This includes the first two lessons on the Simplex Algorithm:

  1. How to implement the Simplex Method and why it works, referring back to graphical and algebraic approaches. It is unclear to many students why the Simplex Algorithm works, what theta values are and why you need to look for the most negative value in the last row. The primary objective of this lesson is to thoroughly explain all of this.

  2. How to implement the Simplex Method in 3D, showing first how it could be done graphically if we had the right software, then applying the Simplex Algorithm to the same problem.

Great resource. I haven't taught this topic before and there are few resources currently available. I used lesson 1 today and will use lesson 2 next week. Well worth the £3. Various versions are included. I used the PowerPoint, with the printed student sheet. The resource works through a linear programming example ( I printed the first empty graph sheet for the students so they could do that with me as a recap/introduction) and then uses simplex programming for the same question - and includes great linkage between the tables and graphs. A good way to start the topic. Also - the creator was very helpful in providing me with an additional version really quickly.
