Organization: Virginia Standards of Learning Grade Band: Secondary Standard Goal: Algebra II
The student will identify and factor completely polynomials representing the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, the sum and difference of cubes, and general trinomials.
Activity: Color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that have the same remainder when divided by the number rolled, thereby practicing division and remainders, investigating number patterns, and investigating fractal patterns. Coloring Remainders in Pascal's Traingle is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Activity: Calculate the length of one side of an automatically generated right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem, and then check your answers. Pythagorean Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Activity: Learn about how the Pythagorean Theorem works through investigating the standard geometric proof. Parameters: Sizes of the legs of the triangle.
Activity: Calculate the area of a triangle drawn on a grid. Learn about areas of triangles and about the Cartesian coordinate system. Triangle Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
