Students use concrete models (algebra blocks) to demonstrate their processes for solving quadratic equations. They apply the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to simplify algebraic expressions and to solve quadratic...

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Students investigate graphs and their asymptotes. In this precalculus lesson plan, students examine the numerator and denominator of their rational functions. This helps them identify where and when the graph will cross its asymptote.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

High schoolers get up close and personal with principles of motion. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze acceleration data on amusement park rides. High schoolers use CBLs to collect data in this lesson.

In what ways can you transform a graph? An engaging video answers this question as it covers reflections, translations, and stretches of graphs. To test their knowledge, individuals complete a set of problems to apply this knowledge.

Learn to identify the properties of parabolas. Students define parabola as the locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line. Also, interpret the equation for a parabola in vertex form and gain a visual...

High schoolers use an interactive website or cd rom to graph equations. The lesson plan is not very clearly written. The use of the website is essential or the educational software that can be purchased from the Prentice Hall publisher.

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson.

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

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...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

In this rational exponents activity, students solve ten multiple choice and two free response math regents exam questions.  The solutions are provided.

Horses need exercise, too. Scholars create linear equations to model the perimeter of exercise fields for horses. They finish by solving their equations for the length and width of the fields.
