Program Areas

This activity allows the user to plot ordered pairs and linear inequality relations on the same coordinate plane. This activity would work well in groups of two to four for about 45 minutes if you use the exploration questions and 20 minutes otherwise.

Students can also use the site to learn fractions, do comparisons, create Venn Diagrams and practice other mathematics concepts. Great for the visual learner.

This activity allows students to practice solving algebraic equations using the additive inverse and multiplicative inverse properties. As the user solves the problem, the activity tracks each step, noting the property that was used and the number of steps used to solve the equation. There are three different levels of difficulty.

Students explore the concept of functions using function machines, data tables, and algebraic rules. They learn how inputs and outputs are related, identify patterns, and represent functions using words, tables, and algebraic expressions. Through collaborative activities and technology-based exploration, students develop foundational algebra skills needed for higher-level mathematics.
