Concept/skill: 
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.

Problem/activity:
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: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

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

8
standard_description: Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding within 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students add 2 two-digit numbers, with composing a ten, using methods based on place value and the properties of operations.
In this activity, students have an opportunity to look for and make use of structure (MP7) because they decompose addends to make a new ten.

Activity Synthesis
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(37 + 3\)
?” (I know 37 is 3 more tens than 7. Since I know
\(3 + 7\)
is 10, I need to add
\(30 +10\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(7 + 8\)
?” (
\(7 + 3 = 10\)
. So far I have added 3 of the 8 and have 5 left.
\(10 + 5 = 15\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 8\)
help you solve
\(57 + 8\)
?” (Since I know
\(7 + 8 = 15\)
, I can add
\(50 + 15 = 65\)
)
