Lesson Plan

Solving systems (substitution, elimination, graphing)

Goals / Objectives

Determine whether a given ordered pair is a solution of a system by substituting into both equations

Solve a system of two linear equations by substitution, choosing the variable to isolate from the coefficients

Solve a system of two linear equations by elimination, including cases where both equations must be scaled

Solve a system of two linear equations by graphing, and explain why the point of intersection is the solution

Select the most efficient method for a given system by reading its form

Translate a two-quantity word problem into a system of two linear equations and solve it

Standards
