First graders are introduced and practice using a calculator. Individually, they enter and complete simple addition and subtraction problems. After the answer is displayed, they identify the place value for ones, tens, and hundreds...

Math wizards begin the activity by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper techniques for...

Young statisticians use and interpret measures of center and spread such as mean, median, and mode as well as range. They use box plots to represent their data and answer questions regarding the correspondence between data sets and the...

Using a number line on the floor made from masking tape and manipulatives, learners observe a demonstration of the addition and subtraction processes. After completing several worksheets, they solve three-term problems using calculators...

Students examine the concepts of area and perimeter and how they relate to a rectangle. They find the largest possible area that can be enclosed by a fixed perimeter and complete a worksheet as well as create a table of all the possible...

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Students solve real-world problems related to medical careers. They use graphical representations as part of the problem-solving process and work with fractions, decimals, exponents, and metric measurement. A demonstration is included to...

Students use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a plane,...

Students are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Learn to solve functions by taking the derivatives. In this calculus lesson, students compare the graph of a derivative to that of the original function.

Young scholars write an equation from a story problem. In this algebra lesson, students solve liner equations they have created from a word problem. They read the problem and identify important words as they solve the...

Students write an equation from a story problem. In this algebra lesson, students solve liner equations they have created from a word problem. They read the problem and identify important words as they solve the equation.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson plan, students use Riemann Sums to find the area under a curve. They apply the boundaries of intervals as they solve for each area.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations.In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the roots of an equation using the quadratic formula. They graph and identify the properties of a parabola.

Learners investigate the use of the TI-Graph Link.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students explore the transfer of data from the TI-73 to the computer and vice-versa using the TI-Graph Link.
