Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to explain how the constant of proportionality (k) in a direct variation equation relates to the steepness and direction of its graphical representation.
Students will be able to demonstrate the visual effect of changing the constant 'k' on the graph of a direct variation by manipulating its value within the simulation.
Students will be able to analyze the relationship between input and output variables in a direct variation as the constant 'k' is adjusted, interpreting how this constant defines their proportionality.

Solve Two Step Inequality [Timed Unguided]
A simulation where learners solve two-step inequalities by applying inverse operations step by step, with interactive feedback and number line visuals to show solution sets and reinforce inequality rules.
