Organization of Topics in Algebra 1
Topics in Algebra 1 is organized in textbook fashion with chapters and sections arranged in
table-of-contents form.
Chapters Sections
1: Number Sense 1: Integers
2: Rational Numbers
3: Real Numbers
2: Linear Equations 1: Using Graphs & Tables
2: Using Algebra
3: Linear Functions 1: Slope with Grid
2: Slope Using Coordinates
3: Slope Rate of Change
4: Slope-Intercept Form
4: Linear Inequalities: 1-Variable 1: Using Graphs & Tables
2: Using Algebra
Note:
Chapters can be installed and deleted individually. This provides flexibility, allowing calculators to have only the applications
students currently need.
Each section in the application contains three subsections.
•
The
Overview
presents definitions and concepts for teachers to use in class discussions and
for students to use for study and review. They contain animation and real-world examples.
•
The
Observations
show concepts or examples, followed by
Write An Observation
screens.
Students are asked to write in the space provided on the Student Worksheet their
observations about the content presented.
Screens entitled
Did you know
display additional
information and facts about the current concept.
•
The
Activities
include interactive activities that reinforce the concepts covered in the section.
Many of the activities are in the form of games. Students can practice calculating equations
with integers, rational numbers, and real numbers, or they can find the equation of a line. The
application checks answers, gives a score, and provides students with the correct answer if
they are unable to answer a question correctly. In the Linear Functions chapter, students can
play a game called Screen Cross where they link to each other’s calculators and race to see
who finishes first.
