Original Prompt

Create a lesson on solving linear systems by graphing using the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model, where students will independently analyze different system scenarios. Guide students from direct instruction through to independent practice with linear systems that yield one solution (intersecting lines), no solutions (parallel lines), and infinitely many solutions (same line). Include clear visual models for each scenario and scaffolded practice problems that progressively reduce sup...

This lesson focuses on solving linear systems by graphing, enabling students to graph linear equations accurately and identify their intersection points. The learning goals include understanding how to find the intersection points of two lines graphically and interpreting the significance of these points in real-world contexts. Key concepts discussed include systems of equations, solutions, and intersection points. Students will explore various scenarios, including systems with one solution (where lines intersect), no solution (where lines are parallel), and infinitely many solutions (where lines coincide). The lesson provides step-by-step guidance on graphing individual linear equations, encourages student engagement through guided practice problems, and includes a real-world application in comparing service plans. Additionally, emphasis is placed on precision in graphing and verifying solutions using different methods.
