1/6 Lesson 5.1.1 Solving equations with 2 variables

1.  Warm-up:  

2.  Mini-lesson:  Solving equations with 2 variables

• -6x + 2y = 10 is in "standard form"
• What if we want to know the y-intercept and the growth?
• We need to re-write the equation into y = ...

3.  Lesson 5.1.1 Solving equations with 2 variables

• Objective:  I will re-write equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
• Problem 3 in teams (choose 2, find consensus, check the answer key)
• Problem 4 in teams (do all, find consensus, check the answer key)

1/4 Lesson 4.1.6 Graphing Equations without a Table

1.  Warm-up (in teams): Take out your own Representations of Patterns Web.  Think about the connections between patterns, rules, tables and graphs, as you solve this problem.

What statements can you make about the tile pattern at the right?  How many tiles are in Figure 0?  How many tiles are in Figure 1?  What is the growth of the pattern?  Can you write a rule?
