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?


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, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   How many do you see? How do you see them?
[IMG]
b.   Instead of writing
$$10 \times 10$$
, we can write
$$10^2$$
, which we read “ten to the
power
of two.” The two is the
exponent
and tells us how many times we multiply 10 by itself. How would you represent the number of the smallest spokes in the image above as a power of 10?
Problem 2
a.   Write each of the following as a product of tens and in standard form.
$$10^4$$
$$10^6$$
b.   Write each of the following as a power of 10.
10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
1,000,000,000
Problem 3
a.   Solve.
10 × 10,000 = ______
1,000 × 1,000 = ______
1,000,000 × 100 = ______
b.   How were powers of 10 useful in solving Part (a)?
