Math Florida Standard(s)
Benchmarks, Descriptions
and DOK levels / MAFS.912.A-CED.1.2 (DOK 2): Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. Identify quantities in a mathematical problem or real world situation that should be represented by distinct variables and describe what quantities the variables represent. Create at least two equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities. MAFS.912.A-CED.1.3 (DOK 3): Represent constraints by systems of equations and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. MAFS.912.A.REI.3.5 (DOK3): 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. Recognize and use properties of equality to maintain equivalent systems of equations. Justify that replacing one equation in a two-equation system with the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other will yield the same solutions as the original system. MAFS.912.A.REI.3.6 (DOK 1): Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately, focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables. Solve systems of linear equations by any method. Justify the method used to solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately, focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables. MAFS.912.A-REI.4.11 (DOK 2): Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions. MAFS.912.A.REI.4.12 (DOK 2): Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes. Identify characteristics of a linear inequality and a system of linear inequalities, such as: boundary line, shading, and determine the appropriate points to test and derive a solution set form. Explain the meaning of the intersection of the shaded regions in a system of linear inequalities.
Learning Goal / Students will be able to solve systems of linear and non-linear equations and/or inequalities through various methods, and interpret solutions as they relate to real-world problems.
Essential Question(s) / How would you decide which method to use to solve and justify systems of equations? How could you apply systems of equations to problem solving in the real world? How do you explain how a system of equations will help a business man determine the break-even point and help to analyze future trends?
Assessments / Pre-Assessments / Bell ringer- What is a system
Formative Assessments / Quizzes and independent practice
Summative Assessments / Linear system test/ final project.
Progress Monitoring/ Feedback Loop / Homework will give immediate feedback as to progress as they will be graded whole class and students will be able to ask questions immediately.If the student has a 70 or below on a quiz he can study more and retake it within a 7 day period for full credit. If the student has below a 70, the instructor will provide real time remediation.
Higher Order Question(s) / What do you notice about…? What is the relationship of the quantities? How do the important quantities in your problem relate to each other? How do you know your answer is correct/reasonable?
