Math
Concepts to be taught:
8.EE.8 Systems of linear
equations can also have
one solution, infinitely
many solutions or no
solutions. Students will
discover these cases as they
graph systems of linear
equations and solve them
algebraically.
Students graph a system of
two linear equations,
recognizing that the
ordered pair for the point
of intersection is the xvalue that will generate the
given y-value for both
equations. Students
recognize that graphed
lines with one point of
intersection (different
slopes) will have one
solution, parallel lines
(same slope, different yintercepts) have no
solutions, and lines that are

the same (same slope, same
y-intercept) will have
infinitely many solutions.
By making connections
between algebraic and
graphical solutions and the
context of the system of
linear equations, students
are able to make sense of
their solutions. Students
need opportunities to work
with equations and context
that include whole number
and/or decimals/fractions.
Students define variables
and create a system of
linear equations in two
variables
8.SP.1 Bivariate data refers
to two-variable data, one to
be graphed on the x-axis
and the other on the y-axis.
Students represent
numerical data on a scatter
plot, to examine
relationships between
variables. They analyze
scatter plots to determine if
the relationship is linear

Concentrate on literary
elements when reading
passages in math,

(positive, negative
association or no
association) or non-linear.
8.SP.2 Students understand
that a straight line can
represent a scatter plot with
linear association.
Line of Best Fit
8.SP.3 Linear models can
be represented with a linear
equation. Students
interpret the slope and yintercept of the line in the
context of the problem.
8.SP.4 Students understand
that a two-way table
provides a way to organize
data between two
categorical variables. Data
for both categories needs to
be collected from each
subject. Students calculate
the relative frequencies to
describe associations.
