Smartboard images






1) NAME and SAVE before making a NOTEBOOK presentation.
USE the FILE tab at the top LEFT.









The Smartboard software has a nice
place to store your special
IMAGES (using the PICTURE FRAME ICON
along the left side - DRAG or COPY-PASTE
these images into ->"My CONTENT")

HOW ABOUT STORING FREQUENTLY
used WEBSITE ADDRESSES?
The PAPER CLIP on the left is the
place for WEB ADDRESSES. Just
past the web address and SAVE
your latest Smart page.
The links will remain in the software
for all your future work.






-  The TOOL BAR can be placed at
the TOP or BOTTOM of the screen. - CLICK ON ARROW

-   THE POINTER makes CHOICES on the TOOL BAR
and also PICKS and GATHERS REGIONS.

-  The LEFT CLICK on the POINTER is usually used to GATHER:
Text, Pictures, Hand Written items,...
GATHERING a group of items can be helpful.

- After picking an ITEM,
by LEFT CLICKING on an arrow it
allows a number of OPTIONS:






SOLVING EQUATIONS THAT HAVE ONE VARIABLE
TO THE FIRST POWER ONLY. (LINEAR IN NATURE!)

1) Simplify both sides of the equation so that it takes a form:
Ax + B = Cx + D
2) Get all variables onto just one side of "="
This can be accomplished by subtracting either
Ax or Cx from both sides.
3) Now the problem takes the form:
Ex + B = D   or     B = Fx + D
4) We now want to get a variable term alone on just one side of "=".
The can be done by Subtracting B from both sides
OR D from both sides.
5) The form is now Gx = H
We now want to divide each side by G.
Thus, we now have x = H/G

ZERO vs. UNDEFINED SLOPE

Sometimes there is a confusion
between ZERO SLOPE and UNDEFINED SLOPE.
(Note: "Undefined" is probably the best
word to use for a VERITCAL LINE.
"No slope" is not as well accepted!)

How about a visual Mnemonic:
Zero: the "Z" has TWO HORIZONTAL SEGMENTS.
uNdefiNed: the "N" has TWO VERTICAL SEGMENTS.
