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?

8
standard_description: Subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (positive or zero differences), using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to analyze what they have learned from the data and representations in the previous activities and to share their findings. In this activity, students select two things they learned and illustrate them using a tape diagram.
Monitor for tape diagrams that can be displayed during the lesson synthesis and compared to the bar graph selected in a previous activity. While the graph and diagram do not have to be from the same pair, it would be helpful for students to see data from the same survey displayed with different representations.
To add movement to this activity, consider a gallery walk. Students can make their diagrams on poster paper. As students walk around the room, they select a few diagrams and determine what information they learn about their class based on the diagram and equation.
Launch
Groups of 2
“You and your partner are going to draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.”
“Decide with your partner which 2 facts you want to share with the class and how you will compare the two facts.”
1 minute: partner discussion.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
Students check in with their partners to be sure their representations make sense and are accurate.
3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for a few examples of accurate tape diagrams and equations.
Student Facing
Draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.
Write an equation that represents the comparison.
