Education Technology
Students factorise and expand algebraic expressions including monic quadratic expressions; simplify algebraic products and quotients using index laws and apply the four operations to simple algebraic fractions with numerical denominators. They solve linear simultaneous equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques, explore the connection between algebraic and graphical representations of relations such as simple quadratics, circles and exponentials.

Year 10: Amazing Locus image

Standard ACMNA238

Solve problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines

Standard ACMNA237

Solve linear simultaneous equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques including using digital technology

Activity: Amazing Locus

Students are presented with a challenging problem and provided with the tools to help break it down to see the relatively simple, yet amazing, solution. The problem requires students to calculate gradients, gradients of perpendicular lines, the equation of a line given point and gradient and finally solve a set of equations simultaneously.

Year 10: String Graphs Part3 image

Standard ACMNA237

Solve linear simultaneous equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques including using digital technology

Activity: String Graphs Part3

This is part three of a four part series. In this activity students find the points of intersection between consecutive straight lines. (Simultaneous Equations). Students use a range of techniques: by-hand, graphically and using CAS. Students then formulate equations to summaries the consecutive points of intersection.

Year 10: Simultaneous Equatons Elimination image

Standard ACMNA237

Solve linear simultaneous equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques including using digital technology

Activity: Simultaneous Equatons Elimination

Students are provided with 10 pairs of equations to solve by elimination with the assistance of sliders and a pre-made template to make the process easier to understand. Reducing the number of steps makes the concept easier to understand so that focus can be cast upon the coefficients in the equations.

An extension option includes solving equations with three variables including the 3D representation of the successive results as the intersection of planes, lines and points.
