Assignment #4

8 Learning Activities

9th Grade Algebra I Systems of Equations Unit

1. Multiple Intelligence: Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence

Type of Learning Style: Auditory and Visual Numerical Learner

Activity: The students’ will be taking notes and listening to a lecture on

how to solve systems of equations using the elimination method. They

will be shown step by step procedures and using numerical values and

manipulation to solve the system. They will demonstrate their

understanding of the elimination method by completing practice problems

and writing down the steps they used to solve the system.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.1-Formulate algebraic expressions for use in equations and

inequalities that require planning to accurately model real-world

problems.

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

2. Multiple Intelligence: Logical/Mathematical Intelligence

Type of Learning Style: Tactile or Kinesthetic Learner

Activity: Students will use graph paper and a ruler to graph two

equations and find the intersection point. They will use the slope and

points to graph the equations and then determine the intersection point and

what it represents given the real world situation.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

3. Multiple Intelligence: Visual/Spatial Intelligence

Type of Learning Style: Visual Learner

Activity: Students will be going to a computer lab and completing

activities on the smart board and using interactive websites. The smart

board activity will have them demonstrate graphing of equations and

answer questions regarding the equations. This will give the students the

opportunity to visually manipulate and see the equation and its

components, along with solving for its variables. The interactive website

allows the students to solve systems of equations by dragging points on a

graph to find the correct solution. It lets them manipulate the equations by

moving the points on the equations and move the solution in order to see

the variety of solving systems of equations.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.7- Analyze situations and solve problems by determining the

equation of a line given a graph of a line, two points on the line, the

slope, and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept.

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

4. Multiple Intelligence: Intrapersonal Intelligence

Type of Learning Style: Visual Learner

Activity: Throughout the unit students will create a K-W-L chart to track

their prior knowledge, their interests, and a reflection of what they have

learned during the unit. This will help them apply their prior knowledge

and reflect upon the concepts covered in the unit with the use of a visual

style. Prior to the beginning of the unit, we will complete the “K” and

“W” portion of the activity. On the final day of the unit, we will come

back and complete the “L” part so that the students can reflect on what

they have learned by completing the unit on systems of equations.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.1-Formulate algebraic expressions for use in equations and

inequalities that require planning to accurately model real-world

problems.

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.7- Analyze situations and solve problems by determining the

equation of a line given a graph of a line, two points on the line, the

slope, and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept.

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

5. Multiple Intelligence: Bodily/Kinesthetic

Type of Learning Style: Tactile or Kinesthetic Learner

Activity: The students will be doing an investigation activity using

pennies, paper clips and a sheet of paper. The students will be in groups

of 4 and will be given the same materials. They will discover and create a

system of equations using the materials and will investigate how to

eliminate one of the variable in the activity. They will discover how to

manipulate a system of equations and how to illustrate the elimination

method in order to solve.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.1-Formulate algebraic expressions for use in equations and

inequalities that require planning to accurately model real-world

problems.

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

6. Multiple Intelligence: Interpersonal Intelligence

Type of Learning Style: Auditory and Visual Learner

Activity: The students will be doing an activity in groups involving a real

world situation. They will be assigned to a group of 4 and then within that

group they will be paired off. As they work on the activity they will be

discussing and reporting to their other group members about their findings

and discoveries. They will then compare and contrast the Hot Shirts and

US shirts activities, by graphing both equations found on the same

coordinate plane. They will work together to come to the conclusion of

where the two graphed equations intersect.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.1-Formulate algebraic expressions for use in equations and

inequalities that require planning to accurately model real-world

problems.

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.7- Analyze situations and solve problems by determining the

equation of a line given a graph of a line, two points on the line, the

slope, and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept.

M.O.A1.2.9- Create and solve systems of linear equations graphically and

numerically using the elimination method and the substitution

method, given a real-world situation.

Resources: Hot Shirts and US Shirts activities.

7. Multiple Intelligence: Naturalist

Type of Learning Style: Tactile or Kinesthetic Learner

Activity: The students will go to the football field and complete an

activity on creating and graphing systems of equations. The students will

use yarn to create the oversized Cartesian Coordinate Plane, and then

graph the equations. This activity will allow the students to visualize the

coordinate plane on a larger scale and gives them the opportunity to go

outside and develop their algebra skills in a non-traditional school

environment.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.7- Analyze situations and solve problems by determining the

equation of a line given a graph of a line, two points on the line, the

slope, and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept.

8. Multiple Intelligence: Musical/Rhythmic

Type of Learning Style: Auditory Learner

Activity: To address the musical learners, we will listen to the rap song

Rise Up (Run Out). The students will be given a copy of the lyrics and

interpret the important information about graphing equations. The song

will help students learn the elements to graph linear equations on a

coordinate plane. It also includes a real life example, which follows along

with the unit involving real world situations.

Objectives:

M.O.A1.2.6- Determine the slope of a line through a variety of strategies

(e.g. given an equation or graph).

M.O.A1.2.7- Analyze situations and solve problems by determining

the equation of a line given a graph of a line, two points on the line,

the slope, and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept.
