We know when students are just beginning their study
of algebra, the basic concepts can be difficult to grasp. These activities
are written for teachers to use in their basic algebra classes.
|
1. Estimation y=ax
Find the equation that best fits the data.
|
|
|
2. Rate (Slope)
Now, find the rate of change for these lines.
|
|
|
3. Graph y=mx+b
With the graph and equation linked, change one and the other
also changes.
|
|
|
4. Intersection on the x-, y-axis
Find the y-intercept and root of a line using the ClassPad.
|
|
|
5. Slope-Intercept Form
Write the equation in slope-intercept form by examining the
graph.
|
|
|
6. Intersection of two lines
See the four different ways to find the intersection of two
lines.
|
|
|
7. Parallel and Perpendicular Line
Using the Construct function, draw the lines and find the equations.
|
|
|
8. Slope and Point
Determine the equation when you know the slope and point.
|
|
|
9. Two Points
This time, find and graph the equation when you know two points
on the line.
|
|
|
10. Standard Form
Change the equation to the Standard Form to obtain more, useful
information.
|
|
|
11. Solve Equation with Absolute Value
Find the equation, both algebraically and with the Solve function.
