Daily Lesson Plan for Substitution Activity

Course, Unit Theme and Grade Level

Utah State Core Standard and
Objective (numbers/letters are fine)

Understanding(s) for the day

Solving Systems of Equations, 9th grade

A.REI.6 Solve systems of linear equations exactly and
approximately (numerically, algebraically,
graphically), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two
variables.
There is not just one way to solve a problem, though some
methods are more efficient than others.

Essential Question(s) for the day

Is there a correct way to solve a problem?

Is there more than one way to solve a problem?

How do you anticipate activities,

materials etc. connect to students
prior knowledge?

Today is purely a day to practice material they have already

learned, which is solving systems of equations.

(academic, interests, learning styles,

motivation, Funds of Knowledge)

Learning Activities:
(Include description and time frame
for each activity)

Accommodations made for struggling

and accelerated learners

Resources

-Quiz on solving systems of equations and inequalities by

graphing
-Speed dating, which will give me time to walk around and see
how they are doing.
-Quiz: 10ish minutes
-Speed dating: Each student will be given an equation. They will
take that equation dating. Two students will make a system of
equations, which they must solve. They will rotate and meet with
different students, making different equations. Once done, they
must find something they have in common. 45 minutes
-Clean up/ put the room back into order. 5 minutes
I am giving each student their equation. Beforehand I sort the
equations into easy, normal, and hard piles. I will give each
student an equation based on their skill level (so my gifted
students can be challenged, while the struggling students wont
be overwhelmed.
The kids dont only have to do math. They are also encouraged to
be social and get to know their classmates better. The whole
activity is differentiation, because I wanted to give them a more
interactive activity.
