This lesson plan culminates the unit with the Go Public phase of the legacy cycle. In the associated activities, students use linear models to depict Hooke's law as well as Ohm's law. To conclude the lesson plan, students apply they've...

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

In Spanish. In many applications in industry are situations which require maximizing or minimizing some functions that are subject to certain limitations. With this interactive activity you can learn how linear programming can solve...

In this activity, students use linear programming to solve problems involving maximum and minimum values. They use the Inequality Graphing application to solve linear programming problems.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson is best used as an extension to linear programming in which the solutions to the proposed problem must be integers. The Branch and Bound method operates on the optimized point,...

This activity will use linear programming and the Inequalz apps on the TI-84+ calculator to solve real world problems.

Use the Inequality application to solve linear programming problems.

This activity investigates the use of the Inequality Graphing App of the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus to solve a linear programming problem.

This lesson is designed to have students use linear programming to relate mathematics to the business world. Students calculate profits for a furniture business to prepare for the famous, semi-annual "Furniture Market" in North Carolina.

The lesson plan investigates how to use matrices to solve a complex linear programming problem. Educators can download printable version of the lesson in pdf format.

This site, which is provided for by the University of St. Andrews, gives a biography of mathematician George Dantzig, the man that introduced the concept of linear programming.

This site contains a downloadable tool that can solve up to 30 simultaneous linear equations in 30 unknowns.

This Northeast Parallel Architectures Center of Syracuse University site contains an example and a few exercises about Slope-intercept form in linear equations.

In this lab, students will be able to change the radius and the linear speed of a wheel. They can then see how each of these variables affects the angular speed. Students can also look at the relationship between angular distance and...

Students learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the...

Students are introduced to the "Walk the Line" challenge question. They are asked to write journal responses to the question and brainstorm what information they need to answer the question. Ideas are shared with the class (or in pairs...

Students conduct an experiment to study the acceleration of a mobile Android device. During the experiment, they run an application created with MIT's App Inventor that monitors linear acceleration in one-dimension. Students use an...

This lab demonstrates Ohm's law as students set up simple circuits each composed of a battery, lamp and resistor. Students calculate the current flowing through the circuits they create by solving linear equations. After solving for the...

This lesson plan introduces students to three of the six simple machines used by many engineers. These machines include the inclined plane, the wedge and the screw. In general, engineers use the inclined plane to lift heavy loads, the...

This lab is designed to help students discover the connections between the linear density of a string and the tension in the string with the speed of the wave along the string. The program can be set with six identical strings or six...

This challenge is designed to help students move back and forth from different circular motion ideas. These ideas include frequency, rpm, period, angular speed, linear speed, total distance and total radians.

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center, Syracuse University, provides a lesson on finding the distance between two points using the coordinates and Pythagorean Theorem.

This program was designed as a quick graphing program that students could use on a computer, tablet or smart phone when a more complex graphing program is not available. This program will let students plot up to 10 data points and then...

Students complete this Beer's Law activity in class. Students examine the attenuation of various thicknesses of transparencies. From this activity, students will understand that different substances absorb light differently. This can...
