MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxMaterials

Graphing Calculator Dry-erase Boards and Markers (Day 1) 1 copy of Watch Out for That Intersection! Practice Problems per student (Day 1) 1 copy of Spin to Win! Practice Problems per student (Day 2) 1 copy of Jet Ski Rental Alternative Assessment (optional)

Graphing Calculator Notes: 8th grade students should have graphing calculators in hand throughout the entire class period

every day. Teachers should frequently model graphing calculator strategies with TI-SmartView or with a

graphing calculator under the HoverCam as students press keys on their handheld graphing calculator at the same time.

We will NOT use the linear regression feature on the graphing calculator in the LINFUN unit. Linear regression will be used as a strategy in the Math 8 STAAR Strategy Booklet and during STAAR review.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxProcedure:Day 1Use the MATH_0382_LINFUN5_MAT_1SIMULTEQUPRES_02 notebook file to guide this lesson.

Slide 1: Title Slide

Use this column to write your own notes:

Slide 2: Have students locate the intersection point and name it as an ordered pair. Click on the yellow “Click to Reveal” box to check the solution which is (2, 1).

Slide 3:Have students verify algebraically on dry-erase boards that the ordered pair (2, 1) makes both equations true. Then pull the screen shade to check student work.

Slide 4:Have students also verify on the graphing calculator that the ordered pair (2, 1) makes both equations true. Students can use the graph on the calculator to verify, but point out that the table feature (2nd, Graph) is much more exact. Pull the screen shade to check student work.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxSlide 5:On this slide, the term “system of linear equations” is used as another name for two equations which are solved simultaneously on a graph. Have students locate the intersection point and name it as an ordered pair. Click on the yellow “Click to Reveal” box to check the answer which is (6, -2).

Slide 6:Have students verify algebraically on dry-erase boards that the ordered pair (6, -2) makes both equations true. Then pull the screen shade to check student work.

Slide 7:Have students also verify on the graphing calculator with the graph and table that the ordered pair (6, -2) makes both equations true. Pull the screen to check student work.

Slide 8:Guide students through this application problem which appears to be very similar to the types of problems worked when students were solving equations with variables on both sides. Pull the screen shade to ask the questions.The solution is (4, 20). At 4 weeks, both Plant A and Plant B will be 20 inches tall.Also ask students what other ordered pairs mean on either of the graphs of the equations in relationship to the scenario. For example, at 2 weeks, which plant is taller? (Plant B) Shorter? (Plant A) At 6 weeks, which plant is taller? (Plant A) Shorter? (Plant B) This helps students understand that all ordered pairs have meaning on either of the graphs of the equations in terms of the scenario.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxSlide 9:Have students verify algebraically on dry-erase boards that the ordered pair (4, 20) makes both equations true. Then pull the screen shade to check student work.

Slide 10:Have students also verify on the graphing calculator with the graph and table that the ordered pair (4, 20) makes both equations true. Pull the screen to check student work.

Slide 11:Guide students through this application problem. Pull the screen shade to ask the questions.The graphs intersect at (3, 28).For 3 pizzas, both Pizza Planet and Eatza Pizza will charge $28.Also ask students what other ordered pairs on either of the graphs of the equations mean in relationship to the scenario. For example, for 2 pizzas, which restaurant is cheaper? (Pizza Planet) More expensive? (Eatza Pizza) For 4 pizzas, which restaurant is cheaper? (Eatza Pizza) More expensive? (Pizza Planet) This helps students understand that all ordered pairs have meaning for the graphs of these equations in terms of the scenario.Slide 12:Have students verify algebraically on dry-erase boards that the ordered pair (3, 28) makes both equations true. Then pull the screen to check student work.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxSlide 14:Transition slide for partner or independent practice

Assign students Watch Out for That Intersection! Practice Problems as individual practice/homework. Encourage students to verify solutions algebraically and/or with the graphing calculator when equations are given.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxProcedure:Day 2Use the MATH_0382_LINFUN5_MAT_2SIMULTEQUPRES_02 notebook file to guide this lesson. Give each student a copy of the Spin to Win Practice Problems. Teachers may choose to have students work the problems before or during the game. Encourage students to verify solutions algebraically and/or with the graphing calculator when equations are given. An answer key is provided and answers are on each slide of the game beneath a “click to reveal” graphic.

Slide 1: This slide provides rules for the game. The number on the problem corresponds to the number on the student copy of the Spin to Win Practice Problems.

If neither team answers correctly, use the problem as a teaching moment.

Use this column to write your own notes:

Slide 2:This is the game board slide. Be sure to place a check mark over problems once they are completed. Keep score in the lower left-hand corner.

Slides 3 – 22:Problems for the game are located on these slides and are linked to the rectangles on the left-hand side of slide 2.

Slide 3 is pictured here.

Click the wheel in the lower right-hand corner of each slide to return to slide 2 once a problem is completed.

Students most likely will not be able to finish all 20 practice problems in class. The remaining problems can be assigned for homework or practice on another day in class.

MATH_0382_LINFUN5_LES_02.docxOptional Activity:

Jet Ski Rental is provided as an optional alternative assessment/activity and should be completed with a partner or small group. Graphing calculator is required. Points are assigned to each question on the student copy and a key is provided.

Answer Key

1. (8, 130)

2. If a customer rents a jet ski for 8 hours, the cost of $130 will be the same at both rental companies.

3. Alfie’s Jet Ski Rental Company; At 2 hours, Alfie’s company charges a total of $70 while Bubba’s Jet Ski Rental Company charges a total of $85.

4. Bubba’s Jet Ski Rental Company; At 14 hours, Bubba’s company charges a total of $175 while Alfie’s Jet Ski Rental Company charges a total of $190.

5. Answers vary, but the graph must have (8, 130) as the intersection point with the other two companies. y = 16.25x is one possibility.

6. Answers vary, but the equation must have (8, 130) in its table of values. Use the graphing calculator to verify student answers.

7. (8, 130)

8. If a customer rents a jet ski for 8 hours, the cost of $130 will be the same at all three rental companies.
