Access Point #: MAFS.8.EE.3.AP.8bArchived Access Point

Given two sets of coordinates for two lines, plot the lines on a coordinate plane and define the rise/run (m) for each line to determine if the lines will intersect or not.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify the solution to a system (i.e., find when the two lines on the same graph cross).
  • Graph a line on a coordinate plane.
  • Use manipulatives or graphic organizer to solve a problem.
  • Use substitution to generate values to graph a line.
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts, vocabulary, and symbols: +, -, ×, ÷, =, variable, equation.
  • Use the slope and the origin of the line, determine if the lines will intersect.
  • Select the solution of the equation algebraically using substitution.
  • Generate the solution of the equation algebraically using substitution.

Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 07/14
Cluster: Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
