Flexing with Linear Equations

Type: Mini-lesson

Theme: Linear Equations

Grades: 9, 10

Learning Target: Students will gain greater flexibility for finding solutions for two linear equations.

Provide an explanation of the process.

  1. Display a set of linear equations. Explain how solutions are found for both individual and sets of equations. Illustrate within Desmos.com.
  2. Display y=2x+1, y=-4x-5. Illustrate on the whiteboard how to solve.
  3. Demonstrate how to snip, crop, copy, and paste final solutions into the meeting chat.

Use Breakout Rooms and provide groups of three challenges.

  1. Find solution to y=1, y=4x+2
  2. Find solution to y=3x+3, y=4x+2
  3. Find solution to 2y=8x+3, y=4x+2

Students will snip, crop, copy, and paste final solutions into the meeting chat.

When are their no solutions? When are there infinite solutions?
