In order to investigate local linearity, students graph the function on the TI-calculator and zoom to observe the change in slope on the line. They incorporate technology to visualize these problems.

Learners calculate the position, distance and velocity using functions in this calculus lesson. They investigate horizontal motion through the derivative of functions and use the TI to create a visual of their function.

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus lesson. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus instructional activity. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to...

Students investigate the fundamental theorem of calculus. In this calculus instructional activity, students derive the fundamental theorem of calculus. They differentiate between the first and second theorem.

Investigate velocity using Torricelli's Law! The class will have a blast solving problems involving velocity and their related equations. They create an equation to represent the flow of the water through a tank. Super helpful tips on...

Learners investigate the slopes and parametric equations. In this calculus lesson, students solve parametric equations with specific parameters. They relate lines and slopes based on the derivative of the equation.

Young scholars investigate functions and their transformations. They move absolute value functions around on the coordinate plane, and then define the transformation and plot the new graph. The table feature of the TI-calculator is used...

Students investigate the relationship of triangles with its sides and angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students create visual on the graphing navigator as they study triangles. They move the sides around to create...

Students investigate the interior angles of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, students create the formula to calculate the angles inside a triangle. They observe the total sum of a triangles angle on the navigator.

Students investigate properties of parabolas. For this algebra lesson, students identify the different paths of a parabola. They use the navigator to make observations of the parabola.

Learners investigate properties of logarithmic function as they add, subtract and multiply logarithms. They graph and analyze the graph for exponential equivalency.

Students explore circles. In this algebra/geometry lesson plan, students discover the formula for the area of a circle, as they investigate the ratio of the area of a circle to the radius^2.

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 measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

D-Day, also known as the Normandy Invasion, was a true turning point for the Allied forces and one of the most successful campaigns of World War II. After researching the factors that contributed to the campaign's success, high schoolers...

While the layout of the lesson is not very detailed and the link to the PowerPoint is no longer valid, there are some great exercises to examine the role of nitrous oxide in the environment. For middle level learners, the resource listed...

If your future physicists know how to construct simple circuits, include resistors, and use a multi-meter to measure voltage, then you might employ this lesson on Ohm's law. Each lab group investigates the relationships among...

Choosing from a list, researchers investigate topics that range from the women in the American Civil Rights movement to the quest for equal rights in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although the plan is not detailed, a link to a PBS site that...
