Linear Programming and the Inequalz App
Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this lesson. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine the maximum for...
Project SMART
Dinosaur Trek
Second graders investigate dinosaurs. They explore various websites, submit questions to a paleontologist online, construct cut and paste model dinosaur skeletons, develop a graph to compare dinosaurs, and label pictures from online...
Curated OER
Butterflies
Pupils will explore the life cycle of the Painted Lady butterfly by raising their own. They will incorporate math, science, and language arts as they graph, pattern, journal, observe, and artistically create.
Curated OER
Seasons
Students explore the four seasons. Through observation activities, they explore and discuss the weather changes that occur during each season. Students create a graph of the clothing that is worn during each season.
Curated OER
The Factor Connection
Pupils investigate the connection between factors, zeros, and graphs of quadratic functions. The lesson requires the TI-nspire handheld.
Curated OER
Solar Energy - Dehydration
Sixth graders explore process of drying food using solar energy. They cook and/or dry food such as pumpkins, watermelon, corn, and deer meat, explain how solar energy changes foods, and compare and contrast solar energy with other forms...
Curated OER
Lunchroom Trash
Students explore the amount of waste produced by humans. In this ecology lesson, students predict which lunch bag and its contents will produce the most waste. Leftover material is examined, amounts are recorded, and a bar graph is...
Curated OER
Match Me Plus
Have your class investigate Piecewise functions by matching a position versus time graph to the function that describe the walk.
Curated OER
Linear-Quadratic Inequalities
Students graph linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students create graph with specific coordinate points. They use the Ti to visualise and differentiate between the two functions.
Curated OER
Exploring Infinite Series
Learners analyze geometric series in detail. They determine convergence and sum of geometric series, identify a series that satisfies the alternating series test and utilize a graphing handheld to approximate the sum of a series.

Computing with Mathematical Formulas
Students solve problems using formulas. In this algebra lesson, students evaluate numbers using substitution. They graph their answers using a TI and discuss the outcome.
Curated OER
Solving Systems by the Elimination Method
Pupils solve equations by elimination and use the TI to graph the lines and find the point of intersection.
Curated OER
Factoring Trinomials
Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.
