Double the dog ears, double the fun. Five problems provide increasing challenges with non-linear growth. Topics include dog ears, family trees and population data, and geometric patterns.  

Maximize a profit with an understanding of geometric dimension. A real-world task challenges learners to design a pattern using three different brick shapes. The bricks are dedicated with a different donation for each shape, so part of...

This is an intriguing problem that brings together real-world data, technology, and mathematical problem solving. If visibility wasn't an issue, could you see from the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney, to the lowest...

Piece by piece ... dismantling a function can highlight interesting patterns. The task asks learners to slice functions in sections with the same vertical change. They then recreate the graph with these slices positioned horizontally....

Collaborative groups examine the importance of energy resources on quality of life by researching different energy sources and alternative energy sources through data analysis. They make a comparison of different countries and cultures,...

Young scholars solve problems using the pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students complete proofs using the Pythagorean Theorem. They share their proofs and solutions with their classmates and family members.

Students play a micro-finance game. in this global economy lesson, students play a game that assists them in concepts of micro-finance. Students will also watch a business development video and explore additional resources.

Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles students will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).

Students explore the effects of chemical reactions when cooking. Using the Internet, they research enzymes and then mix jello. They examine their results and test enzyme activity by adding pineapple to the jello. Finally, they test...

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...

Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

In this Algebra II lesson, high schoolers explore the connection between the factored form of a quadratics and the zero of a function. Students use a graphing calculator to verify factoring numerically and graphically.

Learners investigate quadratic equations as they use a CBR to collect and analyze data regarding a bouncing ball. Pupils explore different methods for determining the equation of the parabolic path including quadratic regression and...

High Schoolers investigate the question of whether or not the area of square can be trisected. In this lesson, they use geometry software to answer the questions and determine what conditions are necessary to the three regions to by equal.

Learners create and analyze slope fields. For this calculus lesson, students create a visual of differential equations. They use the Ti Navigator to create slope fields.

Students explore what butgeting means. In this mathematics lesson plan, students determine that certain things need to be part of a budget like food and clothing by answering real-life types of questions on whether one should save money...

Students listen as the teacher tells the story of Sisyphus rolling the stone up the mountain. Students prepare two batches of jello, one with fresh pineapple, and one with canned pineapple. While the jello is setting, students work on...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this lesson. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine the maximum for...

Students examine the difference between profit and nonprofit organizations. They identify careers that are available in each sector as well. They develop their own questions and interview people who are in those careers.

Students examine a water bill from their household and examine it to find out how much water is used each month. They read their home water meters at the same time of the day for seven days and then construct a graph using their data.

Students investigate a phenomenon known as the cancer cluster. Students determine potential cancer clusters given real data and support their findings using mathematical calculations. Students Create a graphical representation of the...

Students study conservation and how cities obtain their water.  In this water lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation and draw a picture of the water cycle.
