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: Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000 for the six-digit numbers they saw in the first activity. They may do so by using the number lines from earlier, but they may also start to notice a pattern in the relationship between the numbers and the nearest multiples without the number lines (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.

Groups of 2 or 4
Display number line with endpoints of 100,000 and 200,000.
Activity
“Take a few quiet minutes to work on the activity. Then, share your responses with your group.”
6–7 minutes: independent work time
3–4 minutes: group discussion
Student Facing
Use the number line that represents the numbers between 100,000 and 200,000 for this activity.
Name the multiple of 10,000 that is the nearest to each number. (Leave the last column blank for now.)
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1", "class": ["c-table-spread"], "style": "width:100%"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "number"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col", "style": "width:40%"}, "_value": "nearest multiple of 10,000"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col", "style": "width:40%"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math"]}, "_value": "\\(\\phantom{nearest multiple}\\)"}]}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "100,025"}], "td": [{}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "128,201"}], "td": [{}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "140,261"}], "td": [{}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "158,002"}], "td": [{}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "194,030"}], "td": [{}, {}]}]}]}]}
Here is the number line with 215,300 shown on it. Which multiple of 100,000 is the nearest to 215,300?
[IMG]
Label the last column in the table “nearest multiple of 100,000.” Then, name the nearest multiple of 100,000 for each number in the table.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may see that the nearest multiples of 10,000 for a number are the two tick marks surrounding the point but may be unsure what numbers they represent. Ask them to recall what each tick mark represents on this set of number lines and urge them to count the marks.
Activity Synthesis
Display the blank table from the activity. Invite students to share their responses to complete the table. Discuss any disagreements.
Invite students to share how they identified the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000.
If no students mentioned that they examined the location of each point visually and decided the closest tick marks on the number line, ask them about it.
