Linear Functions. Algebra Nspirations
Description
Can algebra and digital technology help us understand how an airplane takes off and lands? Or how to analyze the data from studies of greenhouse levels in the atmosphere? What can we learn about the relationship between two variables, such as speed and time? In this program, internationally acclaimed mathematics educator Dr. Monica Neagoy explores the nature of linear functions through the use of graphing calculators. Concepts featured in the video include standard form, slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and solving linear equations. Lessons use real-world examples from engineering, construction, air travel, and space travel to help students discover and understand algebraic concepts. All examples are solved algebraically and then reinforced through the use of the TI-Nspire graphing calculator.
