Students are given the opportunity to visualize and interact with concepts they have already learned, specifically algebraic equations and solving for unknown variables. Students construct a balancing seesaw system (LEGO Balance Scale)...

A complete CCSS Grade 8 Mathematics course that includes interactives in every lesson, plus videos, hands-on activities, and questions with immediate feedback. Every lesson also has specifically chosen 'Related Modalities' that teach the...

Students will solve systems of linear equations.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students how using matrix multiplication can lead to solving real-world problems. In this situation, a painting is missing and the probability of travel betweek five cities...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students a real-world application to matrices and matrix operations. Framed in the context of a stolen painting which the thief may hide at different warehouses, students...

In this activity, students use Computer Algebra System (CAS) tools to find intersections of linear and non-linear equations. They confirm their answers by graphing the equations on the calculator.

This Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity encourages students to investigate addition, subtraction, and multiplication of matrices. They find the inverse of a matrix. Students also solve a set of linear equations by using matrices.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students develop the conceptual understanding of how to identify functions as linear or nonlinear and contrast their properties from tables, graphs, or equations.

In this activity, students apply what they have learned about weighted averages, isotopes, and systems of equations to a new situation - coins in a sealed container. They learn some historical information regarding the composition of...

This resource presents information about the mathematical model of forces on bridges. Examples of a classroom activity are provided. The resource also involves using matrices to solve systems of equations.

In Spanish. Practice how to solve system of equations graphically with this interactive activity.

Learners explore the Algebra II topic of matrices. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the determinant of 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 matrices. The activity includes examples with detailed solutions.

The Tippy Tap hand-washing station is an inexpensive and effective device used extensively in the developing world. One shortcoming of the homemade device is that it must be manually refilled with water and therefore is of limited use in...

This Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity encourages students to perform basic arithmetic operations on matrices, and solving a set of equations using CAS.

This activity uses geometric examples to illustrate the method of elimination to obtain a Cartesian equation using the Computer Algebra System CAS tool.

Is it any wonder that students are suspicious? We lead, sometimes drag, them through Algebra I insisting they must follow the order of operations. We make them learn the "hard way" of doing an assignment one day only to show them the...

Students can use TI 73 calculators to explore equations that create parallel and perpendicular lines. Teacher will use the screen capture feature of the Navigator system to display students graphs and equations to discuss observations to...
