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?


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to solve a real-world problem that involves finding the volume of a figure composed of two right rectangular prisms. Unlike many other figures students have seen, this one can be decomposed into two rectangular prisms in only one way. Students may rearrange the two prisms to make a single, long rectangular prism.
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Give students access to graph paper or connecting cubes as tools to use to design their own garden.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing, Conceptual Processing, Organization
Launch
Display the picture of the garden from the student workbook:
[IMG]
“This type of garden is called a raised bed garden because the plants are not in the ground.”
“If we planted a garden at our school, what vegetables would you want to grow?”
Activity
5 minutes: individual work time
5 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who break the garden into two rectangular prisms, finding the volume of each, and for students who put them together to form a single rectangular prism.
Student Facing
The elementary school is going to build a raised bed garden like the one in the picture, but they will use a different design. Here is a diagram that shows the side lengths of the garden the school will build.
[IMG]
What is the volume of the garden? Explain or show your reasoning.
Write an expression to represent the volume of the garden.
[IMG]
Noah wants to design a garden with the same volume but different side lengths. What could the side lengths of his garden be?
Which garden design do you like better? Explain or show your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
Display the diagram of the garden from the task.
Invite students to share how they found its volume.
“What do the two parts of the garden have in common?” (They are both 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.)
“What is different about the two parts of the garden?” (The length. One piece is 10 feet long and the other piece is 8 feet long.)
“How could you put the pieces together to make a single rectangular prism?” (The sides that are 3 feet by 4 feet fit together and the length would be 18 feet.)
