Choosing+the+best+method

- Basic mixture of problems...directions ask students to choose the best method, explain why it's the best choice, and solve/justify the solution.

I tried this activity last year for the first time...was looking for something slightly "higher level" dealing with choosing the best method to solve a system. I asked students to write systems with a given solution that would be best solved with (graphing, etc...) Then I asked them to explain why it was the best method and justify the solution, and write a situation for the system/solution.

Choosing the best method in word problem form.
