Instructional Ideas

• Ask each pupil to graph one system for a given value of the parameter

Classroom Considerations

• The class should be familiar with systems of equations, specifically when they have one, none, or infinitely many solutions
• Class members should understand parameters

Pros

• Includes a helpful answer key and teacher guide
• Denotes the areas of mathematics the resource covers

Cons

• None
