Summative Unit Assessment : Textbook-Derived Assessment
Summative Assessment Objective
Students WillDemonstrate an understanding of slope and its many uses by calculating
slope (constant rate of change) from table and graphs, using slope to
complete tables and graphs, show that an equation with a slope represents a
linear relationship, describe differences between positive and negative slopes
when graphing, use slope to create a linear graph, use graphing linear
equations to solve a system of equations.

Students will—
Solve equations for either x or y to
use its equivalent as a substitute
when solving a system of
equations
Students will—
Discover how variables get
eliminated in systems of
equations, resulting in solving a
one-step equation for another
variable.
Use this value to substitute and
solve for the remaining variable
Students will—
Multiply one equation within a
system to get the coefficients of
one variable to match and cancel
out.
Students will—
Multiply both equations within a
system to generate common
coefficients that cause a particular
variable to cancel out.
Students will—
Solve a system of equations by all
3 methods—graphing,
substitution, elimination and
create a mini-poster project
Students will—
Write and solve systems of
equations from word problems
