Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus lesson. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it relates to the...

Using the TI-89 calculator, students explore the statistical, graphical and symbolic capabilities of the TI-89.  Students investigate topics such as solving systems of equations, finding inverse functions, summations, parametrics...

Differentiate between calculus concepts. The beginning of a helpful calculus resource begins with a short review of functions and moves right into limits to define derivatives. The six-chapter resource continues with applications of...

Pupils identify the multiplicity of exponents as they graph polynomials. They write equations for a function given the zeros of the function and work backwards from solving equations.

Arcsine will be better understood and applied through prediction the number of petals on a rose curve using polar equations. Students relate rose curve to siusoidal functions using the Ti navigator.

Students identify the end behavior of polynomial functions. For this algebra lesson, students graph different polynomials functions and find a correlation between exponents and function behavior. They identify the effect the leading...

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Students repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides. 

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.

Young mathematicians solve problems with polynomials. As they graph and analyze polynomial functions, learners define constant and finite, and determine the relationship between the constant set of differences and the slope of a linear...

The concept of sine and cosine is explored in this lesson where students graph sine and cosine graphs using a transformation application on the graphing calculator.  Students change the coefficients for the amplitude, period,...

Teach your class about various approaches to solving the problem of maximizing the area of a rectangle space with a fixed perimeter in the context of a farmer's dog pen. Then, they complete a worksheet independently to summarize the...

Learners explore estimated and exact results for derivatives, tangent lines, implicit differentiation, and symbolic differentiation. The lesson provides examples with solutions and practice problems. 

In order to investigate local linearity, young scholars 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.

Students solve several differential equations. In this calculus lesson, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

In this Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity, students use the statistical, graphical, and symbolic capabilities of the calculator to make it a powerful tool for investigating and developing mathematical concepts. Includes teacher...
