Human Coordinate Plane, Using the Distance Formula
Pupils write the distance formula to solve equations for finding the distance between 2 points. In this distance formula lesson plan, students also write sentences explaining why their formulas would work.
Curated OER
The Swinging Pendulum
Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Translating Parabolas
High schoolers make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.
Curated OER
Exploring Arrangements of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Cubes
Learners construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.
