Systems of Linear Equations Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan for System of Linear Equations (342)

	What	How	Who
Bridge	There are situations in our daily life where we want to know two (any number) unknown pieces of information at the same time, (I will give you an example) and as long as you can find two (any number) independent relationships between these two (any number) unknowns, you can set up a system of equations and find the exact value of these unknowns.	Explain this, using words, and perhaps giving more examples.	Niyaz
Learning Objectives	Students should be able to: 1.    Solve a system of linear equations with two variables using the method of substitution. 2.   Understand the different types of solutions that can arise	We’ll mention that we will cover this information and will make sure that they will be able to do this by the end of the lesson.
Teaching Objectives	To get students to develop the algorithm for themselves	We’ll give suggestions, but  expect them to come up with each step	Shannon
Pretest	Asking questions while showing how to go about solving the given example.		All of us.
Participatory learning	1.    Giving them different examples to practice their knowledge. 2.   When doing the first example together, get students to go up to the board to do each step	1.    Handing out the examples to all of them. 2.   When they give a suggestion, invite them up to the board to show us what they mean
Post-Test	1.    Asking them questions as they are solving their given problems. 2.   Get them to share their solutions with the class. 3.   Engage in a discussion about the different types of solutions		All of us. 2 & 3 will be Matt
Summary	Telling the students what they have learned today.		Shannon will summarize part way through. Matt again at the end (about the different types of solutions)
