Activity goals
• Students will practice finding a solution to a
system of equations by graphing
• Students will solve systems of equations using
substitution or elimination.
Activity Description
• Groups of 2 will be formed based on
readiness level.
• Each pair will have two bingo cards and a set
of cards from which they will draw one at a
time and answer each prompt.
• Each student will show their work for each of
the cards drawn on a different sheet of paper.
This will be turned in at the end of the class
period.
• The game will end until both members win or
when the class is over.

• The next test in your

science class is worth
𝑥+𝑦 =1 100 points and has 29 𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 300
ቊ questions. Each ቊ
2𝑥 = 5 problem is worth either 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 0
2 points or 5 points.
Write a system of
equations to solve and
determine how many 2-
point and 5-point
questions there are.
