Scientific Calculator Teacher Resources

Learners explore mean, median, and mode as they model mathematics in real-world problem situations. The lesson requires the use of the TI 30X IIS.

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

By mounting a light bulb on a stand and a PV cell on another, physics apprentices experiment with the angle of incidence. Their goal is to determine the optimum angle for collecting solar energy. The use of a scientific calculator...

In this matter exam, students answer 80 multiple-choice and short-answer questions on atomic structure, atomic bonds, and equations related to energy spectra. A scientific calculator is recommended. A student's answer sheet and an answer...

Students demonstrate use of an Emission tube power supply, a diffraction grating, and a scientific calculator to determine the different wavelengths of light.

Fifth graders use a scientific calculator to practice finding equivalencies They discuss the possible uses for the scientific calculator. They experiment with other basic functions using the calculator.

Students solve equations by graphing. In this algebra lesson plan, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

In this 2-day lesson plan focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board....

For this chemistry worksheet, learners answer 74 multiple-choice, short-answer, and problem-solving questions on various chemistry concepts.

Instruct youngsters how to convert from one unit of measurement to another. This basic skill is useful in science courses as well as in math courses. Learning check slides are included to help viewers practice solving these types of...

The calculator has an interesting way of displaying numbers in scientific notation, but don't let that confuse your pupils! A lesson designed to give learners practice with scientific notation and calculators provides several practice...

Scientists and engineers in every field use scientific notation. The Socratica video explains what scientific notation is and why people use it. Then, it offers examples of how to convert a number into and out of scientific notation....

Your algebra learners discover that exponential functions, with a base larger than one, outgrow linear functions when the inputs increase sufficiently. Their analysis includes using a graphing calculator to produce tables.

All too often stores give coupons for an item, but when you go into buy it, the item is on discount.  The store won’t take the coupon if the discount is used. So what do you do, use the coupon or take the discount? This activity...

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help young...

Students explore the realms of measurement. In this math lesson plan, students analyze and solve problems in which rectangles with identical perimeters are compared to maximize or minimize area. This lesson plan can be extended for...

Every topic under the sun is covered in this New York State Regents High School Examination. With an earth science focus, participants answer 85 questions about the solar system, geologic time, rocks and minerals, landforms, and more! An...

This un-scaffold summative assessment tasks learners to use the height of a bouncing basketball, given the data in graph and table form, to choose the model that is represented. Learners then use the model to answer questions about...

How do dilated line segments relate? Lead the class in an activity to determine the relationship between line segments and their dilated images. In the fourth section in a unit of 16, pupils discover the dilated line...

Seventh graders determine if a "lucky charm" will increase their chances of winning a game. Students calculate the experimental probability of each player in a game. They observe and collect data from each activity. Students compare the...

Aspiring astronomers solve problems involving mixed units of the same attribute, including time, money, length, and area. They convert large numbers into scientific notation, then compute and compare ratios to explain why drawing...

The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...

Looking for a quick introduction or review for area formulas?  Terminology and formulas for the area of squares, rectangles and triangles is presented. Connections with exponents and the Pythagorean Theorem are demonstrated.
