The key features of this series include: * Guided applications that are interdisciplinary and can be done as an in-class group activity. * All keystrokes are clearly shown. * Dynamic footage and animations bring math to life. * Math concepts are developed clearly, making this series an ideal supplement to an Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 class. Algebra Applications: Inequalities In this episode of Algebra Applications, two real-world explorations of inequalities are developed: - Hybrid Cars. With the increasing demand worldwide for cars, the cost of gasoline continues to rise. The need for fuel-efficient cars makes hybrids a current favorite. An examination of the equations and inequalities that involve miles per gallon (mpg) for city and highway traffic reveals important information about hybrid cars and those with gasoline-powered engines. Students use the Graphs and Geometry features of the TI-Nspire. - Floods in Venice. The city of Venice is slowly sinking into the Adriatic Sea. So what does a city whose streets are full of water do about flooding? Venice experiences a great deal of flooding, and with the expected rise of sea levels over the next century, this ancient city is in peril. Through a series of inequalities, students analyze the impact of flooding, rising sea levels, and sinking have on this grand, ancient city. Students use the Lists and Spreadsheets and the Program Editor features of the TI-Nspire.« less
