Summary

This unit develops algebraic techniques in the solving of simultaneous equations and inequalities.  With an emphasis on excellent presentation and explanation, graphical methods for solving linear simultaneous equations are considered in the first lesson.  This understanding is then developed by using algebraic methods for solving linear simultaneous equations; both substitution and elimination.  The complexity of the manipulation needed is developed through the lessons, leading ultimately to students setting up and solving all types of linear simultaneous equations.  The unit then moves on to focus on inequalities, representing inequalities on a number line.  Inequality notation is used to specify an error interval.  Linear inequalities are solved, with solution sets represented on a number line and with integers identified that satisfy an inequality.

What people say...

“
”

The lessons were easy to use and fitted into the time available.

The lessons are a fantastic starting point for non-specialists teaching maths for the first time. The material is covered, with conceptually sound explanations and probing questions embedded in those explanations.
