This activity presents a real-world problem about an epidemic of influenza spreading through a city. Learners refer to a graph that shows the number of individuals infected in relation to the number of weeks that have elapsed since...

Twelfth graders rewrite word problems using equations. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders solve real world situation using the derivative. They solve problems on rate, and distance.

Twelfth graders solve problems using related rates. For this calculus lesson, the students solve word problems following 8 different key steps. They solve 4 problems related to the real world.

Twelfth graders solve problems by finding the maximum and minimum. For this calculus lesson, 12th graders analyze certain animals identifying their maximum and minimum points. They also use bubble as part of their real world application...

Algebra II classes solve problems relating to piecewise functions, step functions, and decomposition/composition of functions. They utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the lesson by including...

Young scholars take the derivative of a function. In this calculus instructional activity, students define slope fields and what they are used for. They relate slope fields to the real world.

Students use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to solve problems. In this calculus lesson, students use the TI to solve the graphing porting of the problem. They practice graphing functions and discuss their place in the real world.

Students investigate Limits using a graphing calculator or TI. In this calculus lesson, students solve limit problems through modeling and relation to the real world. They use correct notation and solve problems involving more than one...

Students define limits as it related to trig functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students take the derivatives of trig through specific patterns. They apply the formula for these special functions of sine, cos and tan in real world...

Students solve equations by taking the derivative. In this calculus lesson, students solve parametric equations implicitly. They use the TI-calculator to graph their equations.

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

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...

Young scholars investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Learners calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.
