Learners use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to solve problems. In this calculus lesson plan, students use the TI to solve the graphing porting of the problem. They practice graphing functions and discuss their place in the real world.

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Focusing on this algebra lesson, learners relate quadratic equations in factored form to their solutions and their graph from a number of different aspects. In some problems, one starts with the original equation and finds the...

Your learners will write quadratic functions whose graphs include specific points and explore how these graphs are related to each other.

Upper elementary or middle schoolers will explore non-linear functions, graphing, and the curve of best fit through real-life data collection and trial analysis. They explore the concept of half-life and radioactive decay using M&Ms,...

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.

Context is the key to understanding slope. A real-world application of slope uses a weight loss scenario with a constant rate of change to introduce the concept of slope of a line, before it makes a connection to the ordered pairs...

Ideal for your electricity unit, especially with middle schoolers, this lesson plan gets engineers using multimeters in electrical circuits to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Older learners may even plot...

Students explore the graphing calculator feature on the Macintosh computer to explore some "parent" functions and their translations, combinations, and composites.

Twelfth graders investigate the capabilities of the TI-89.  In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders explore the parametric equation for a circle, for arc length of curves, and for trajectories.  Students investigate the...

Pupils play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Students dilate functions using transformation. In this algebra lesson, students complete vertical dilation, stretch and shrink. They perform reflection across the x and y axis.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve quadratic equations. They factor and graph their solutions. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Pupils explore a method of checking the sum or difference of polynomials by graphing the problem and the simplified answer and comparing the graphs. 

Students investigate families of functions.  In this families of functions lesson, students discuss how changing a functions parameters affect its' graph.  Students vary slope and y-intercepts of linear functions. ...

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Students identify and analyze geographical locations of inventors. They each identify where their inventor is from on a U.S. map, discuss geographic patterns, and create a t-chart and graph using the Graph Club 2.0 Software.

Students explore how to use graphing calculators.

In this functions worksheet, students explore the graphs of fifteen parent functions.  This worksheet is meant as a reference for students.

Students use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.

Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The lesson is designed to be a...

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

Learners analyze linear functions in this algebra lesson. They explore the meaning of slope and the slope-intercept form of a line as they investigate the effect changing parameters on the graph of a linear function.
