Resource type: In-Class Activity Time Required: 30 minutes Content: Critical thinking/ concept development Materials: graph paper DESCRIPTION: Students will be presented with two different gas stations, and will have to come up with equations to determine the price of gas at each.

The equations will be graphed in order to see the "break-even point", and this will be followed by a discussion of methods for finding solutions to systems of equations.
