8.9 Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies
mathematical process standards to use multiple representations to
develop foundational concepts of simultaneous linear equations. The
Content Area Standards student is expected to identify and verify the values of x and y that
simultaneously satisfy two linear equations in the form y=mx+b from the
intersections of the graphed equations.

Focus/Anticipatory Set The teacher will start with a
(motivational hook) Quizzizz on solving systems
of equations. The teacher will
ask the students what it
means when two lines cross

Potential Challenges/Plan B
Potential challenges may include the lesson going too quickly, leaving the students out of material to do at the
end. If the class finishes early, teacher will look for a Quizzizz/Gimkit to reiterate what was taught and to give
additional practice.

Assessment
Assessments include a Quizizz designed to see what the students know about slope and rate of change.
The same assessment will be given before and after the lesson to see how the students improved.
