Investigating Equations of Lines
High schoolers investigate linear equations as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to explore the equations of lines in slope-intercept form. The technology allows learners to manipulate the line and observe the changes in the parameters of...
Curated OER
Sequence Graphs
Investigate arithmetic and geometric sequences by using a graphing calculator to determine if a sequence is linear or exponential.

Exploration Sequence of Bounces
New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Approaching Limits
With the assistance of their Ti-84/Ti-83 Plus calculators, students develop a foundation for the limiting process as well as estimate limits from graphs and tables of values. They view how a function behaves as the input approaches a...

Math TODAY Challenge - New Color of Money
Pupils read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.
Curated OER
Comparing Exponential and Power Functions
Students compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus lesson plan, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base of less than one.

The Closer I Get To You
Pupils explore the law of reflection. Through experimentation and problem solving, they collect and analyze data pertaining to reflection. The data is plotted on a graph and formulas for calculating the x and y values are evaluated.

Say What You Mean!
Young scholars analyze data and identify the mean. In this probability lesson, students log data in the TI and construct scatter plots from the data. They identify properties of a scatterplot.

The Composition of Seawater
Pupils explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater. In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution. Pupils discuss why there is variation in ocean...
