STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Unit 11
Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities (chapter 7)
BIG IDEAS:
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPT
Students will learn how solve systems of linear equations by
graphing. The systems will be classified as consistent or
inconsistent, as independent or dependent. Students also will
learn to apply algebraic methods to solve systems. These
methods include substitution, elimination using addition or
subtraction, and elimination using multiplication first.
Student will determine which method is best for different
systems. We will also solve systems of inequalities by
graphing.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
VOCABULARY:
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will:
Systems of equations, substitution, elimination, system of
inequalities, consistent, inconsistent, dependent,
independent, solve systems by graphing, solve systems by
substitution, solve systems by elimination using addition,
solve systems by elimination using subtraction, solve systems
by elimination using multiplication.
M11.C.3.1
M11.D.2.1
Solve problems using analytic geometry.
Solve and/or graph linear equations and
inequalities using various methods.
M11.D.4.1
Interpret and/or use linear, quadratic
and/or exponential functions and their equations, graphs
or tables

Does the system of linear equations have 0, 1, or
infinitely many solutions?
Is the system consistent or inconsistent?
Is the system dependent or independent?
Can I really use a graph to determine the solution to the
system of linear equations?
Which variable should I substitute for?
Which variable should I try to eliminate?
Do my solutions work?

(2 days review, 1 enrichment, 1 assessment)
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:
Students will participate in class discussions, guided practice,
computer work, and whiteboard activities
OTHER EVIDENCE:
Students will actively participate in class examples, discussion,
class work, whiteboards, open ended assessments, graphic
organizers, exit tickets, daily warm ups, homework, Think
Through Math and unit tests, quizzes, and other formative
assessments.
STAGE III: LEARNING PLAN
INSTRUCTIONAL
PROCEDURES:
(Active Engagement, Explicit
Instruction, Metacognition, Modeling,
Scaffolding)
Active Engagement
Note Taking, Modeling, Whole
Class Response, Partnering,
Higher Level Thinking Skills
Scaffolding
Guided Notes, Chunking,
Build on prior Knowledge,
Teacher Prompting, Visual
Support
Daily: Warm up will include a
spiraling review of prior
knowledge to include the
upcoming lesson
Daily: Check for
understanding using warm-up,
homework, or formative
assessment questioning to
determine whether to continue
as needed or do interventions
as needed. (model, spiral
scaffolding, instruct/reteach, as
needed)
MINI LESSON:
