Systems+of+Equations

Grade Level: High School

Unit: Systems of Equations

Lesson Objectives (include 4 or 5):  · Student will understand what is a system of equations  · Student will understand how to apply the system to the real world  · Student will be able to solve systems that have 2 or 3 variables  · Student will be able to use foundational algebra skills to use an equation to solve another  Time Required to complete this lesson: 2 weeks Title of lesson: Solving Systems of Equations Description of lesson: Students will get introduced to using a system of equations by seeing two equations graph on the same graph to get the general understanding that solving a system of equations is finding out all the points that the two equations intersect each other, after seeing the graphical representations of what they will be learning they will find out how to do it without first graphing the equations but using fundamental algebra to do so. Assignment (homework or in-class): Webwork, animated graphs of system of equations, and also a blabber on how to algebraically solve an assigned system of equations.

Resources/materials needed: Blabber, internet, Kids' Zone account

Technology used: Same as above

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: With using the animated graph it will trace each graph and show the points of intersection then with the blabber the students can algebraically talk about how the two graphs intersect at the points that they do.
