Standards-based Lesson Plan Template Standards/Elements:
Define, Evaluate, and Compare Functions:
MCC8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
MCC8.F.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
MCC8.F.3 Interpret the equation y = mx+b as defining linear functions, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear.
Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations:
MCC8.EE.8a Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.
MCC8.EE.8b Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection.
MCC8.EE.8c Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables.
MCC8.SP.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
MCC8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
Essential Question(s): 1.  What does it meant to solve a system of linear equations
2.  How do I decide which method would be easier to use to solve a particular system of equations?
3.  How can I translate a problem situation into a system of equations?
4.  How can I interpret the meaning of a “system of equations” algebraically and geometrically?
5.  How can I analyze a scatter plot? / GPS Task or Teacher Design Task
1.  Systems of Equations (Graphing, Substitution, and Elimination)
2.  Scatter Plots
3.  Review all concepts (All Units) for the Final Exam
