A tab set consists of separate sections or “chunks” of instruction that students access by clicking labeled “tabs”. Clicking a tab changes the content that students can see within the tab set area.
There are two types of tab sets used in Accelerate lessons--the horizontal tab set and the vertical tab set. Both forms work in the same way. The only difference is the location of the tabs: the tabs in a horizontal tab set appear across the top while the tabs in a vertical tab set are arranged down the left side.
The text that appears above a tab set should direct students’ attention to the tab set and also tell them what the tab set is meant to illustrate or show them.
Algebra Sample
There may be some inequalities with radicals that do not have a solution. In these cases, you will get to step 4 and the solution that you found does not check out. These inequalities have no solution. Follow along as we work out the solution to this equation:
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{2x} + 3 ≤ 1 }\)
Step 1: Isolate the radical.
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{2x} + 3 ≤ 1 }\)
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{2x} + 3 - 3 ≤ 1 - 3
}\)
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{2x} \cdot 5 ≤ -2
\cdot 5 }\)
\(\mathsf{ \sqrt{2x} ≤ -10 }\)
Step 2: Eliminate the radical using exponents.
\(\mathsf{ (\sqrt{2x})^2 ≤ (-10)^2 }\)
\(\mathsf{ 2x ≤ 100 }\)
Step 3: Isolate the variable.
\(\mathsf{ \frac{2x}{2} ≤ \frac{100}{2} }\)
\(\mathsf{ x ≤ 50 }\)
Step 4: Verify the solution.
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{2(25)} + 3 ≤ 1
}\)
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}\sqrt{50} + 3 ≤ 1 }\)
\(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5}(7.07) + 3 ≤ 1 }\)
\(\mathsf{ 1.41 + 3 ≤ 1 }\)
\(\mathsf{ 4.41 ≤ 1 }\)
Step 5: Verify the radicand of radicals with an index are positive.
Even though the index is even in this inequality, there is no need to move on to step 5, since the original solution does not check out. This inequality has NO SOLUTION.

Examples
Tab sets can be used in all subject areas to divide content across 2-5 small sections instead of presenting the content as one long scrolling page. Tab sets are particularly useful for "chunking" content into categories, steps, or examples of a concept if students will be asked to compare and/or contrast examples. (For illustrating steps in a process, a tab set can be more appropriate than a slide show if the steps are longer or more complicated than what would easily fit in a slide show--or if students will be practicing each step once it is presented.) Tab sets typically include one image and some text per section, with the image appearing to the right or left of the text.
