Illustrative Mathematics: A Rei Pairs of Whole Numbers
The premise of this problem is simple - students must find three whole numbers with three different sums when they are added in pairs. To do this, they set up a system of linear equations in three variables. Aligns with A-REI.C.6.

Alex: Imaginary Numbers? What Do You Mean Imaginary?
Is it any wonder that students are suspicious? We lead, sometimes drag, them through Algebra I insisting they must follow the order of operations. We make them learn the "hard way" of doing an assignment one day only to show them the...

Texas Instruments: Intersection of a Line With a Parabola
In this activity, students use Computer Algebra System (CAS) tools to find intersections of linear and non-linear equations. They confirm their answers by graphing the equations on the calculator.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: A Rei Pythagorean Triples
This task has two separate goals: the first is to solve a pair of equations, one quadratic and the other linear. The second goal is to observe that a point that lies on a circle gives rise to a Pythagorean triple. Aligns with A-REI.C.7.
Wolfram Research
Wolfram Math World: Line
This MathWorld site gives Euclid's definition of a line, properties of lines, common terminology, and algebraic representations of lines and their distinctive parts in a cartesian system. The site then goes into detail of different line...
