In this using a bar graph to solve word problems instructional activity, students choose and analyze data to problem solve. Students solve six problems.

Learners explore the concept of parabolas by collecting quadratic data on a bouncing ball as it is falling using a motion detector. They plot the data and determine the equation of the quadratic in vertex form, then determine the values...

In this calculus activity, 12th graders determine the areas bounded by curves and the volume of the solids of revolution. The two page activity contains a combination of ten multiple choice and free response questions and is to be used...

In this calculus worksheet, students sketch a curve using a given function. They take the derivative of a function and graph it. There are 10 questions.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Are you rooting for your high schoolers to learn about rational exponents? In the third installment of a 35-part module, pupils first learn the meaning of 2^(1/n) by estimating values on the graph of y = 2^x and by using algebraic...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Who knew you could cover prediction, histograms, fractions, decimals, data collection, and averages (mean, median, and mode) all with a bag of M&M's®? Here's a fantastic set of worksheets to help you make candy a mathematical journey...

Connect end behavior to previous learning. Pupils connect finding the end behavior of rational functions to finding end behavior of polynomial functions. The 13th segment in a 23-part unit starts with finding the end behavior or power...

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Scholars investigate transforming parabolas.  In this transforming parabolas lesson, they take the parent graph y=x^2 and transform it by shifting left, right, up, and down and shrinking and stretching. The class finds maximums,...

This exam touches upon every topic within the typical first year biology course.. A broad variety of question styles give high schoolers every opportunity to show what they know. Why start from scratch when a comprehensive final exam is...

Learners make predictions and draw conclusions from given information as they learn the meaning of probability in this vocabulary-rich, integrated activity that presents a variety of teaching strategies to motivate and reach...

Students create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet. They chart the number of each gift given day by day from the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." They create a bar graph and a circle graph from their data on the spreadsheet.

Young scholars graph linear equations on the TI calculator. For this algebra lesson, students rewrite equations in the slope intercept form and use the calculator to graph their problem. They work together to interpret the graphs off of...

Learners use the relationship between volume and surface area to construct a box out of a piece of paper that maximizes volume using a table and by using graphing and calculus techniques.

Students graph the slopes of a line using the intercepts. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the properties of a curve slope. They find the limit and use a graping calculator to graph their lines.

In this negative numbers worksheet, learners use the TI-83 calculator to compare the value of negative numbers. Students explain in short answer format how they used the calculator to determine their answers.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use a graphing calculator to determine the regression equation of the given data, graph polynomial functions, factor polynomials, and determine the quotient and remainder in polynomial division....

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Learners draw triangles on their graphing calculators using the Cabri Junior application. In this graphing calculator lesson, students follow step by step directions to create triangles on their calculator. They identify the type of...

Learners identify the slopes of a line. In this algebra lesson plan, students calculate the slope and intercept of a line. They graph their lines using a TI calculator.

Students receive a miniature pumpkin and proceed through several stations to measure a variety of physical properties. The data is entered into a data sheet and the mass and volume measurements are used to calculate density. They also...

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 instructional activity gives...
