Seventh graders follow a step-by-step guide for using graphing calculator to determine equations which best fit data graphed. They gather data from various sites on the web, or they do searches to find information necessary to complete...

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this instructional activity.

Students differentiate between linear and non-linear graphs. In this algebra lesson, students investigate slopes as it relates to a function using graphs of linear and non-linear equations. They collect data using the TI to graph...

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Learners test Leonardo da Vinci's view of the human body by measuring various body parts using a tape measure. They create a data table and a scatter plot and then analyze and interpret the results using a graphing calculator.

Watch an Instructional Television (ITV) video and participate in a simulation to explore supply and demand and how those two forces affect price.

Learners distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Ninth graders explore data analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders collect and organize data to create a scatter plot.  Students use the regression feature of the calculator to find the line of best fit and use...

Learners engage in a lesson plan about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches...

Students calculate the slope of a line. For this slope lesson, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Pupils are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students explore the use of matrices and graphing calculators to solve a complex linear programming problem. They test their solutions to determine the best division of land use for the city.

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

High schoolers solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Learners explore exponential growth and decay using M&M’s in this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson. They investigate the cost of a new car by calculating depreciation and payments.

Pupils write systems of equations in an augmented matrix and enter it into their calculator. They use the reduced row echelon function on the calculator to solve the system of equations.

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

Students explore the concept of running a business. In this running a business lesson, students put their plan of action into practice. Students market a product and try to maximize profit.

Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led activity and then with a partner on a second data set. They follow...

Want my name and number? It's 6.0221415 times 10 to the 23rd, and my name is Avogadro. Providing nine different activities, experiments, and labs, this lesson keeps Avogadro relevant to your class all year long.
