In this animated object, learners examine the design of a ladder circuit that provides manual control to a water pumping system. Students also study modifications to the circuit as the complexity of the system increases.
Learners follow step-by-step instructions for finding the lowest common denominator for a group of algebraic fractions and then enter their answers to three problems. Immediate feedback is provided. This activity has audio content.
How Adding Parallel Branches Decreases Total Resistance
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how resistance decreases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Simplifying Algebraic Fractions that Contain Addition and/or Subtraction
In this interactive object, learners follow step-by-step instructions for reducing algebraic fractions, which contain addition and/or subtraction, to their simplest form. This activity has audio content.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using the Addition or Subtraction Method (Screencast)
In a series of practice problems, learners use the addition or subtraction method to solve systems of linear equations, also called "simultaneous linear equations."
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Adding Fractions With Unlike Denominators (Screencast)
Learners follow steps to add fractions with different denominators. They also review fraction concepts, do a drag-and-drop exercise involving fraction terms, and add fractions with common denominators.
