Linear Systems (Substitution & Elimination)
Provided by: Skew the Script |Published on: October 6, 2022
Videos Grades 9-12
Synopsis
- This resource applies algebraic lessons on linear systems to determine whether it is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective to own an electric vehicle rather than a gas vehicle.
- Students watch a step-by-step video, answer guided questions, and solve problems using interactive graphing tools to learn how to construct a system of equations, estimate values with a table or graph, and solve the y=mx+b equations using the substitution and elimination methods.

Teaching Materials
Positives
- There are guided notes for students and an answer key for teachers.
- This resource includes online interactive tools to graph, create tables, answer questions, and create and solve equations.
- Teachers can make a copy of the Google form to collect responses to reflection questions on the activity.
Additional Prerequisites
- Teachers and students need to create a free account to access some of the materials.
- Although outside of the scope of the lesson, you could include information about alternative transportation-related climate solutions (such as public transportation) and the possible social implications of producing a vehicle, many of which are difficult to measure in economic terms.
Differentiation
- This resource includes free guides on how to use the resource in different classroom settings, including in-person, online, and hybrid settings.
- Teachers are also given access to the data used in the resource, which more advanced students could work with to solve other questions.
- This resource can also be used in economics classes during lessons about cost-benefit analysis and in civics classes during lessons about policies aimed at reducing the effects of the transportation sector on the climate.
