Real World Systems of Linear Equations | Project Based Learning

Students will analyze systems of equations in the real world. INCLUDES: Note to Teacher Project Handout (PDF file & 100% Editable PPT file) Part A & B: (2 versions for differentiation) Students research the growth of a tree and write an equation to represent the growth. Then, they determine when their tree will be the same height as my tree, which was planted five years ago. They find their solution using the substitution or elimination method. Part C: Create a graph to show the system. Part D: Analyze the results. Part E: Create a visual of the tree and some facts about the tree. Answer Key: All 40 scenarios for the different growth rates has been calculated, including the possible solutions. Answers to all the analytical questions. Rubric (PPT file): 100% editable Student Sign-Up Sheet: Excel sheet for students to choose their tree and the growth rate Example Visual (PDF file): An example of Part E to show students.
