Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

How can you solve systems of linear equations? This slideshow introduces learners to the substitution method, the elimination method using addition and subtraction, and the elimination method using multiplication. Guided practice...

Ninth graders know how to solve a system of linear equations, but what happens when the system involves an exponential function? The instructional slideshow teaches viewers to determine solutions to systems of equations with linear...

Good graphs make solving systems simpler. Pupils answer 18 questions shown in a PowerPoint presentation as part of the Claim 1 Item Slide Show series. By considering these questions, they review the concepts of graphing equations and...

A math model is a good model. A slide show presents 10 sample items on modeling and data analysis. Items from Smarter Balanced illustrate different ways that Claim 4 may be assessed on the 8th grade math assessment. The presentation is...

Can learners determine solutions associated with lines? A slide presentation contains sample items for the Smarter Balanced 8th grade math Target D covering solving linear equations and systems of linear equations. Items illustrate the...

Math can be a problem in eighth grade. Sample items show how problem solving exists within the eighth grade standards. Part of the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series, the presentation contains eight items to illustrate the...

An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

Communication is the key. A dozen sample items require scholars to communicate their reasoning involved in arriving at a solution. The PowerPoint from the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series uses a variety of content to...

This lesson demonstrates graphing two lines on a coordinate plane and determining the point where two lines intersect. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Finding Intersections."
