We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Students solve equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate solving equations to a balanced scale. They add, subtract, multiply and divide on both sides to keep the scale balanced.

Learners differentiate between expression and equation by evaluating integers and observing the difference. They use the TI to see the steps to solve problems.

Students define and graph properties of linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students write systems of equations to represent functions. They relate linear equations to the real world.

Using Cabri Jr. students construct a circle and determine the equation of the circle they drew by finding the center and the radius. Students use the distance formula to derive the equation of their circle.

Help pupils to determine whether using square roots is the method of choice when solving quadratic equations by presenting a instructional activity that begins with a dropped object example and asks for a solution. This introduction...
