Systems of Linear Equations: Math Unit 2, Grade 9 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Systems of Linear Equations is Unit 2 of Algebra I (Grade 9), the Letters & Devotion Math course, complete in one printable PDF: 9 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 72 pages.

• The point of intersection of two lines as a shared solution to both equations
• The graphing method for solving a linear system
• The substitution method for solving a linear system
• The elimination method and the general algebraic justification (given A=B and C=D, then A+kC=B+kD) that it preserves the solution set
• The relationship between slope/intercept and the number of solutions to a linear system
• Translation of a two-constraint real-world scenario into a system of linear equations
• Viability of an algebraic solution against the real-world constraints of the situation it models
• The relationship between equation structure (coefficient values, isolated variables) and the relative efficiency of substitution versus elimination
• Solving and interpreting a system in a context that does not signal which special case or method applies

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
