Activities

Objectives

• Students will find the solution to a system of linear equations by hand.
• Students will use the TI-Nspire CX II to graph a linear system in two variables and find the intersection point(s).
• Students will create and graph linear piecewise functions.
• Students will try to make a connection with how to understand these topics in IB Mathematics courses and on their final assessments.

Vocabulary

• linear system                  

• piecewise function   

About the Lesson

Students will find the solution to a system of linear equations by hand. They will use the TI-Nspire CX II to graph a linear system in two variables and find the intersection point(s). Finally, they will create and graph linear piecewise functions.
