Transforming Linear Equations

Grade Levels

10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade, 8th Grade, 9th Grade

Course, Subject

Algebra I, Algebra II
  • Big Ideas
    Numbers, measures, expressions, equations, and inequalities can represent mathematical situations and structures in many equivalent forms.
  • Concepts
    Analysis of one and two variable (univariate and bivariate) data
  • Competencies
    Use algebraic properties and processes in mathematical situations and apply them to solve real world problems.

Rationale

How are changes to a linear function reflected in the equation and the graph?

Description

In this activity, students will use the Linear Transformer to manipulate given functions into new ones (perform transformations such as arithmetically combining, composing, and inverting commonly used functions, using technology to perform such operations on more-complicated algebraic expressions).

Students will understand the meaning of equivalent forms of equations.

Students will be able to judge reasonableness of the results of algebraic manipulations including those resulting from technology.

Students will need access to a computer to use the Linear Transformer.  The use of this tool is easy to learn.
