solve simultaneous linear equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques including using digital tools
Elaborations
-
investigating situations involving simultaneous linear equations in context (such as multiple quotes for a job, or profit and loss) and solving the equations graphically, giving solutions in everyday language (such as ‘break-even point’ or ‘point to change providers’ for the job)
-
describing the solution of simultaneous equations within the context of the situation
-
using the algebraic methods of substitution and elimination, with and without the use of digital tools, and identifying which technique is the most efficient for a given pair of equations
-
associating the solution of simultaneous equations with the coordinates of the intersection of their corresponding graphs
-
investigating the strategies inherent in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children’s instructive games, for example, Weme from the Warlpiri Peoples of central Australia, and their connection to strategies to solve simultaneous linear equations in 2 variables
