Students accurately assess their own income taxes using actual tax forms. They read and fill out the proper forms.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

Learners investigate the use of credit cards. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate the interest rate of credit cards and how to stay debt free. They identify pros and cons of credit cards.

Learners use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to solve problems. In this calculus lesson plan, students use the TI to solve the graphing porting of the problem. They practice graphing functions and discuss their place in the real world.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

How much energy does it take to light a room? Class members calculate the total wattage it takes to light the classroom. Through calculations, responsible scientists determine the cost of energy for the year, then figure out...

Introduce your class to to the remaining three simple machines-- the lever, pulley, and the wheel-and-axle with a plan that includes the three different types of levers in the discussion of levers. The lesson plan continues with the...

The more you know, the more you can learn. Scholars apply the double angle and half angle formulas to determine trig values based on known values. They use an interactive that provides sine and cosine values to aid calculations.

In this data learning exercise, students convert measurements to significant notation and determine the number of significant digits. This learning exercise has 4 fill in the blank and 2 short answer questions.

Show your students how to make their work easier. The first lesson in a series of 10 introduces the class to work and the way simple machines can be make work easier. The simple machines scholars can find in everyday items are...

Nobody can say no to puppies, so lets use them in math! Your learners will take puppy birth weights and organize them into different graphs. They can do a variety of different graphs and detail into the problem based on your classroom...

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

What is that out in the water on the horizon? Teams work together to study the coastline using maps to determine the best and worst locations to place an offshore wind farm. The teams then build a scale model wind farm to see what it...
