Promethean Flipchart: Algebra Nspirations: Linear Functions

In this program, internationally acclaimed mathematics educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, explores the nature of linear functions through the use TI graphing calculators. Examples ranging from air travel, construction, engineering, and space travel provide real-world examples for discovering algebraic concepts. All examples are solved algebraically and then reinforced through the use of the TI-Nspire. Algebra teachers looking to integrate hand-held technology and visual media into their instruction will benefit greatly from this series. Concepts explored: Standard form, slope-intercept form, point-slope form, solving linear equations Note: The download for this resources is the Promethean Flipchart.
