Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Pupils collect data from tossing a ball into the air. Using a data collection device, they graph the data, set a window, and analyze the height of the toss, how long the ball was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models...

Students perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. In this linear relationships lesson, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add weights...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

Learners practice with the StudyCard set on assessing real-world contexts dealing with the concepts of maximum, minimum, increasing and decreasing. They view a variety of quadratic functions and equations with their TI-83 Plus calculators.

Pupils use their knowledge of the vertex form of a quadratic equation to graph parabolas using a graphing calculator, given a specific move to make. this lesson may be used as a review or as extra practice, in groups or individually.

Students factor trinomials and other quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve trinomials containing negative and positive coefficients. They factor quadratics of difference squares as well as regular polynomials.

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, young scholars investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Students examine complex numbers. In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate two programs that involve complex numbers: the MANDELER Program and SYNDIV program.

Young scholars define the slope of the line, find the slope between any two points on the line, and allow them to name other areas where the slope is used. They explain why the slope is defined as the rise over the run.

Learners collect and analyze voltage data. Then, they investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe and graph their data and analyze it using a table.

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 identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

A page right out of the Holt Geometry book. Use a graphing calculator and graph paper to explore transformations with matrices.  

Put all of the derivative rules into one basket. The lesson stars with warm-up exercises that provide a connection to previously learned concepts. The lesson plan uses the different derivative theorems to calculate a variety of...

What do guitars, candles, and helicopters have in common? They're all in this resource. Learners complete an assessment task to determine the amount of profit made in a guitar class based on given information regarding variable...

Parallel parking might be difficult, but finding parallel lines is fairly simple. In this lesson, learners first complete an assessment task involving parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Individuals then take part...

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Fifth graders use spreadsheets.

Students convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.
