Math Standards• 8.EE.C.8b Solve systems of two linear

equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection.

•  • 8.EE.C.8c Solve real-world and mathematical

problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.

Vertical Alignment• While using the Vertical Progression

Guide– you identified the vertical alignment of the targeted standards.

• Discuss your findings with your table group– modify your original if needed.

• Choose one implication to share with the whole group and write on a sentence strip.

ReflectionDelve & Dialogue

What is the value of reviewing the vertical alignment?

?

How can you turn two equations with two variables into one equation with onevariable?

Table Talk

Prepare an example to share out.

What is one way to use substitution to solve a system of equations?

I can solve real-world and mathematical

problems leading to two linear equations in

two variables.

Stacking Cups

• Concrete – for conceptual understanding

• Graphic – when students are ready to move beyond concrete representations

• Abstract – solving the problems with numbers and symbols.

Math Literacy

Rationale“All of us who are stakeholders have a role to play and important actions to take if we finally are to recognize our critical need for a world where the mathematics education of our students: draws from research, is informed by common sense and good

judgment, and is driven by a non-negotiable belief that we

must develop mathematical understanding and self confidence in all students.”

NCTM’s Eight Mathematics Teaching Practices

Instructional Shifts

Jot down your thoughts about…

How do you plan continue to

implement these shifts?

Ink Your Thinking

Mathematical Practice Standards

Students who are math literate

demonstrate these

practices.

Mathematics Teaching Practices

Provide a framework for strengthening the teaching of mathematics

Represent research-informed learning principles

Results from two decades of knowledge of mathematics teaching

Embody a core set of high-leverage practices that promote deep learning of mathematics.

(Principles to Actions, 2014, p. 9).

Mathematics Teaching Practices

1. Establish mathematics goals to focus learning.

2. Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving.

3. Use and connect mathematical representations.

4. Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse.

5. Pose purposeful questions.

6. Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding.

7. Support productive struggle in learning mathematics.

8. Elicit and use evidence of student thinking.

Mathematics Teaching Practices

• Discuss the following in your group:What is the big idea of your teaching practice? What does this look like when implemented in

a classroom?What connections to previous trainings do you

notice?

• Read and review your assigned teaching practice.

Whole Group Discussion

• As each group shares out, record your observations on your Interactive Agenda.

• Consider the following: Big idea of each practice Implications for teacher support Your own noticings and wonderings

Think about it…

Clip #1•What teaching practices do you notice in the clip?

•How is implementing that practice beneficial to students?

•What teachers come to mind that consistently engage in the practice(s)?

Summary

• Things you might consider:What will we do differently as a result of

implementing these practices?What are our next steps as we implement

these practices?What are you still wondering about?

Our Challenge

Our Challenge

School gardens are becoming a normal trend. Students are learning about the possible negative side effects of chemicals. Many farmers are exploring better ways to grow nutritional crops without adding external and possibly dangerous chemicals. What is the best soil mixture to grow plants?

Similarities and Differences

Solving Equations vs Balancing Equations

Extension of the Learning

Conduct an Investigation

1. Choose a seed

2. Set up two containers – regular soil and a mixture of fertilizers added to the soil

3. Allow exposure to sunlight

4. Record the growth over 6 weeks

5. Graph and analyze data in math class
