Language+and+Assessment+Tasks




 * The learning task is through a demonstration that will allow students to manipulate linear equations. Before they complete the demonstration, in previous lesson they would have learned about slope, how to graph a line, and how to solve linear equations. With that prior knowledge students will be able to take two linear equations and solve for them at the same times using systems and through graphing. With that new academic language will be developed and add to what they already know. When students are given the opportunity to manipulate equations themselves and make their own conclusions and assessments themselves, they are prone to remember things. With that being said, when the students are then introduced to the vocabulary they will be able to make the connections between the features that they noticed and the terminology that connects with it. This will discovery will support student learning in hopes that students will be able to recognize the differences in the types of linear equations that they could get in a system. **


 * As for assessment, students will need to know and recognize the different types of linear systems. Through their discovery, they will already know what to look for and with the association to the new vocabulary they would learn in the lesson, students will be able to complete such an assessment. This will continue to increase their knowledge of functions and recognize that they are not just limited to being able to solve one single linear equation but a system that could consist of two equations. This new knowledge would then lead to the evolution of a systems with three linear equations. **
