Students can use a graphing calculator to explore families of linear functions. This Technology Lab accompanies Lesson 5-9 from the 2007 Holt, Rinehart and Winston textbook.

Students note the range of heat indexes on the overall data as well as specific humidity levels and air temperatures. They find the mean and median of the ranges and calculate apparent temperatures for specific scenarios.

Students will create quadratic functions that model revenue collected and profit earned from selling bouquets in a flower shop. The students can use graphing calculators to identify the maximum value for each function. Once they identify...

In this activity, students calculate the surface area and volume of different shaped cell models. They develop an understanding of the differences in cells and their function

In this activity, students learn to calculate the area of geometric shapes. They solve real world problems involving area.

Students simplify fractions by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF (the greatest common factor). They check their work by using a calculator.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson uses matrices (inverse and multiplication) to decode messages hidden within digital pictures -- a process known as steganography. This method of hidden communication is known to...

Students use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and learn the usefulness of them. Students identify the five summary statistical values of data sets - minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.

Students are given the techniques for evaluating limits with and without using a graphing calculator. Both limits as x approaches a and as x approaches +/- infinity are given.

This is a classroom demonstration version of Lab 14 from "Physics with Calculators"

For race car engineers, F = m a, is the backbone of the vast majority of calculations. The selection of gear ratios is one example. Investigate and create a mathematical model for the relationship between force, speed, mass, distance and...

Students use a graphing calculator to find experimental probabilities by generating random numbers, using the random integer function. This Technology Lab accompanies Lesson 10-5 from the 2007 Holt, Rinehart and Winston Algebra 1 textbook.

In this activity, students study Hooke's Law. They understand that stretch on a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the end of the string. Students observe a spring being stretched as candies are added to a cup...

Students find ratios and calculate measures of central tendency for sets of data. They understand the concept of the Golden Ratio. They use box-and-whisker plots to analyze data.

Students can use the graphing calculator to demonstrate the use of the difference quotient as the definition of the derivative.

This activity uses screen capture to introduce solving linear equations by graphing. Using screen captures save the teacher from having to go from one student to another to make sure the students' are typing the correct information into...

Students can use a graphing calculator to explore transformations with matrices. They will analyze how each element of the matrix affects the position of the image.

In this activity, students use the pen feature of the calculator to draw geometric shapes in a coordinate plane.

In this activity, students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph...

Students learn to add and subtract numbers Using the calculator. They investigate patterns in place value and explore relationships between numbers on the hundred chart.

Students create a design by connecting points in the coordinate plane. They then program their calculators to display their designs.

Activity will allow students to study vocabulary words and definitions with personal or in class calculators.

The students can use a StudyCards stack to learn how to solve absolute value equations and inequalities. Later, they will learn how to use the calculator graphing capabilities to solve the same type of problems in a new way.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to confidence intervals by using a simulation. Students use a calculator (or random number table) to simulate a situation with a certain success rate, and then...
