Substitution+Method

Once upon a time there was a CREW... and they rocked like Carlton

We are going to go to Taco Bell to record this commercial and who are going to be the characters? So far we have a soft sheel taco plus a hard shell taco=a crunch wrap and above them we are going to put post it notes above them to represent the equationand then we will have two more food items and two more numebers to represent another equation and then we will have that sort of represent a system of equations.

I have an equation in my notes that will work for the food. We will put the numers and all other signs on post it notes in sharpie. The hard shell, soft shell will be x and y. The crunchwrap will be the point (x,y). I will put some of the script on here tomorrow during study hall.

Script: -(one person is going to have their math stuff out on the table and look frustrated) -Hey what's wrong? You look like you could use some help with that. What are you working on? -Math homework. This substitution stuff is confusing. Can you help me? -Substituition is so easy! I'll show you an easy way to do it. We can use food to help learn substitution. -Food? How is that going to help? -Just watch. I'll show you. (put the tacos and post-its in the 2 equations) You can use tacos for the x and y coordinates to make it more fun. -So tacos are going to help me understand math? -I promise. Just watch what I do and it will make sense.( explain how to solve for one of the variables in the equation using the food and equations.) -Oh so i just have to get an X or a Y by itself and solve for that, then plug that variable in and solve for it? -yep then you take that variable you got and plug it in the other equation and solve for it. Then you will have solved for X and Y and your have your intercept point. -Im so glad we came to Taco Bell. I had to relate this to something I knew well, like tacos. I'm sure Bailey Chris and Mark are going to want to do something funny at the end. And we can have bloopers and stuff too.

The equations we are using are: 2x+2y=16 2x+4y=24
