Navigating through Algebra in Grades 9-12

by Maurice Burke, David Erickson, Johnny W Lott, and Mindy Obert

Published 1 March 2001

This book focuses on algebra as a language of process, expands the notion of variable, develops ideas about the representation of functions and extends students' understanding of algebraic equivalence and change. In the activities, students apply properties of functions by using median salary data, explore the meaning of equivalent equations and use recursive or iterative forms to represent relationships. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.

by Roger Day, Paul Kelley, Libby Krussel, Johnny W Lott, and James Hirstein

Published 1 January 2001

Approaching geometry through a transformational lens, this book concentrates on topics such as the use of transformations, coordinates and matrices and congruence and similarity. Activities that take students through geometric tasks require some use of technology, including interactive geometry software and a calculator or a computer with software that produces geometric images and graphs. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.
