Students solve problems identifying the functions and inverses. In this algebra lesson, students identify a one-to-one function, and perform the horizontal line test. They analyze data and graph their results on a graph.

Learners describe the end behavior of polynomial functions. Pupils relate the behavior of the graph to the exponent of the graph. They differentiate graphs with odd-exponent and graphs with even exponents.

Pupils identify the multiplicity of exponents as they graph polynomials. They write equations for a function given the zeros of the function and work backwards from solving equations.

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

High schoolers explore the concept of Pi.  In this Pi lesson, students measure the circumference and diameter of a circle.  High schoolers record the diameter and circumference measurements from their classmates.  Students...

Learn to solve functions by taking the derivatives. In this calculus lesson plan, students compare the graph of a derivative to that of the original function.

Pupils practice a variety of strategies with varying numbers of tiles to form shapes and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each one. Each group is assigned a different area to build either with square tiles or a geoboard....

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students use Riemann Sums to find the area under a curve. They apply the boundaries of intervals as they solve for each area.

Young mathematicians define and use Euler's method to solve problems in this calculus lesson. Learners visualize graphs and solve differential equations. They create these visuals on the TI calculator.

High schoolers graph Taylor polynomials. In this calculus instructional activity, students relate accuracy of a Taylor polynomial to the degree of the equation. They graph their polynomials using the TI calculator.

Students analyze taylor series for convergence. In this calculus lesson, students analyze the graph of a taylor series as it relates to functions. They use the TI calculator to graph and observe the different series. 

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Young scholars investigate functions and their transformations. They move absolute value functions around on the coordinate plane, and then define the transformation and plot the new graph. The table feature of the TI-calculator is used...

The class works to identify solutions using the discriminant.They use part of the quadratic formula to find the number of solutions a quadratic equation will have. They calculate how-many times the quadratic function will cut the x-axis....

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

Young scholars investigate systems of linear inequalities as they apply to an area of land. They practice graphing systems and determine if a point lies in the solution. 

Graphing linear equations on the TI is easy! Through examination of graphs and identification if it is a function or not, this lesson can relate to the real world.

The class solves systems of linear inequalities. They graph lines and identify the point of intersection.They graph lines and identify the boundary that represent the solution and solution set.

Students analyze the derivative of a graph. In this calculus lesson, students identify the different behavior of a graph. They label concavity of the graphs as increasing or decreasing.

Pupils explore the concept of distance and time as they use a CBR to mimic distance v. time graphs. Learners walk towards and away from the monitor to create various distance v. time graphs, then discuss what motion creates certain graphs.

With the assistance of their Ti-84/Ti-83 Plus calculators, young scholars develop a foundation for the limiting process as well as estimate limits from graphs and tables of values. They view how a function behaves as the input approaches...

Learners solve exponential and log functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph natural log and logarithmic functions. They compare and contrast between logs and the exponential graphs. 

Students observe and calculate slopes. In this algebra lesson, students graph equations and determine the pace at which the slope is changing. They use the navigator to see the change as they graph the lines around.
