Practice converting a conventional number into scientific notation, and vice-versa. Using an applet, they perform the operations of multiplication and division on numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Factor in this resource when teaching how to factor polynomials. Scholars use algebra tiles to factor linear and quadratic expressions. They practice their skill by working on example problems from a worksheet.

Class members have some catching up to do. Given a linear equation describing the distance of a runner, young mathematicians interpret the equation in terms of the context. They consider a general equation of the same form and describe...

Young scholars calculate the slopes of secant lines. In this calculus lesson, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

No need to go to extreme lengths to find resources on extrema. The central focus of an AP® curriculum module is on critical points and extrema, and how to cover these concepts throughout the course. A set of three worksheets helps assess...

Explore the solution to a word problem involving area and perimeter. Learners read and discuss how to approach the problem. In small groups, they determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter using a piece of string....

Learners explore binomial multiplication through the use of technology. Using a graphing calculator, you pupils enter the binomial expression into Y1, multiply the binomials and enter that result into Y2, and combine like terms and enter...

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. 

Students graph polynomials. In this Algebra II activity, students investigate the graph of a polynomial to determine the value and the number of zeros. This activity requires the use of a graphing calculator.

Students explore the concept of exponential growth.  In this exponential growth lesson, students manipulate power models with base 2.  Students discuss what would happen if you doubled a penny over the course of 20 days. ...

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.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Students graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus activity, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

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...

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 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.
