Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

Pupils use calculators to work independently to discover the rules for working with exponents. The lesson requires the use of a TI-nspire handheld and software.

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

Don't think negatively about exponents. Young mathematicians dissect a fictional conversation between pupils trying to evaluate an expression with a negative exponent. This allows them to understand the meaning of negative exponents.

Ninth graders identify the different laws of exponents. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders write the rules of exponents and use them to solve problems. They use the product, quotient laws to solve problems.

Students investigate the Legend of the Tower of Hanoi and complete mathematical problems related to the legend. They play the Tower of Hanoi game online in order to discover the number pattern involved. They solve problems using the...

Learners explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Learners use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Students analyze, discuss and memorize the properties of logs. In this calculus lesson, students apply the rules of logs while playing a timed game to see which group can write the equations correctly. They walk away from this lesson...

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.

Ninth graders discuss the real number system and its' properties. In this algebra instructional activity, 9th graders discuss rational, irrational, closure, real numbers and the distributive property of algebra. They solve problems using...

Students subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. For this advanced subtraction lesson, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the rules...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of area and volume. In groups, they work together to build models of square centimeters in which they are given no instructions. To end the lesson, they record the dimensions of each model...

Students discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl reasoning to...

Young scholars solve one step linear equations. For this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

Put out by Texas Instruments, this instructional activity 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...
