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: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Answer: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

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

standard_description: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor:
- A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
- The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find combinations of coins with a value of 100 cents and understand that a dollar is the same as 100 cents. They add within 100 by grouping like coins, using a ten, or using counting on strategies. They find coin combinations that add up to 100 cents or 1 dollar and write the leftover amount as cents. This work builds on students’ understanding of a hundred.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk the tasks by question and check in with students to provide feedback and encouragement after each question. Look for the students to be using a strategy and ask them to verbalize their solution to ensure they are on the right track.

Required Preparation
Add a dollar bill to the money poster showing the front and back to display in the launch.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the poster with the dollar added.
[IMG]
“We just saw that there are many different ways to use coins to make 100 cents. One dollar is also the same as 100 cents.”
“If I have a dollar and I found a quarter, how much money would I have?” (125 cents or \$1 and 25¢)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Display a dollar and a quarter and write $1 and 25¢.
[IMG]
“When you write dollar amounts you use the \$ symbol. Use the ¢ symbol for the amount that cannot be grouped to make a dollar.”
Activity
“Now, you are going to work with a partner to make dollars and cents.”
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who show Priya's money in different ways to share in the Lesson Synthesis.

Priya has $1 and 18¢ in her pocket.
If Priya only had coins in her pocket, what coins could she have?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students show the value of Andre and Han's coins only in cents, consider asking:
“How did you find the total value of the coins?”
“How many dollars does _______ have? How many leftover cents would he have?”
“How could you say how much money _______has using dollars and cents?”
Activity Synthesis
“I noticed that when you were creating a coin collection for Priya, there were different solutions.”
“How is it possible that everyone represented the same amount of money?” (Different coins can show the same amount, but you need a different number of coins.)
Invite students to share different combinations of coins they used to make $1.
Share and record responses.
