LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To discover a method for finding the solutions of a pair of simultaneous equations

SUCCES CRITERIA: You will be able to find solutions to a pair of simultaneous equations

TODAY I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS DIRECTLY. IF YOU ASK ME A QUESTION I MIGHT ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION RATHER THAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

STARTER:

Problem 1

One day I went to a coffee shop and bought two coffees and 1 tea and was charged £1.40. Another day I went to the same coffee shop and bought 3 coffees and 1 tea and was charged £1.70

How much was the tea and coffee?

Problem 2

A different coffee shop (in France) charged me 1 day €24 for 5 coffees and 2 teas and on another day charged €16 for 3 coffees and 2 teas, How much was the tea and the coffee

LESSON: Use Screen 4 from this MyMthas Lesson to generate lots of different example questions for them to have a go at. Let them develop a method. Get students up to IWB to explain how they got their results

EXTENSION: Ex 19J page 421 of higher text book

PLENARY: Write down in Your text book the method you used to solve the equations
