What are we learning?
Daily Objective:
Students will be able to graph systems of equations and determine if they are intersecting
lines, parallel lines, or coinciding lines from the solutions.
Students will be able to solve systems of equations using the substitution method.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
Ⓢ ALGI.8A Analyze a problem situation that can be represented by a linear system in two
unknowns, and develop a plan for solving the system using a concrete representation and
linear equations.
Ⓡ ALGI.8B Solve systems of linear equations using concrete models, graphs, tables, and
algebraic methods (substitution and elimination).
Monday
Ⓢ ALGI.8C Interpret and determine the reasonableness of solutions to systems of linear equations.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
 Systems of Equations target practice
 Systems of Equations Hangman
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
Checks for Understanding:
