Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson plan is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

High schoolers identify factors that are important for brain functioning of learning. They observe the impact of interaction in mice. They also create their own experiment dealing with the mice. They analyze and share their results.

Young scholars use the internet to find reasons the rainforest is endangered and ways that affects the rest of the world. They read for information, perform experiments, locate rainforests on maps, and write about this ecosystem.

Students participate in a variety of instructional experiences about Computer Science. They define Computational Science and describe computational simulation. They also compare and contrast Computational Science and Computer Science.

Students explain that planets actually orbit the center of gravity of the solar system, and that distant planets may be detected by motions of their central star around the centers of gravity of their planetary systems.

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

Students research aspects of gardening including nutrition, costs, and soil preparation. They then write a report detailing the planning of the garden and compare costs to buying the items.

Students examine the differences between Boyle's Law and Charles' Law. They discuss the concept of thermal depolymerization. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

Student research a "Historical Individual" using the Internet. They print a minimum of five articles and organize them. They create a visual biography of their historical figure.

Eleventh graders use the internet and other sources to research a selected individual. They explore important events, challenges, and the impact and influence the person had on US History. Using the information gathered, 11th graders...

In this college level calculus worksheet, students evaluate the given definite integrals.  The three page worksheet contains eight problems.  Solutions are not provided. 

Students use graph theory to create social graphs for their own social networks and apply what learn to create a graph representing the social dynamics found in a dramatic text. Students then derive meaning based on what they know about...

The interactive tutorial explores the graph of the derivative of sin (x).

Explores derivatives and the idea of infinity using a geometric interpretation of slope.

View the graph and the equation of the line tangent to any function at any point on the function.

Students will be lead to discover the relationship between the graph of a function, graph of first derivative, and graph of the second derivative using TI-InterActive!.

In this Derive activity, students relate the behavior of the graph of an exponential function to the signs of its first two derivatives. They realize that if the signs of the first two derivatives over a given interval are known, a...

In this activity, students observe the derivative as an indicator of increasing/decreasing function behavior. They also see that the derivative is an indicator of local maxima/ minima function behavior. Students learn to associate the...

Intended for the beginning lessons in derivative and function graphs, this activity uses motion detectors and battery operated toy cars to generate constant velocity graphs on a TI-83/84. Then students take a free-wheeling car and roll...

Students can use the graphing calculator to demonstrate the use of the difference quotient as the definition of the derivative.

Given a set of four graphs, match each graph with the graph of it's derivative. This exercise helps to visualize the relationship between a graph and it's derivative, and over 50 graphs are available (although only four are used at one...

Hotmath provides 26 practice problems dealing with derivatives and their graphs. Each of the practice problems include a step-by-step guide for solving their derivative.

This site give the formula for finding the slope of the tangent line to a polar graph. The page offers step by step explanations and worked examples.
