Problem 1
The table below contains single equations in a single variable, single equations in two variables, and pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables. Check the appropriate box to show whether there is no solution, exactly 1 solution, or if there is an infinite number of solutions.

Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Concept/skill: 
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Answer: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies (include groups with up to ten objects).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this optional activity is for students to practice the verbal count sequence to 10. This activity is optional because it is an opportunity for extra practice that not all students may need. Based on formative assessment data and observation from previous sections and during the first activity, this activity will be helpful for students who are not yet saying the count sequence to 10. English learners in particular will benefit from this additional opportunity to practice the verbal count sequence.
This activity can be used with a small-group or the whole class. Students who do not need this optional activity may benefit from additional time working in centers. Some students may benefit from working on the concepts in this optional activity more than one time. Consider incorporating counting and counting songs throughout the day and during transitions.
Launch
Groups of 2
“I’m going to count to 10.”
Count to 10.
Activity
“Let’s count to 10 all together.”
Count to 10 all together.
“Let’s count to 10 and clap our hands when we say each number.”
Count to 10 and clap all together.
“Let’s count to 10 and touch the table when we say each number.”
Count to 10 and touch the table all together.
“Let’s count to 10 and put up 1 finger when we say each number.”
Count to 10 and put up each finger all together.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students “sing” the count sequence without separating each number word, prompt them to count slowly and match a gesture or movement with each number.
Activity Synthesis
“Take turns counting to 10 with your partner. You can clap your hands or touch the table when you say each number. You can also think of your own movement for each number.”
