[|NASA: Linear Systems through Air Traffic Control Activity] [|NASA: Fly By Math] added by Julie H = These websites include an educator overview (first link), pre-activity videos, and a teacher copy & student copy of the problem sets (6). The second link has the resources, including an air traffic control simulator for the students to use. The NASA instructors suggested letting the students play with the simulator for 10 minutes or so before giving instructions regarding how to use it as the most effective method. = = = = = ==== Laws of Exponents added by lhardin====
