 * Lesson Topic and Description:** Systems of Equations

**__Focus on Concepts__**
--What do we mean when we say a point is a 'solution' to an equation? --Why learn a variety of ways to solve the same type of problem? --How can systems be applied in real life?

**__Provision for Acceleration and Compression of Content__**
--Putting how lines interact exploration activity with solving systems using graphing method

**__Enrichment__**
--Using Matrices for systems

**__More Advanced Reading and Vocabulary__**
--focus on proper terminology (coefficient, opposites, substiute (instead of 'plug in'), break even point)

**__Use of Primary Sources, Artifacts, and Real World Objects__**

**Knowledge or Remembering:** What are the three methods for solving systems of equations?

 * Comprehension or Understanding:** Identify which method would be best to use to solve a particular system of equations.
 * Application or Applying:** Demonstrate how to solve a system of equations using ___ method.
 * Analysis or Analyzing:** Contrast the answers 'all solutions' and 'infinitely many solutions'. Why is one correct and one incorrect?
 * Synthesis or Evaluating:** Conclude whether two lines will have one, no, or infinitely many solutions based only on their equations.
 * Evaluation or Creating:** Generate your own system of equations application problem.
