Is obesity a disease or just a preventable risk factor for other diseases? Scholars attempt to form their own opinions by reading a background of the issue and watching videos that explore the main pro and con arguments using an included...

Students explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson includes a real-world problem in which the...

Learners explore data that be modeled by a logistic function. They have the opportunity to study real-life data and create a mathematical function to model the data and make a prediction.

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Students solve exponential problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the meaning of exponents, and bases raised to different powers. They explore exponential functions using a computer.

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

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.

Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...
