Master Teacher lessons
Big Idea:
Students move about in a scavenger hunt, solving systems using different algebraic methods.
Big Idea:
Students use data to create equations describing a concrete scenario. Students analyze the equations as a system to solve a problem.
Big Idea:
Assess what students have learned about systems, and find where they may still need help conceptually.
Big Idea:
Is the desktop computer going to disappear? Will laptops and pads take over? Students use a system of equations to make predictions.
Big Idea:
Students figure out how one pirate uses systems of equations to solve a couple of treasure dilemmas.
Big Idea:
Consolidate and review! I love this lesson because it has so many different ways of asking about systems of linear equations.
Big Idea:
How can we use systems of linear equations in real-life systems? Get kids to understand the "break-even" point and apply algebra to the real world.
Big Idea:
Introduce students to the idea of using the concept of systems to solve situations with two unknowns. Confidence builder!
Big Idea:
Get deep into algebraic thinking by solving problems that aren't so straightforward. A tricky one pushes kids to think algebraically.
Big Idea:
Knowing that the sum of the left and right sides of two different equations are equal, is key to solving certain systems, and later, many real world problems.
Big Idea:
Mid-unit test! Catch misconceptions before moving too far into this systems unit...
Big Idea:
Systems of linear equations can be used to solve real-life problems!
Big Idea:
Designing problems and applying learned skills in different real world contexts fosters higher order thinking.
Big Idea:
Figurate Numbers
Big Idea:
Many real world circumstances can be represented by a pair of equations whose solution or approximate solution can be found graphically.
