If a Tree Falls (PublishView Example)

You have all heard the joke, "If a tree falls in a forest, will anyone hear it?" In this lesson, we explore the algebra to a falling tree and answer the question, "If a tree falls in your neighborhood, will it land on your car or house?".

Rational Number Line

Use the number line to compare the different rational representations, then move on to the second document, in which students learn the four operations using visual approaches. They then get to consolidate by estimating position on the number line, and calculating using the four operations in a guided tutorial quiz.

Solving Simultaneous Equations

The two interactive tutorials in this document take the user step-by-step through the methods of solving linear systems of equations in two variables by both substitution and elimination methods. Have the systems randomly chosen, or enter your own, then follow the directions. Because this uses keyboard input, this document is not supported by the Player, but can be downloaded and run locally.
