Grade 8: Solving real-world linear equations

iditirro22 — 2025-10-13 00:49:10 UTC

OLS 8.EE.8.C: Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to pairs of linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.

Knowledge (Remembering)

iditirro22 — 2025-10-13 01:10:17 UTC

Students will complete a Kahoot activity to identify slope, y-intercept, and forms of linear equations (slope-intercept, point-slope, standard form).

Comprehension (Understanding)

iditirro22 — 2025-10-13 01:20:25 UTC

Students use Desmos Classroom to explore how changes in slope and intercept affect a line’s position, and visually see where two lines intersect.

Application (Applying)

Students work in Google Sheets or GeoGebra to plot two equations and use the graphing tools to find intersection points that represent real-world solutions (e.g., comparing two phone plans or ticket prices).

Analysis (Analyze)

In small groups using Padlet, students sort examples of systems solved by substitution, elimination, and graphing. They identify advantages/disadvantages of each method for various scenarios.

Synthesis (Create)

iditirro22 — 2025-10-13 01:37:12 UTC

Students design a real-world scenario (e.g., comparing business profits, travel rates, or plan costs) using Desmos to present the problem, graph both equations, and interpret the solution (intersection).

Evaluation (Evaluate)

Students record short Flip (Flipgrid) videos explaining which solving method (graphing, substitution, or elimination) is best suited for a particular problem and why.
