Classroom Considerations
- Graph paper is required to be able to graph systems to verify solutions
Pros
- Solving systems is presented as an extension of finding linear intercepts; building from this prior knowledge helps individuals see substitution as a known skill
- Clear, step-by-step solutions are offered for each example problem covered in the lesson
Cons
- An answer key is not provided for the warm-up exercises
