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....

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

Using Cabri Jr. learners construct a circle and determine the equation of the circle they drew by finding the center and the radius. Students use the distance formula to derive the equation of their circle.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...

High Schoolers investigate the perpendicular bisector of a line segment. They use Cabri Jr. to construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment. The dynamics capabilities of Cabri Jr. allow your learners to observe the lengths of the...

Pupils identify and define intersecting lines and vertical angles. They draw two intersecting lines and measure one pair of vertical angles. Learners will also move a line to change the angles of a figure and describe the changes in the...

High schoolers investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri Jr. to construct and explore the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The drawing and measurement tools available with Cabri Jr....

Learners slice cones and identify the different conics formed. They then derive the formula to solve problems involving cones. Pull out the TI calculators to visualize the slicing and the different parts and properties created.

Students construct the circumcenter of a triangle. In this constructing the circumcenter of a triangle lesson, students construct a triangle using Cabri Jr. Students draw perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. Students...

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

Young scholars decide whether or not there is or has even been water on Mars. They analyze temperature and pressure data from the Pathfinder mission to Mars, and then they analyze images of Mars, interpreting the landforms they see and...

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus lesson, students find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

High schoolers solve equations using a given derivative. In this calculus lesson plan, students identify the rise of fall of each function. They use the calculator to find the derivative.

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus lesson. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

Students use the data from USA TODAY Snapshot "World population milestones" to explore and explain the trends in the world population.

Middle schoolers investigate the mathematical concept of absolute value by counting the number of steps taken in two directions. Using the number line the teacher can note how they can forward and backward without changing the absolute...

Young mathematicians explore quadratics equations in this lesson. They investigate the relationship between the standard form and factored form of quadratic equations. Learners then examine the relationship between the factoring form of...

Students explore the concept of linear and exponential growth. In this linear and exponential growth instructional activity, students collect data about China's population. Students model the data to determine if it is linear or...

Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

Students investigate with radio waves that are used to remotely sense the topography beneath the ice sheet. They experiment with travel time of waves and convert data to distance and depth. As a result, they develop a profile of the...

Your mathematicians will examine several conjectures regarding even and odd functions and investigate a formal proof of the conjectures using CAS. 

Students define institutional racism and consider its effects on various groups in society. They discuss what other groups besides Indigenous Australians have experienced institutional racism in Australia? Students research...

Students experiment with peapods to show the diversity of individual within a population. They examine dominant traits, recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes and show the process of making a Punnett Square.
