Euler's Method Introduction
Young mathematicians define and use Euler's method to solve problems in this calculus lesson. Learners visualize graphs and solve differential equations. They create these visuals on the TI calculator.

Euler's Method
Learners identify Euler's method of graphing in this calculus activity. They approximate values of a function and check their work using EM. They also differentiate equations at an exact point.

e, pi, and Exponential Functions
Students investigate e, pi and exponents. For this calculus lesson, students define constants and non-constants using, pi, e and exponents as an example. They use the TI to work the problems in this lesson.

Interest and the Number e
Mary, Mary, quite continuously, how does your money grow? Uses examples to examine the difference between simple interest and compound interest, and to take a look at different rates of compounding. Learners explore what would happen as...

E, Pi, and Exponential Functions
Students discuss the difference between y=x^2 and y=2^x. They listen as the teacher defines "e." Students receive an information sheet on "e," as well as a history sheet on pi. They solve equations involving exponents and "e."

"A Slice of the Cone"
Here is a set of lessons that explore conics in a number of different ways. Starting with modeling how a conic is produced by the way a plane cuts the cone, to solving complex word problems, algebra learners progress through a series of...

Orbital Bliss
Most young mathematicians are aware that the planets don’t orbit the sun in a circle but rather as an ellipse, but have never studied this interesting feature. This resource looks at the planetary orbits in more detail and helps learners...

Is there Treasure in Trash?
More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...
