As if solving equations with an x isn't tricky enough, now they add a y, too? A pre-assessment gauges the knowledge of your classes related to systems. They are asked to solve graphically and algebraically and to solve word problems.

Instructional Ideas

• Use the pre-test to set a baseline and guide future lesson planning, and use the same assessment at the end of the unit to show learning growth

Classroom Considerations

• Systems are likely a new topic at this level, so pupils may not be able to complete most of the pre-test
• Resource says to not use a calculator for some parts; adjust if needed to reach your goals
• Begins a seven-part series of lessons

Pros

• Uses multiple questions for each objective for pupils to show understanding
• Includes point totals as well as the point breakdown for each question

Cons

• Does not include problems with no solution or infinitely many solutions
