Graph and Classify

equations · classifying systems by graphing

To classify systems by graphing [8.EE.C.8b].

Graph and Classify is a Grade 8 systems-of-equations game focused on solving by graphing and interpreting the result. Students graph two linear equations, identify the point of intersection when one exists, and classify the system as consistent dependent, consistent independent, or inconsistent. The scoring distinguishes between graphing accuracy and classification, so both parts of the reasoning matter.

Use it for small-group review after students have learned how graphs reveal the number of solutions to a system. Students can compare graphs and explain how one intersection, no intersection, or the same line leads to each classification.
