Examine the usefulness of matrices when solving linear systems of higher dimensions. The instructional activity asks learners to write and solve systems of linear equations in four and five variables. Using matrices, pupils solve the...

Put all that algebra learning to use! Using algebraic strategies, learners solve three-variable systems. They then use the three-variable systems to write a quadratic equation given three points on the parabola.

Round and round they go ... where they stop, only scholars will know. By writing systems of equations, classes determine the number of cars a roundabout can handle given specific constraints. Systems use up to six variables and become...

Young scholars solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students use elimination and substitution to solve for the point of intersection. They use graphing to see where the two lines intersect.

Can you justify that mathematically?  Help learners see the process of solving as using mathematical properties rather than a set of steps to memorize in the fourth module of a nine-part Algebra I series. The module contains six...

Ever wonder how a butcher creates the different types of ground beef? Young mathematicians explore the methods butchers use to create their desired ground beef quality. Given a combination of two types of meat with varying...
