After solving many, many problems that required finding a and b of an exponential equation of the form y = aebt, we needed to review the basics. I found a tarsia puzzle on the web. It didn't include all the types of problems I wanted my precalculus students to review so I found a program [...]
Classifying Triangles Again, I'm re-creating the wheel, hoping to make it better. My students responded well to the doodle notes I created for my Transformations Unit. One commented, "I'm really understanding the material now. Honestly, your class was a little boring, but this chapter was much better." It's amazing how turning the tables on students [...]
Go to Desmos.com and choose Start Graphing. In the upper left, choose Add Item > table. Type your data in the table. Click on the wrench in the upper right to change the graph settings. Modify your x, and y values to reflect your data. Decide what type of equation the data represents. In the example [...]
Matrices and Systems of Equations You can use a matrix to solve a system of equations. There are many ways to do so. One of them involves finding the augmented matrix and performing row operations on that matrix using the Gauss Elimination method and the Gauss-Jordan Elimination method. Both will be explored in this chapter [...]
Google Maps gives you a way to measure distances on a map. If you right click on the map and choose Measure Distance, the first point you click becomes the starting point. When you click a second point, Google Maps provides a scale with the distance between the points shown in a box. This scale can [...]
