Lesson 1:Introductory Task Kimi and Jordan 8. EE.8a: Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. 8. EE.8b: Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. 8. EE.8c: Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair. Prerequisite Competencies 1. Write linear equations (relationships) 2. Solve linear equations 3. Graph linear equations 4. Understanding of properties of equality Page 3 of 23

*Grade 8 Required Fluency: Solve simple 2 x 2 systems by inspection Systems of linear equations can also have one solution, infinitely many solutions or no solutions. Students will discover these cases as they graph systems of linear equations and solve them algebraically. A system of linear equations whose graphs meet at one point (intersecting lines) has only one solution, the ordered pair representing the point of intersection. A system of linear equations whose graphs do not meet (parallel lines) has no solutions and the slopes of these lines are the same. A system of linear equations whose graphs are coincident (the same line) has infinitely many solutions, the set of ordered pairs representing all the points on the line. By making connections between algebraic and graphical solutions and the context of the system of linear equations, students are able to make sense of their solutions. Students need opportunities to work with equations and context that include whole number and/or decimals/fractions. Examples: Find x and y using elimination and then using substitution. 3x + 4y = 7-2x + 8y = 10 Plant A and Plant B are on different watering schedules. This affects their rate of growth. Compare the growth of the two plants to determine when their heights will be the same. Let W= number of weeks Let H= height of the plant after W weeks Plant A Plant B W H W H 0 4 (0,4) 0 2 (0,2) 1 6 (1,6) 1 6 (1,6) 2 8 (2,8) 2 10 (2,10) 3 10 (3,10) 3 14 (3,14) Page 21 of 23

Given each set of coordinates, graph their corresponding lines. Solution: Write an equation that represent the growth rate of Plant A and Plant B. Solution: Plant A H = 2W + 4 Plant B H = 4W + 2 At which week will the plants have the same height? Solution: The plants have the same height after one week. Plant A: H = 2W + 4 Plant B: H = 4W + 2 Plant A: H = 2(1) + 4 Plant B: H = 4(1) + 2 Plant A: H = 6 Plant B: H = 6 After one week, the height of Plant A and Plant B are both 6 inches. *Fluent in the Standards means fast and accurate. It might also help to think of fluency as meaning the same thing as when we say, that somebody is fluent in foreign language; when you re fluent, you flow. Fluent isn t halting, stumbling, or reversing oneself. Assessing fluency requires attending to issues of time (and even perhaps rhythm, which could be achieved with technology).
