Instructional Ideas

• Use the resource to supplement material for a unit on solving systems of equations
• Have each pupil come up with a puzzle problem using shapes, such as in Section 5.2

Classroom Considerations

• Learners should already be familiar with how to graph linear equations in the coordinate plane
• The fifth lesson of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series

Pros

• Same type of anchor problem is used at beginning and end of chapter, allowing learners to see growth
• Some lessons include challenge questions designed for advanced learners

Cons

• Does not include a formal summative assessment
