Learners identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus lesson, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

In this salt front of the Hudson River worksheet, 7th graders first read an excerpt about the lower portion of the Hudson River that is an estuary. Then they use a colored pencil to plot salinity data from the table shown on a graph,...

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.

Students practice math skills as they sort treats for snack. They prepare a table for snack. They count snack items. They complete a graph using the counted items.

Young scholars perform transformations on their graphs. In this algebra lesson, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

Using elimination to find the point of intersection of two lines, students learn to solve systems of equation. They graph their solutions and use the TI to verify the solution.

Explore the properties of parabolas in this instructional activity. Construct a parabola given a focus and a directrix on the Ti-Nspire. Write equations of parabolas in vertex form and determine the a value of a parabola given a focus...

As the Summer Olympics are approaching, incorporate Olympic-type games into the classroom. From straw javelin to cotton ball shot put, these games are sure to keep leaners engaged. The best part is that there is math involved! Pupils...

Ride to success in checking solutions to equations. Scholars use an interactive graph to identify points that are solutions to a linear equation. Interpreting these points in terms of the context completes the activity.

After going over the five steps of the writing process, pupils fill out "Getting to Know You" worksheets. They trade papers with each other, and have the task of writing a descriptive paragraph about the person whose worksheet they...

First graders identify heroes by researching their family history. In this personal heritage lesson plan, 1st graders define the term "hero" and the characteristics that represent it. Students research family resources and family trees...

Identify the slope of a linear equation in this algebra lesson plan. Middle schoolers graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. They identify the slope as being positive, negative, no slope, or undefined.

Plot data using the number line and discuss how negative numbers are used in math and science. Sixth and seventh graders share their graph with the class and provide an explanation for their plotting.

Fourth graders explore negative numbers with this resource. They discuss positive and negative numbers by counting who is present and absent, placing numbers on a number line, and graphing temperatures. Using a variety of activities,...

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Most of this lesson is spent working on the "Bathymetry Worksheet." It includes a graph of the changes in sea level over the past 150,000 years and a bathymetric map of changes in an imaginary coastline over time. Participants answer...

Mixing substances together causes their properties to change. This resource illustrates that concept for fifth graders by having them consider four questions that have to do with buoyancy and boiling point. Learners begin to understand...

Help scholars explain the concept of positive and negative numbers. Here you will find three separate activities that will help them to correlate positive and negative numbers with real life. Note: Activities require that the teacher...

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra lesson. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

High schoolers investigate linear, quadratic and exponential equations using the TI calculator. They identify relation and functions using ordered pairs, graph the data, analyze the data, and relate it to real-world situations.

Students analyze graphs and make conclusions about climate change.  In this climates lesson students produce graphs and identify relationships between parameters.
