Graphing Linear Equations on the TI
Learners graph linear equations on the TI calculator. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite equations in the slope intercept form and use the calculator to graph their problem. They work together to interpret the graphs off of the TI.
Curated OER
Weather
Second graders study the basic components of weather. They construct a thermometer and anemometer to measure temperatures, precipitation, and wind speed. In addition, 2nd graders discover how to find these components on weather maps.
