Master Teacher lessons
Big Idea:
As students gain confidence in graphing - and interpreting the intersection points on - systems of equations, we continue to see how this skill relates to guess and check.
Big Idea:
Over the course of today’s lesson, students will beg for an algebraic solution, understand on their own why it’s great that algebra was invented, and see the beauty of an elegant solution.
Big Idea:
The "closeness" of one graph to another matches the accuracy of a guess and a check.
Big Idea:
When students are given time to work at their own pace, without the pressure of a "quiz," they can make the most of an opportunity to show what they can do.
Big Idea:
The purpose of this lesson is for students to understand how to analyze a system of equations to determine when a plan is cheaper, more expensive, or cost the same at certain points on the graph.
Big Idea:
Students create systems of equations and attempt to solve them as an introduction to the relevance of solving systems of equations and inequalities!
Big Idea:
If you’re going to have a variety a tools, it’s a good idea to have a good idea of what each is good for!
Big Idea:
Students start with a concrete problem as they define constraints and progress to the abstract level of solving using algebraic methods. .
Big Idea:
It’s amazing to get to the point where students truly understand how useful and beautiful algebra can be. Transitioning from graphing systems to solving by substitution is an opportunity to get kids there.
Big Idea:
Students will use standard A.REI.11 to solve exponential equations without using logarithms.
Big Idea:
It's a pretty straightforward practice session, of the sort that kids actually look forward to after days of problem solving.
Big Idea:
A little over a week into a systems unit, it's important to take a little time to meet kids where they are and assess where they're at. Today's work will serve as a springboard to the next few days.
Big Idea:
Graphing technology is used to reinforce understanding of concepts and methods for solving systems of equations
Big Idea:
The idea of this lesson is to provide students with an alternate teaching method by using Khan Academy to gain interest, comprehension, and scaffolding for differentiated learning.
Big Idea:
Students need to be able to meaningfully describe the solution to a system of linear equations.
