Solve systems of equations.
Build on student experiences graphing and solving systems of linear equations from middle school to focus on justification of the methods used. Include cases where the two equations describe the same line (yielding infinitely many solutions) and cases where two equations describe parallel lines (yielding no solution); connect to GPE.5, which requires students to prove the slope criteria for parallel lines.
A.REI.6
Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
 
  • Can You Get to the Point, Too? - A Solidify Understanding Task
    Solving systems of linear equations by elimination (A.REI.5, A.REI.6) This task solidifies the strategies for solving systems of equations. Students will begin by writing a system of equations to represent the shopping scenarios. Students will recognize that we can obtain an equivalent system of equations by replacing one or both equations in the system. Systems of Equations and Inequalities Module - Task 8
  • Can You Get to the Point, Too? - Teacher Notes
    Teacher Notes for the task "Can You Get to the Point, Too?" (A.REI.5, A.REI.6) Systems of Equations and Inequalities Module - Task 8
  • Everything Balances Out in the End
    In this unit of three lessons, from Illuminations, students use a pan balance to study equality, order of operations, numerical and variable expressions and other key algebraic concepts.
  • Get to the Point! - A Solidify Understanding Task
    Solving systems of linear equations in two variables (A.REI.6) This task is designed to solidify graphical, numerical and algebraic strategies for solving a system of two linear equations. Systems of Equations and Inequalities Module - Task 6
