Intro to Systems of Equations Activityy
About This Product
This is an Intro to Systems of Equations Introduction Activity that your high school students will love.
This is an activity designed for 9th – 10th grade students. It is a cooperative partner activity.
Purpose of the lesson:
For students to see that a system of equations involves two equations with 2 variables and that the solution is when the values of the variables in one equation “match” the values in the other equation.
For students to see multiple representations of systems (table, graph, equations) and for them to see how the solution shows up in each representation.
For students to see systems of equations in a concrete, relatable way (dropping chips in a cup) before moving to the abstract (equations without context). The activity provides a low entry point for all students to engage and increases in rigor as the lesson progresses.
This PowerPoint will begin with a Do Now that will set the foundation for the activity. Students will be posed with 2 essential questions, that serve as the objectives for them.
Each slide provides steps for students to complete as well as a time limit for completion. This is an editable presentation, so you will be able to tweak times to fit your students’ needs.
A printable handout is included, so students can work together to complete their guided notes as they work to solve each problem.
I hope you enjoy!
