Young analysts examine changes in the nutria population, vegetation density, and marsh area over time in the wetlands of Louisiana. They import data and use the TI-73 Explorer to graph and analyze the effects of nutria on marsh loss.

Here is a TI-Navigator™ activity that allows students to review the concept of factoring and solving quadratic binomials, including a connection to graphical solutions. They enter a number such as -2 using the minus key and not the...

Explore the concept of, and use the Ti-Nspire to, convert complex numbers into polar form. Then practice graphing complex numbers in the polar coordinate plane.

Get out your TI-nspire graphing calculator and explore polynomials. Learners determine where a given polynomial are increasing or decreasing, find maximums, minimums, and zeros of polynomials, and discuss end behavior of polynomials....

Used along with data collection devices, the EasyData Application for the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 calculator allows learners to use real data to learn math and science. Statistics, curve fits, and integrals are used to analyze the...

Learners solve linear equations. By observing the graph of each side of an equation using the TI-nspire graphing calculator, your class gains insight into solutions, as well as balancing equations and transforming linear equations....

Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

Texas Instruments and Glencoe/McGraw-Hill have put together a full lesson to help you instruct your math class. Using the textbook, a TI-83 calculator, and attached the PDF learners will solve systems of equations and state decimal...

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this instructional activity focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion...

Those graphing calculators can be tricky; good thing Texas Instruments has devised a lesson plan on how to use their TI-Nspire calculator to graph functions. Kids investigate functional notation as they graph ordered pairs in the form...

Learners will differentiate between inscribed and central angles in this geometry lesson. They answer questions dealing with circles as they relate to inscribed triangles and angles. This assignment includes a printable worksheet.

In need of some algebraic fun with real world implications?Learners use ordered pairs, a table of values and a scatter plot to evaluate the validity of several real world data sets. The class focuses on  dog ages in human...

High schoolers differentiate lines and angles using betweenness in this geometry lesson plan. They differentiate angles and lines using Cabri Jr. and analyze the data and make conjecture.

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Students complete fraction word problems using TI-Explorer Calculators.

Learners investigate concept of matrices through iteration in this probability lesson. They investigate probability by creating a lesson based on a famous painting. This assignment contains extensions to the...

In this negative numbers worksheet, students 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.

Using a number line on the floor made from masking tape and manipulatives, learners observe a demonstration of the addition and subtraction processes. After completing several worksheets, they solve three-term problems using calculators...

"Step functions" are sometimes used to describe real-life situations. This extensive lesson with many practice examples demonstrates two such functions: the Greatest Integer Function and the Least Integer Function. The commands on the...

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Learners analyze linear functions in this algebra lesson. They explore the meaning of slope and the slope-intercept form of a line as they investigate the effect changing parameters on the graph of a linear function.

Through exploration of linear programming through graphs and equations of inequalities, young scholars relate linear programming to real life scenarios, such as business. Graphing and shading is also part of this exercise.
