Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students learn the uses of the TI-83 calculator for statistical operations.

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Pupils will investigate trigonometric equations. In this trigonometry lesson, they explore solving equations using a TI-83 calculator and solve trigonometric equations by graphing each side of the equation as a function and locating the...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

A page right out of the Holt Geometry book. Use a graphing calculator and graph paper to explore transformations with matrices.  

Students investigate linear programming using the TI. In this algebra lesson, students collaborate and graph linear inequalities on a TI. They analyze their data and present it to the class.

Middle schoolers speculate on the better rate of pay: a dollar a day for 10 days, or a penny the first day, two pennies the second, doubling each day for 10 days. Start by listening to the story The King's Chessboard, by David Birch....

Students collect temperatures using a probe and examine data.  For this temperature lesson students complete an activity using a graphing calculator. 

Learners explore circles using a graphing calculator. In this circles lesson, students write the equation of a circle with a given center and radius length. Learners find the most appropriate model for each combination of data they...

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides. 

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. For this ordered pairs lesson, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the fish left,...

Your class can become linear equations masters, as they calculate the rate of change of a function. They observe different types of coordinates as they relate to a graph, then use the Ti-navigator to move the line around and draw...

Middle schoolers explore heat energy and how it is used to change the phase of matter, and discover that temperature does not increase or decrease until the phase change is complete. This extremely well-written plan is packed with great...

Equip your chemistry class with the tools to properly understand endothermic and exothermic reactions. Young chemists collect, analyze, and graph data to determine how the Law of Conservation of Matter is applied to chemical...

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...

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...
