Interactivate: Standard Expectation

7 items total

Organization: Virginia Standards of Learning
Grade Band: Secondary
Standard Goal: Algebra II

The student will represent problem situations with a system of linear equations and solve the system, using the inverse matrix method. Graphing calculators or computer programs with matrix capability will be used to perform computations.

Impossible Graphs	Lesson: Teaches distinguishing between possible and impossible graphs of functions as well as causes of graphical impossibility.
More Complicated Functions: Introduction to Linear Functions	Lesson: Introduces the basic ideas needed for understanding linear functions.
Algebra Four	Activity: Students play a generalized version of connect four, gaining the chance to place a piece on the board by solving an algebraic equation. Parameters: Level of difficulty of equations to solve and type of problem. Algebra Four is one of the Interactivate assessment games.
Algebra Quiz	Activity: Test your algebra skills by answering questions. This quiz asks you to solve algebraic linear and quadratic equations of one variable. Choose difficulty level, question types, and time limit. Algebra Quiz is one of the Interactivate assessment quizzes.
Function Flyer	Activity: A more advanced version of Slope Slider, this activity allows the manipulation of the constants and coefficients in any function thereby encouraging the user to explore the effects on the graph of the function by changing those numbers.
Positive Linear Function Machine	Activity: Students investigate linear functions with positive slopes by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs.
Slope Slider	Activity: Manipulate a linear function of the form f(x)=mx+b using slider bars. Explore the relationship between slope and intercept in the Cartesian coordinate system.
