Interactivate: Standard Expectation

5 items total

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

The student will solve nonlinear systems of equations, including linear-quadratic and quadratic-quadratic, algebraically and graphically. The graphing calculator will be used as a tool to visualize graphs and predict the number of solutions.

Impossible Graphs	Lesson: Teaches distinguishing between possible and impossible graphs of functions as well as causes of graphical impossibility.
Introduction to Functions	Lesson: Introduces the basic ideas needed for understanding 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.
Conic Flyer	Activity: Manipulate different types of conic section equations on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph. Choose from vertical or horizontal parabola, circle, ellipse, and vertical or horizontal hyperbola.
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.
