Teach your class how to solve problems using the triangle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles in a triangle using the sum theorem. They graph triangles on the TI and moves the sides around to create...

Second graders make a KWL chart and brainstorm what they need for the project of growing potatoes. They choose one potato and plant it in water or peat moss cups and choose a location in which meets the needs of the plants and make their...

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus instructional activity, students find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Teach your pupils to calculate the area of different polygons. Learners create formulas to solve their problems. They use the TI navigator to graph their shapes and observe the change in area.

Students solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic functions. they use the properties of quadratics to calculate the distance.

High schoolers explore the concept of circles as they construct a circle using a program such as Cabri Jr. Learners construct a chord and a diameter that are perpendicular, then measure the bisected chord and notice that both sides of...

Learners slice cones and identify the different conics formed. They then derive the formula to solve problems involving cones. Pull out the TI calculators to visualize the slicing and the different parts and properties created.

High schoolers examine the velocities of two different falling objects. They produce distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using a Motion Detector and a CBL 2 to collect experimental data. Learners analyze and interpret the...

Third graders research the cities in Florida and discuss information about that city.  In this travel brochure lesson, 3rd graders develop a list of attractions, slogan, and find facts about the city they are studying. ...

Learners investigate quadratic equations as they use a CBR to collect and analyze data regarding a bouncing ball. Pupils explore different methods for determining the equation of the parabolic path including quadratic regression and...

Learners investigate the area of various figures. They construct triangles and quadrilaterals using Cabri Jr. and discuss the relationships between different angles, side lengths, and figures.

Students analyze race and gender in the media. In this algebra lesson, students apply their knowledge of percents and ratios to determine the representation of race and gender in the media. They discuss and graph their data.

Fourth graders engage in a class discussion where they create a list of their favorite physical fitness activities. They tally the numbers on the board and use Microsoft Excel to create a spreadsheet and graph of the activities.

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Students participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...

Students discover the types and amounts of particulate matter found in the air. They collect particulates using a Petri dish coated with Vaseline then classify and count the collection under a stereoscope.

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...

Students using scientific inquiry will observe and record in daily journals their findings on cotton seeds. They measure, graph, and then communicate their discoveries about plants to each other.

Students concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

Students solve quadratics by factoring. For this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations using two different methods. They solve the equations and graph using the intercepts.

Students calculate and find a certain location. In this geometry lesson, students examine a coordinate plane for pair of coordinates. They calculate the distance between point using the distance formula and estimation.

Students interpret information on a weather map in order to construct a graph, and discuss how the weather impacts their lives.

Students analyze the struggle for racial and gender equality and for the extension of civil liberties, the social and economic impact of the Great Depression, and the economic boom and social transformation of post-World War II United...
