Topic 3.5 & 3.6: Linear Programming

Students explore inequalities to determine the optimal solution to maximize a profit for a company. In this linear programming lesson, students discover how to graph inequalities and how to determine the algebraic representation of a...

In this linear programming worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different word problems related to programming. First, they define the variables in each problem and write a system of inequalities. Then, students graph the...

In this algebra worksheet, learners calculate the maximum and minimum of a shaded region. They identify the boundaries and their vertices's. There are 2 problems.

Explore methods for solving linear systems with your classes and introduce learners to using matrices as a viable method. Scholars are able to recognize situations where matrices are the efficient method of solving. Application...

This video doesnÕt actually show you how to solve a linear programming problem, but it does define the different pieces involved in linear programming. This video would make a good introduction, and the problem presented can be solved...

Explore linear programming on a website game. Partners solve a real-world problem by setting up an objective function and a linear inequality. They graph their results on chart paper and also using a calculator before presenting their...

Let the learners take the driving wheel! The class solves systems of linear equations and applies the concepts of systems to solve a real-world situation about parking cars and buses. They then use calculators to create a visual of their...

Place the pies in a line. Pupils create a graph of a system of linear inequalities to represent the number of pies a bakery can make. Learners analyze the vertices on the graph to determine the number of pies they can bake without...

Through exploration of linear programming through graphs and equations of inequalities, students relate linear programming to real life scenarios, such as business. Graphing and shading is also part of this exercise.

Class members connect engineering with an understanding of linear programming using a technical resource. Scholars learn about linear programming (linear optimization) and how it applies to engineering design in the first of two modules....
