Title
Solving Problems with Equations, Ordered Pairs, and Graphs

Standard(s) of
Learning 8.14- The student will make connections between any two representations
(tables, graphs, words, and rules) of a given relationship
8.15 The student will

a) solve multistep linear equations in one variable with the variable

on one and two sides of the equation;
b) solve two-step linear inequalities and graph the results on a
number line; and
c) identify properties of operations used to solve an equation.
8.16 The student will graph a linear equation in two variables.

Key Vocabulary/
Concepts -Concept: Learn how to solve algebra questions by using equations, ordered
pairs, and graphs
Equation- Statement in which the value for y is given by manipulation of x or
vice-versa
x-axis- The horizontal axis on a coordinate-plane
y-axis- The vertical axis on a coordinate-plane
x-value- The line on the x-axis on which a point lies
y-value- The line on the y-axis on which a point lies
Ordered Pairs- The given x and y-values for a point in (x,y) format
Graphs- A coordinate-plane with an x and y-axis used to display equations and
ordered pairs

Materials
-SMART Board
-Note taking sheets (25)

Introduction -Equations, Ordered Pairs, Graphs

(Hook) Have students classify problems by the combinations of the equations,
ordered pairs, and graphs

Instructional Lecture
Activities/Strate Explain how to solve problems if they involve equations and ordered
gies pairs, equations and graphs, or ordered pairs and graphs

Work through problems the students classified during the

introduction

Demonstrate how to solve more examples using the concepts

previously taught
Accommodation
s, All students will have a calculator at their desk
If necessary

Closure Activity
Have students go back to their warm-up from the beginning of class and solve
the problems using the concepts taught

Follow-Up/
Homework Review Sheet, Study for SOL

REFLECTION
(TO BE COMPLETED I was teaching the lesson near the end of my time in the classroom for the
AFTER YOU TEACH)
day so I felt rushed. Additionally, I did not have a lot of time to prepare for the
lesson so I could not teach the material as well as I could have. Also, I should
have been confident in my problem-solving capabilities rather than relying on
the answer sheet.
