About This Kit

This FAST Success Kit is designed to help Grade 8 students master systems of linear equations before taking the Florida FAST assessment. All content is aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and fact-checked for accuracy.

Standards Covered:

MA.8.AR.4.1 - Given a system of two linear equations and a specified set of possible solutions, determine which ordered pairs satisfy the system.
MA.8.AR.4.2 - Given a system of two linear equations represented graphically, determine the solution.
MA.8.AR.4.3 - Given a real-world context, write a system of two linear equations and solve the system.

Key Concepts: Systems of equations, ordered pair solutions, graphing method, substitution method, intersection point, no solution (parallel lines), infinite solutions (same line)
