MATHguide

Examples, problems, solutions, and web resources are provided. Students are asked to translate word problems into systems of inequalities and profit functions (objective functions). Online resources are included for differentiation, asynchronous learning, learning for those who miss classes due to absences.

This activity is about teams of two students solving eight basic level linear programming problems from start to finish, which includes converting words to inequalities, graphing linear inequalities, finding points of intersection with lines, determining the feasible region, calculating profit at each vertex of the feasible region, and reporting the maximum profit. This activity makes available access to six instructional videos that detail the processes of solving linear programming problems.

This activity asks students to 1) provide reasons for all the steps of a verification problem and 2) solve several trigonometric equations by filling in empty space. This activity provides the necessary structure for accomplishing these types of problems. There is also access to numerous instructional videos and interactive quizzes. The activity as well as the interactive quizzes can be useful for openers/closers (bell-ringers).

This addresses how to use a profit function (a two-variable objective function) within the broader context of linear programming. It has students practice converting feasible regions into systems of inequalities, finding vertices of feasible regions, and using profit functions to determine maximum profit values. A partial answer key is made available as well as access to six instructional videos that tackle all the steps with linear programming problems.

This MATHguide resource contains access to a lesson and two interactive quizmasters. The lesson requires the teacher to go over one or two class examples, using Socratic questioning techniques. Then, students will use one interactive quizmaster related to the gas laws to do two problems. Next, students choose four different science areas to get their next four problems. The MATHguide quizmasters will check students for accuracy and allow them to change their solutions. The website checks th

This packet contains tips, examples, partially filled examples, a worksheet (including guided practice problems), and a solution set. Students see how conjugates are used to handle division problems that involve complex numbers. Access to an online video is provided, too.

This set of activities is designed to prepare students for the multiple steps and rigors of linear programming. Example regions are provided for the teacher and student pairs. Also a worksheet is also provided.

This online learning opportunity provides a matching system to assist students who are learning how to simplify trigonometric expressions. When students believe they are correct, they use the online interface at MATHguide.com to check their solutions. Students are able to use their cell phones to access the interface. The MATHguide.com interface provides the answer key.

This packet contains an opener, an example with which the teacher can use, and an exercise sheet to solve inequalities by method of graphing. The graphs involve absolute value and quadratic functions. The packet includes access to math videos for flipped or differentiated learning.

This packet addresses solving proportional inequalities or rational inequalities. There is a brief activity, two examples, and a worksheet.

This packet contains a class opener (review of factoring), and alternative online MATHguide opener lesson/quiz, examples, and a worksheet. This packet includes access to an online instructional video and interactive quiz from MATHguide, which can be used for a flipped classroom and/or differentiated learning.

This activity has students match graphs with functions. Students determine domain, asymptotes, end behavior, and behavior at x-values that are vertical asymptotes (values exclusive to the domain). Access to a video and a dynamic quizmaster is made available to the teacher and the students. To stretch learning and gain higher order thinking, the material includes three challenge problems. Students are given clues and have to sketch a rational function.

This activity is a scavenger hunt (or trail) that contains problems that deal with: operations on complex numbers, quadratic formula, graphing complex numbers, calculating the modulus, and simplifying radical expressions.

This packet contains an activity, a two-tier worksheet, answer keys, and access to online MATHguide lessons, videos, and interactive quizzes. Students first work on algebra skills when simplifying operations on expressions containing 'i.' Next, students are told that i-squared is -1. They then clean up their expressions to gain final solutions. The breaking up of the process by allowing students to work on algebra and then i-squared substitution helps slower learners lighten the burden of the

This worksheet contains basic, intermediate, and advanced problems. It also provides free online support via lessons at MATHguide.com.

Options: 1) Students watch a thorough video that explains matrix multiplication or 2) the teacher runs through some examples on matrix multiplication. The video is preferred because it contains dynamic graphics, textboxes, and thorough explanations. Next, students work on the given worksheet, possibly within a two-person group format.

This worksheet includes an opportunity for students to do their own unique system of equations problems and then have them checked for accuracy using MATHguide.com. This provides students with immediate feedback and takes the assessment burden off the teacher.

This is a support tool to assist students who are learning how to calculate powers of imaginary values. Visual and kinesthetic learners are best served with this resource.
