Students explore money management skills and economics thru a creative project where students earn "money" for their assigned "jobs." They keep track of their income and expenses in a transaction record and explore the Excel money...

Sixth graders discover Pi.  In this discovering Pi lesson, 6th graders measure the diameter and circumference of various circular objects.  Students record their measurements in a table.  Students discuss how Pi relates to...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Ninth graders create graphic calendars from printed sources.

Fourth graders investigate one planet, enter information into a database, and print the database sorting for each of the attributes.

Students calculate how many quarters are in a $1,000 bag (after learning the dollar value of filled coin bags). They explain their problem-solving strategy using pictures, numbers, equations, and/or words.

Pupils build a stack of pennies as tall as possible, recording the number of pennies they are able to stack before the tower falls. Then, sharing answers, they determine the average number of pennies that could be stacked.

Fifth graders have the opportunity to gather information themselves on Fibonacci and on the occurrence of Fibonacci numbers in nature. They divide up into groups of 2 to 4 to research.

Learners analyze data using bar graphs and the TI in this statistics lesson. They investigate quick polls and graph the data using different properties of statistics. This assignment requires a TI Navigator.

Learn how to identify the diameter and circumference of a circle. Then, collect data on a circle and relate it to the diameter and circumference of a circle. Last, plot data and find the line of best fit.

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....

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 identify the ratios of different triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the similarity and differences of triangles. They use the navigator to move the sides of the triangle around.

Using a TI Navigator to drag quadrilaterals around to create different shapes, learners learn how to draw midpoints in their quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using the properties of quadrilaterals. 

Investigation of a nomograph teaches young scholars to determine the rule of a function by examining the input and output values.  Students use a nomograph on their Ti-Nspire to determine the function rule.  Young scholars make...

Mathematicians are introduced to Cramer’s Rule and use it to solve three systems that have one solution, no solutions, and an infinite number of solutions.  Students use TI-Nspire to graph the systems to verify their answers and...

Learners explore the concept of quadratic equations.  In this quadratic equations lesson, students find the roots or zeros of quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.  Learners give examples of functions with 2 real,...

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 identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus lesson, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

Have your class create parallel lines. Students will learn how to identify the different angles created by a parallel line cut by a transversal. Then, they identify and name similar and different angles.

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

Your mathematicians solve problems using geometric series in this pre-calculus lesson. They divide a unit square into very small pieces and identify the reasoning behind the sum of a series being less than one.

Seventh graders locate and write creatively about different places and their cultures. They identify the physical, economic, social, political and cultural characteristics of selected regions in the Eastern Hemisphere. Finally, 7th...

Learn to calculate the nth term of a sequence defined by an algebraic expression. They examine geometric sequences and series, relate geometric sequences to their explicit forms, find the partial sums of a sequence in a table, and...
