Snail Races with Systems of Linear Eauations
Arden and Melissa were eating lunch outside and noticed eight snails moving along the ground. The two girls talked and joked about the snails racing and created a story for them. Use the snail races to learn more about systems of linear equations.
Students build on what they know about linear equations to discover new ideas with TWO lines.
Students will learn about one solution, infinite solutions, and no solution.
Includes:
-Standards and Instructions (Picture included)
-First race:
One solution: different rates and different y-intercepts
-Second race:
One solution: different rates and the same y-intercepts
-Third race:
No solution: Same rates, different y-intercepts
-Fourth race:
Infinite solution: Same rates, same y-intercepts.
-Extension:
Questions about all the lines
