How much land does a parcel hold? How much fertilizer does it take for a field of corn? Pupils answer these questions and more as they apply ratio reasoning and unit analysis. 

Students collect data using the CBL. In this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Students solve word problems using systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students use computer and graphing to graph and analyze their solution. They solve system involving inequalities.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations.In this algebra activity, students identify the roots of an equation using the quadratic formula. They graph and identify the properties of a parabola.

In this functions learning exercise, 11th graders solve and complete 18 different problems. First, they graph each equation on the graphs provided, making a rough sketch on a coordinate plane. Then, students predict what each graph will...

Students solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.

Students calculate their pulse rate and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

Students calculate the amount of minutes they get charged for each month. In this algebra lesson, students relate linear equations to talking on the phone and the cost to do so. They create graph to plot the cost and usage of the cell...

Students transform the square root function graphically.  In this transforming the square root function graphically lesson plan, students use their Ti-Nspire to change the a, b, and c values of th square root graph.  Students...

Fourth graders use two activities to draw four different conic sections. One activity is of a physical nature and one is traditional paper and pencil.

Students solve systems of equations with radical expressions. After reading real life situation, they translate the problem into algebraic expressions. As a class, students solve quadratic equations and inequalities by graphing and...

Learners solve equations by taking the derivative. In this calculus activity, students solve parametric equations implicitly. They use the TI-calculator to graph their equations.

Students describe, analyze and generalize relationships, patterns, functions using words. symbols, variables, tables and graphs.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Young scholars investigate scores as they relate to race. In this algebra lesson, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra lesson, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students play a game as the collect and graph data. they identify properties of their parabola and make predictions.
