These word problems will elicit systems of equations for students to solve. The file includes an opener, three examples, a work sheet, and an answer key.

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).

Students have to know properties of lines as they apply to parallel and perpendicular lines. They also should have had exposure the point-slope formula. Students will go over teacher directed notes – included. Then they will be engaged with a worksheet that utilizes a MATHguide webpage that has been provided. The website will check students' abilities using the point-slope formula.
