Lesson Plans and Worksheets
I have used several hands-on lessons that have helped to engage my students in topics that may have been mundane to them. I do not have a text book or resources for many of the topics that I teach, and it is nice to find so many resources in one place.

Find teacher approved Differential Equations lesson plan ideas and activities
Twelfth graders solve problems using differential equations. In this Calculus lesson, 12th graders analyze data regarding the spread of a flu virus. Students use the symbolic capacity of the TI-89 to develop a model and analyze the spread of the disease.
Students solve differential equations. In this differential equations lesson, students use their TI-89 calculator to explore slope fields and find solutions to a differential equation. They graph their solutions.
Students use their TI-89 calculator to compute derivatives and anti-derivatives. In this differential equation lesson, students follow detailed directions to complete one table of derivative/anti-derivative values. They compute the anti-derivative of one equation and find the derivative of one equations.
Students identify and familiarize themself with the features and capabilities of the TI-92 Plus calculator. They also find symbolic solutions of differential equations and general solutions or to find particular solutions of initial-value and boundary-value problems. Finally, students use TRACE to find numerical values for this phase-plane graph.
Students calculate the length of time to cool a hot drink. In this data analysis and differential equations activity, students use a TI-89 or TI-92 calculator to find the length of time for a hot drink to cool to room temperature. Readings are taken regularly and a scatter plot of data is graphed.
Students explore how to graph differential equations using a TI calculator. In this math lesson, students solve systems of equations using the calculator. Students explore graphing and use it to interpret experimental data.
Twelfth graders investigate differential equations. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders are presented with a step-by-step illustrated review of the process used in solving differential equations and an application problem. Students solve differential equations and application of differential equations.
Twelfth graders explore differential equations. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders solve differential equations graphically, numerically and analytically.
Twelfth graders investigate slope fields. In this Calculus activity, 12th graders identify whether a slope field appropriately reflects a differential equation by matching. TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus and appropriate programs are required to complete the activity.
Twelfth graders explore differential equations. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders explore Euler’s Methods of solving differential equations. Students use the symbolic capacity of the TI-89 to compare Euler’s Method of numeric solutions to a graphical solution.
