Fourth graders read "Starting a Business" and answer the question: "How could you design an ad to let the community know about the business described in the story?" Then, they illustrate a written ad that could be posted in the...

You'll be sold on using the resource. Future consumers first conduct a sample survey on marketing strategies. They then consider how mass media influences their age groups and create presentations to display their findings.

Second graders become involved in the advertisement, marketing, and development of their own cookie business. Students must choose a job for the preparation and baking of the cookies. Students also manage the profits and advertisement of...

What is "viral marketing" and how does it relate to mathematics? Young mathematicians use exponential functions to develop a mathematical model for a business advertising campaign. Learners then see how their campaigns increase...

Using your graphing calculator, find all the rational zeroes of a polynomials by using the Rational Zero Theorem. Divide polynomials using the Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem and then graph it to find the number of real roots.

Would your ideal science lab be filled with bubbling beakers and zapping Tesla coils? Or would it contain state-of-the-art computer technology and data analysis? Dream big with an innovative lesson that connects math and language...

Pupils examine graphs for continuity and differentiability in this calculus instructional activity. They observe piecewise functions to see where continuity and differentiability come into play. Learners finish by graphing their equation...

Students identify the number of diagonals for each polygon. In this geometry lesson, students identify the polygons based on their diagonals and the way it intersect. They create visuals using the navigator to see the changes in the shapes.

Used along with data collection devices, the EasyData Application for the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 calculator allows learners to use real data to learn math and science. Statistics, curve fits, and integrals are used to analyze the...

Young analysts examine changes in the nutria population, vegetation density, and marsh area over time in the wetlands of Louisiana. They import data and use the TI-73 Explorer to graph and analyze the effects of nutria on marsh loss.

Explore parabolas and investigate linear and quadratic functions to solve problems symbolically and graphically. Also use parametric functions to display trajectories on a graphing calculator.

Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

Here is a TI-Navigator™ activity that allows high schoolers to review the concept of factoring and solving quadratic binomials, including a connection to graphical solutions. They enter a number such as -2 using the minus key and not the...

Students collect temperatures using a probe and examine data.  In this temperature lesson students complete an activity using a graphing calculator. 

Exploring families of functions allows students compare and contrast properties of functions.  Students discuss properties that include symmetry, max and min points, asymptotes, derivatives, etc.

How can you tell if a commercial or salesperson is being misleading? Encourage your learners to protect themselves and their money with a lesson about consumer rights. They review laws that keep consumers safe from faulty claims and...

Young scholars solve problems with slopes. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope of a line and relate it to the rate of change.  They graph their lines on the TI and observe changes in the lines.

Learners explore area of polygons and regular polygons in this math lesson plan. They calculate the area of several polygons using Cabri Jr. and analyze shapes and write formulas to solve for the area.

Students solve problems dealing with points, lines and planes. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between parallel lines and planes. They find the intersection of lines and planes.

Pupils solve polynomial functions by graphing. They factor rational expressions to find the roots of the equation and apply the rational zero theorem to find the zeros of a polynomial.

Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles students will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).

Students solve problems of area using the trapezoid and midpoint rule. In this calculus lesson, students take the derivative of the functions as they approximate the area under a curve. They calculate the exact area using the area formula.

Students create different methods to analyze their data. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to make their...

Students solve piecewise functions. For this precalculus lesson, students model real life scenarios using velocity and piecewise. They create velocity graphs and find the beginning and end position of an object.
