In this technology enhanced lesson plan, Math I students will be working on a task that allows them to create and solve a system of equation within the context of a real-life problem. This lesson plan illustrates how technology can be used to teach mathematics.

The North Carolina Math 1 Teaching Standard addressed by this task is:

Creating Equations.

Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

NC.M1.A-CED.3 Create systems of linear equations and inequalities to model situations in context.

The Common Core Mathematical Standards addressed by this task are:

CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1:

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.CED.A.2:

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.C.6:

Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables

Below, you will find my analysis of the task where I justify the choices I made when designing this lesson. You will be able to read why I believe this task promotes reasoning, as well as how the technological modifications support and enhance student learning
