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, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Task
Given below is a table that gives the populations of foxes and rabbits in a national park over a 12 month period. Note that each value of $t$ corresponds to the beginning of the month and $t = 0$ corresponds to the beginning of January.
|       $t$, month       |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $r$, number of rabbits |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|  $f$, number of foxes  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Note that the number of rabbits and the number of foxes are both functions of time.
Explain why it is appropriate to model the number of rabbits and foxes as trigonometric functions of time.
Find an appropriate trigonometric function that models the number of rabbits, $r(t)$, as a function of time, $t$, in months.
Find an appropriate trigonometric function that models the number of foxes, $f(t)$, as a function of time, $t$, in months.
Graph both functions and give one possible explanation why one function seems to “chase” the other function.
