Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson plan has scholars use...

I got a different answer, are they both correct? While working through modeling problems interpreting graphs, the question of precision is brought into the discussion. Problems are presented in which a precise answer is needed and...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...

Extend the concept of exponents to irrational numbers. In the fifth installment of a 35-part module, individuals use calculators and rational exponents to estimate the values of 2^(sqrt(2)) and 2^(pi). The final goal is to show that the...

Students explore the concept of systems of equations. In this system of equations lesson, students enter data into lists on their calculators about 100 meter dash times. Students plot the points using a scatter plot and perform a linear...

High schoolers solve inequalities problems. In this algebra lesson, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Students make mathematical argument using the concept of Limit. In this algebra instructional activity, student calculate the instantaneous rate of change from the linear graph. They use a TI-calculator to create a visual of the graphs.

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson plan, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an...

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

How do you identify the domain and range of the function? As learners find out it's as easy as creating a graph. They'll identify the domain and range of a relation from its graph, write symbolic expressions describing the relationship...

Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also identify the slope and y-intercept.

Learners graph the derivative of functions in this calculus activity. They use the TI to graph their functions and algebraically take the derivative of each function. They then create a visual and analyze the graph.

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Have your class find the domain and range for each function. Students graph equations using the TI. They find all the x and y values as they relate to the domain and range.

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

In this scatterplots and regressions worksheet, students solve 6 different types of problems related to graphing scatterplots and interpreting regressions. First, they create a scatterplot from the given data coordinates and then,...

Students find the slopes of linear functions. In this graphing lesson, students analyze linear equations and calculate the slope of the line. They graph a line given the slope and y-intercept.

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.
