Pupils graph quadratic equations. They use interactive graphs, on CD-ROM, to answer specific equations. Students identify the vertex of a parabola and the axis of symmetry.

Students solve and graph inequalities on a number line. In this algebra lesson, students solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and graph their solutions using open or closed circles. They graph with 80%-90%...

Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson, students use coordinates and the distance formula to find the distance. They perform an interactive lesson to solve the missing length.

Students graph linear equations using a table. In this algebra lesson, students create a table of values using the linear equation to find the y-values. They plot their point on a coordinate plane and graph the line.

What is that out in the water on the horizon? Teams work together to study the coastline using maps to determine the best and worst locations to place an offshore wind farm. The teams then build a scale model wind farm to see what it...

What is the financial benefit for attending a community college for the first two years before transferring to a four-year college? The second part of the educational lesson asks young scholars to explore this question through data...

Students investigate the graphs of six trigonometric functions. They discover how changes in the equation of the basic function affect the graph of the function.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Students review ways to use the calculator to graph a function, solve an equation, calculate a numerical derivative, and calculate a definite integral. They practice using their calculator to solve a set of sample exercises. Students...

Learn how to investigate the change in a graph by dragging the cursor to observe the change in the function. They use the TI calculator to graph their parabola.

In need of some algebraic fun with real world implications?Learners use ordered pairs, a table of values and a scatter plot to evaluate the validity of several real world data sets. The class focuses on  dog ages in human...

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.

In this graphing functions worksheet, students solve and complete 13 different problems that include identifying and graphing various functions. First, they graph each of the functions shown on the graphs provided. Then, students solve...

Learners solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their lines...

Ninth graders investigate mean, median, and mode.  In this mean, median, and mode instructional activity, 9th graders research gold data for the top ten scores in two golf tournaments.  Students make tables and graphs of the...

Students make a circle graph. In this graphing activity, the teacher conducts a class survey, then demonstrates how to make a pie graph. When students are comfortable with the material, they use a worksheet to create their own graph.

Students solve problems using the TI. For this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

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...

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...
