Graphing Calculator activities:
Level 1 – Using graphs and tables
System Match It!
You are given two graphs or a tables of 4 different x,y1,y2 value options and are asked to choose which correctly represents the given system of equations.
Level 2 – Using Algebra
What am I?
Silver level – You are given a system of equations in slope-intercept form and asked to classify system as consistent & independent, consistent & dependent, or inconsistent.
Gold level – You are given a system of equations in standard form and asked to classify system as consistent & independent, consistent & dependent, or inconsistent.
Balloon Ride activity
Silver level – you are given two equations in standard form and asked to choose the solution. Options are many solutions, no solutions, ordered pair #1, or ordered pair #2.
Gold level – you are given two equations in standard form and asked to choose the solution. Options are many solutions, no solutions, or you fill in the ordered pair answer.
