Openstax Elementary Algebra 2e Text: Solving Equations
Solving Equations
Systems of Equations Module
Algebra 1 NOYCE Module
Overview
The two modules contain lessons on Solving Systems of Equations and Solving Equations. Each module contains days of instruction as well as homework problems. The first module contains a Geogebra assessment and the second includes a Jeopardy game.
Systems of Equations
Overview: Integrated Algebra and Tech Lessons
Education Level: Highschool, 9th grade
This module follows the Openstax Elementary Algebra 2nd Edition textbook. The following module consists of 3 lessons of content, a Geogebra introductory webquest and a small systems of equations project assessment. The lessons are written as followed:
- Graphing Systems of equations and substitution
- Solving systems by elimination and matrices
- Systems applications
- Geogebra webquest
- Systems project/assessment
The first lesson consists of learning the different solutions of systems of equations using graphing, as well as how to use the substitution method. The second lesson consists of how to solve by elimination and how to insert them into matrices. The third lesson consists of applications including a chemistry example. The 4th day consists of a geogebra quest, where students will go through a worksheet on how to use geogebra. The 5th day consists of working on the project where students are to build their own application problem, graph it in geogebra, solve by either elimination or substitution, and interpret their solutions.
The lessons are planned for 50-minute instruction. The first three lessons consists of an opener, that allows students to use their background knowledge that will help them with the lecture. The lecture that provides instruction on how to go about the following lesson. A closure that includes problems following the lecture. These problems can be done in a group or alone. Lastly, practice problems that can be done as homework.
The lessons follow in one PowerPoint. Be sure to look at the notes written in the PowerPoint. The practice problem work sheets follow on this PDF as well as their answer keys.
This module may be used and rearranged to fit your school’s curriculum.
Solving Equations
This module follows the Openstax Elementary Algebra 2nd Edition textbook. The following module consists of 4 lessons and a jeopardy review game. The lessons are written as followed:
- Equations with variables and constants on both sides
- Using a general strategy to solve linear equations
- Solving Formulas for a specific variable
- Physics applications
The first three lessons consist of building and manipulating equations. This then allows students to rearrange their formulas to find fast solutions to problems. These lessons build up to applications that allow students to receive a preview of physics formulas and applications.
