Systems of Linear Equations: Modeling and Application: Math Unit 7, Grade 8 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Systems of Linear Equations: Modeling and Application is Unit 7 of Pre-Algebra: Foundations for Algebra I (Grade 8), the Letters & Devotion Math course, complete in one printable PDF: 10 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 60 pages.

• The solution of a system as a point satisfying both equations simultaneously
• The intersection point of two graphed lines as the system’s solution
• The substitution method for solving systems
• The relative efficiency of graphing versus substitution as solution methods
• Translation of a two-constraint real-world context into a system of equations
• The real-world meaning of a system’s solution point
• The relationship between slope/intercept comparison and the number of solutions of a system
• The real-world meaning of no-solution and infinite-solution systems
• The full modeling cycle from context to justified system solution
• The no-solution condition extended to standard-form equations

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.
