This activity is perfect for a 15-20 time frame. Students have 6 problems to sort through. They must match a linear system in standard form to a corresponding graph and solution. 18 cards total. I use it after an initial introduction and then use the problems with non-integer answers to explain why other methods of solving systems (such as substitution and elimination) are useful.

Download includes 6 linear systems using the graphing method to solve. Problems begin in slope-intercept form and increase in difficulty to standard form. One answer is "no solution." I use this on the first day I introduce systems of equations. It can be used as a task-card in class activity. You can also differentiate this activity by assigning beginning problems to struggling learners and the end problems to more advanced learners. You can also use this as an assignment. QR Code prov

This download contains 8 linear systems solved by the graphing method. This set continues raising the level of difficulty, including answers of "no solution" or "infinite solutions". Problem set begins with slope intercept form of a line but most questions require students to graph in standard form. I use this on day 2 of teaching systems of linear equations by graphing. You can use this as a task card activity, collaborative group, jigsaw, differentiate by assigning certain problems to cer
