Exploring Linear Equations
This activity uses the Transformation Graphing Application to explore the linear equation after entering data into lists and doing a statistical plot of the data.
The teacher should give a basic introduction to the TI calculator being used:
In the attachment are more student activities that can be used at the teacher's discretion.
The teacher should go over key strokes and keep asking good inquiry questions with writing prompts in journals or notes.
Handouts can be used as homework or performance activities.
The teacher can give any of the student activities as a final performance activity or can give groups separate activities to present to the class.
