Learners investigate relations in this algebra instructional activity. They graph the set of ordered pairs that determine a relation. Using a TI-83 Plus, your learners will enter the coordinates in a list, create a scatter plot, and...

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they...

Have the class learn about and make conjectures about a line intersecting a cubic.  For this making conjectures about a line intersecting a cubic lesson, students draw lines that intersect a cubic at three different points. ...

Learn how to evaluate the derivatives of polynomials.  Mathematicians find the derivative of a quadratic function and determine the value at a given value.  Students compare the slope of the secant line through two points with...

Statisticians take things to new heights using a set of height measurements. Students use TI-82 or TI-83 calculators to determine extreme values and the median for the data. They also construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the...

Students explore multi-step equations. In this pre-algebra/algebra I lesson, students use the TI-nspire computer algebra system to check the steps they used to solve multi-step equations and equations with variables on both sides.

Students solve quadratic functions. In this solving quadratic functions lesson, students determine the height of an object at a given time. Students determine the time at which an object hits the ground. Students answer questions...

In this adding up to 20 worksheet, students try to match each line of the rectangle to add up to 20 using any whole numbers they choose. Students have 6 blanks to fill in and 2 questions at the end.

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang instructional activity, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then...

Students investigate the TI-73 calculator.  For this middle school mathematics lesson, students examine the procedures for downloading and installing applications to the computer for the TI-73 Explorer. 

Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Math wizards begin the lesson by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper techniques for...
