Lesson Plan

Illustrative Mathematics: The Intersection of Two Lines

Curated by ACT

The purpose of this task is to introduce students to systems of equations. It takes skills and concepts that students know up to this point, such as writing the equation of a given line, and uses it to introduce the idea that the solution to a system of equations is the point where the graphs of the equations intersect (assuming they do). This task does not delve deeply into how to find the solution to a system of equations because it focuses more on the student's comparison between the graph and the system of equations. Aligns with 8.EE.C.8.a.
