Math scholars recognize place value and practice writing numbers in different forms, such as expanded notation, decimals, and improper fractions. They complete exercises that include creating models for fractions and decimals and...

In this math worksheet, students analyze two vector fields. They tell which of the vector fields is the scaler field for the given function. Students draw solution curves to match the differential equations represented in the illustrations.

In this math worksheet, students draw a graph of functions on a polar graphing system. They graph two functions by first plotting them on the vertical axis as a function of a given angle, then by plotting them at a radial distance from...

Why is "ambulance" written backwards on emergency vehicles? Young geometers apply principles of symmetry to translate words written backwards. See if your school or district subscribes to Jobland, where you can view a clip that explains...

Students compare graphs of weather occurrences. For this environmental lesson plan, students will being using the website to gather weather related information for a certain time period. The students will then graph the data that will be...

Students take a closer look at U.S. intervention in Mexico. For this 20th century history lesson, students examine primary documents to consider why the United States entered the Mexican War and then write DBQ essays on the topic.

High school social studies teachers addressing the crisis in Darfur could use elements of this plan to increase social studies vocabulary and research skills. It includes a page of lecture/discussion notes, instructions for creating...

How is a stereotype defined, and what are some mechanisms we can use to combat negative stereotyping? Your young historians will discuss how and why stereotyping occurs, as well as consider the roots of modern conceptions of...

Middle schoolers who are about to read the chilling tale, The Lottery, do some writing beforehand. They are asked to write how their lives would change if they won a huge lottery jackpot. Then, they read the short story, and will be...

Rainbows can teach us about the visible light spectrum. Learners observe multiple items that clearly display a rainbow to develop better connections. The lesson then explains wavelength using a rope to make waves.

Young scholars examine the genetic relationships of different organisms. In groups, they discover the importance of genes and how different amino acids show various evolutionary relationships. They use an online database to continue...

Students investigate the volume of a solid.  In this calculus lesson, students use integration to find the volume of a solid generated by a region, the Orion crew module. 

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus lesson. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it relates to the...

Pupils identify the multiplicity of exponents as they graph polynomials. They write equations for a function given the zeros of the function and work backwards from solving equations.

With the assistance of their Ti-84/Ti-83 Plus calculators, young scholars develop a foundation for the limiting process as well as estimate limits from graphs and tables of values. They view how a function behaves as the input approaches...

Pupils, with the assistance of their TI-84 Plus / TI-83 Plus calculators, distinguish meanings from right, left and symmetric difference quotients that include rate of change and graphical interpretations. They utilize symmetric...

High schoolers, with the assistance of their TI-84 Plus / TI-83 Plus calculators, explore and assess the connections between an accumulation function, one defined by a definite integral, and the integrand. They summarize that the...

Using TI-89, mathematicians explore and investigate Riemann sums to estimate the area under the graphs of intervals by drawing and illustrating rectangles. They review and practice the concepts of summation notation and area formulas to...

Learners explore estimated and exact results for derivatives, tangent lines, implicit differentiation, and symbolic differentiation. The lesson provides examples with solutions and practice problems. 

Learners differentiate and calculate the length of an arc. They define an arc and relate it to the area of a circle and integrate the function to solve the equations. Students use their TI calculators to graph the equation.

Students graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus activity, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.
