Instructional Ideas

  • Incorporate with other videos from this series to teach each method of solving linear systems
  • Ask your classes to compare and contrast the three methods of solving systems

Classroom Considerations

  • Meant as a review of the three methods of solving systems: substitution, elimination, and graphing
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Uses the same system throughout to illustrate the similarities and differences in the methods
  • Leaves all three methods on the same screen to allow for comparisons during the entire lesson

Cons

  • None
