Practical experiments for learning how to solve systems of linear equations by means of the numeric method of table refinement, the graphical method of intersection point determination, and the algebraic methods of Gaussian elimination and substitution. Also covers the educational concepts of visualisation and the scaffolding method. Instructions are given for solving systems of linear equations with integral, fractional, and algebraic coefficients. Degenerate systems are also discussed.

Users with limited experience of DERIVE can easily follow the instructions. This also helps one become more familiar with the many useful features of DERIVE.

The experiments may be performed with teacher guidance, or for self-study.
