Solving problems on the TI graphing calculator can be quite easy. Students observe the properties of transformation of functions and create a formula for the transformation.

Learners study the concept of central tendency in this data collection for bar graph lesson. They collect data outside as instructed and organize it into a bar graphs, then they list in specific groups the labels that appear on the...

Teach your math lovers how to solve linear equations by graphing. Students identify pairs of coordinates and use it to graph a line and use the TI to graph and observe the line.

Mathematicians graph logarithmic equations. Teach your students how to identify the intercepts of logarithmic equations and tell whether the function is increasing or decreasing. They find the domain and range of each function.

Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

This problem is sure to get your young mathematicians thinking. The idea sounds simple: one equation, solve it as many ways as you can. This is meant to get at a deeper understanding of solving quadratic equations, including some more...

In the sixth lesson in a series of 21, scholars use NASA data to graph and interpret albedo seasonally and over the course of multiple years. This allows learners to compare albedo trends to changes in sea ice with connections to the...

In this graphing worksheet, students graph 10 equations using the following methods: slope-intercept form, x- and y-intercepts, or by using a table. Students check their work using a graphing calculator.

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

In this frequency worksheet, students investigate, frequency, box plots, and percentage using a package of M&Ms.  Copies of the actual correspondences with the Mars company are also included.

Don't give your classes the third degree. Use radians instead! While working with degrees, learners find that they are not efficient and explore radians as an alternative. They convert between the two measures and use radians with the...

Let units pave the way to success. A set of five questions in a helpful PowerPoint presentation highlights the SBAC Claim 1 Target C high school item specifications. It covers the use of units to steer solutions, identifying appropriate...
