High schoolers discuss the calculated risk example in Numb3rs about a businesswoman from a company that made its money trading in futures. They use a formula given by the teacher to compute the estimated value of an investment after...

Learners investigate properties of regular polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, your class will use a graphing calculator and parametric equations to construct regular polygons and investigate the relationship between the...

Students create different methods to analyze their data. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to make their...

Students rewrite word problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concept of equations and symbols to the real world. They graph their solutions on a graph and analyze it.

Pupils graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students perform transformation on linear equations. They identify the slope and y-intercept of each line.

Students graph quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students perform transformation on the TI calculator as they create a visual. They identify the vertex and intercepts of the parabola.

Students dilate functions using transformation. For this algebra lesson, students complete vertical dilation, stretch and shrink. They perform reflection across the x and y axis.

Students investigate the horizontal intercepts of functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify whether the factor of two functions results in a quadratic equation or not. They compare and contrast linear equations and higher...

Students analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...

Students examine how dance steps can be done with different qualities. students perform their dance movement pattern with their choice of movement qualities.

Young scholars investigate equations that are in the standard form of a quadratic equation represented as Y=ax2+bx+c. They factor the equations into linear factors to determine the x intercepts. The graph is also used to determine the x...

Students apply the concepts of air pressure, the Bernoulli Effect, and angle of attack to build their own model planes out of paper, plastic, wooden rods, and drinking straws.

Students develop their own orginal artwork that represents their own ideas about gender. In groups, they discuss and design a tableaux that shows society's view on gender over time. Using any item in popular culture, they discuss what...

Students create an original Cinquain (five-line poem) and choreograph movement to their poem, performing movement for class and video. This lesson addresses standards in the arts and requires a video recorder.

Students discover the conflicts that arose between the political parties over issues of foreign policy and economics. Using the Internet, they research the Alien and Sedition Acts and how they relate to the U.S. Constitution. They...

Students pretend the area they live in is subject to wind, waves and rain. In groups, they pretend they are a groups of meteorologists or geologists and are to report on the weather and damage that could occur there. Each group develops...

Second graders investigate how objects can be described, classified and compared by their composition. They recognize that the same material can exist in different states. Students verify that things can be done to materials to change...

Students complete activities for physical music analysis. In this physical music lesson, students read the biography for Lelavision musical sculptures, complete a sound and motion activity, and a making music activity. Students also...

Students use transformation to move the graph around. In this geometry lesson, students observe transformation of symmetry groups. They use the TI to move the sides of the polygons around and make predictions.

Young scholars evaluate rational functions. In this precalculus lesson, students make observations and define what makes a rational function and what makes a linear function. They use the Ti calculator to visualize the different graphs.

Students differentiate between the slope and the tangent of the horizontal. In this precalculus lesson, students examine slopes created by tangent lines. They observe the angle formed using properties of the unit circle.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Young scholars investigate the accumulation of drugs in the body. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on drug retention and assimilation. They use their data to predict the behavior and effects of drugs.

Students create nets of cylinders. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of cylinders and other solids. They show their understanding of three-dimensional shapes by solving problems.
