My students loved seeing the real world application of a system of linear equations.
Unable to use this. Not what I was expecting. I was looking for a menu type linear programming example to use to find cost or profit
Excellent resource.
Just what I needed!
Thank you!
thanks
I loved this activity, but it was a little too challenging for my level of students this year. It would be great with an honors class!
I am always on the lookout for real-life applications to what we are learning in math. This activity fit the bill. I am looking forward to using this activity in the fall.
