Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Scholars have an opportunity to use their geometric modeling skills. Pupils determine a reasonable estimate of the number of string beans that would fill the average human body.

Using a TI-Nspire calculator, learners will work to better understand function notation and input/output functions. They write equations with a function symbols, identify what makes an equation a function, and graph lines in order to...

Scholars realize the importance of reading and correct interpretation when engaging in mathematical problem solving. This begins with the understanding of vocabulary and the translation from numeric to algebraic and algebraic to numeric.

Emerging engineers perform pre-lab calculations in this first of a three-part lesson on model building. They determine the forces of tension and compression in a truss. After completion of the worksheet, pupils will draw a draft of their...

Why does it take Pluto 90,000 days to orbit the sun, but it only takes Mercury 88 days? An interactive lesson helps pupils find a connection between the speed of orbit and distance a planet is from the sun. The simulation allows for...

Mathematically shoot down an incoming missile. Given information about the Cuban Missile Crises, learners calculate the equation of the trajectory of an imaginary missile launched from Cuba toward Washington, D.C. Scholars determine the...

Your young landscapers do concentration calculations in this problem dealing with mixing fertilizer. Learners use and analyze rational expressions within this context.

Learners calculate the sides of right triangles in this trigonometric ratios lesson. They use Cabri Jr. software and TI-83 or TI-84 calculators to find the side lengths and their ratios to each other for various triangles. The provided...

Students study time and how to accurately calculate it.  In this time lesson students complete a lab activity in pairs and discuss their findings. 

In this time constant worksheet, students answer 52 questions about the rate of current changes and voltage changes in capacitors. They analyze circuits and determine the time it takes for capacitors to change voltage and they specify...

Young scholars solve problems using technology. In this algebra lesson, students apply flow diagrams and computer codes to solve problems. They use the TI to view the graphs.

High schoolers explore quadrilaterals in this geometry lesson. They will draw a quadrilateral, measure the angles, and find the sum of the measures of the interior angles using Cabri Jr. The interactive capabilities of Cabri Jr. allow...

Investigate the properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral. In this properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral lesson, students use...

Pupils investigate inscribing a circle in a triangle. They use Cabri Jr. to draw a triangle, locate the incenter, and use the distance from the incenter to a side of the triangle to inscribe a circle. The dynamic nature of the geometry...

Pupils investigate segments in a triangle by constructing a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct segments within the triangle that lie on the midpoints of the triangle's sides. Learners then compare the slope of base of the triangle...

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry instructional activity. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the...

In this mathematical worksheet, learners fill in ninety blanks with whole numbers that when calculated come out to the answers given in each calculation.

In this physics worksheet, students analyze different schematic diagrams and answer the questions that follow. They solve and write short answers to 23 questions on circuits.

Students explore how to use graphing calculators.

Students are provided with a a Casio FX-260 to use during a GED test. They may not bring their own but this lesson enables them to practice with one before taking the test. This calculator is used to double check work and step by step...

Learners graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze...
