During the whole class discussions, a smart board will be used to provide interactive learning. This would be particularly useful on the first day of the unit when we are studying the graphing method. Using a site such as [|www.geogebra.com], we can visually determine whether two lines intersect at one point, are parallel, or are the “same” line. We can then use these visual finding to determine the characteristics of systems of linear equations.

Graphing calculators and laptops will be useful when students are working at their desks, either individually, with their partner, or in their cooperative learning groups. The calculators and laptops will be useful for working with the graphing technique. They are also useful if a student should decide to investigate solving systems of linear equations using matrices on their own.
