Rita's Ice Problem
In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders calculate how many different choices they can create making their icy. The have a choice of 26 different flavors of ice and 5 different flavors of ice cream. There is a solution to this problem.
Curated OER
La Toteca- A Tropical Paradise
Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.
Curated OER
Integrating Functions
In this math worksheet, students find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.
Curated OER
The Corner Problem
Students explore the concept of the corner problem. For this corner problem lesson, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar triangles to...
