Instructional Ideas
- Create a classification activity by providing several equations to cut out; instruct learners to classify them as either having one, none, or infinitely many solutions
- Provide several opportunities where the individuals determine the coefficients by transforming the expression mentally
Classroom Considerations
- The goal of the lesson is to have pupils recognize the number of solutions without solving to find out what those are
- Seventh segment of a unit of 33
Pros
- Answer key for the problem set gives descriptions of solutions for the open-ended questions
- Highlights where students use the mathematical practice in the lesson
- Includes multiple worksheets, an assessment, and both PDF and Word doc formats of the material
Cons
- None
