Students will be sent ordered pairs through lists using the TI-Navigator. These pairs will then be graphed as a line graph and students will classify the shape of the quadrilateral and justify their choice.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to pursuit curves, in which objects follow seemingly awkward paths due to other objects chasing it. In this lesson (which is technology intensive), students...

Students can use the Transform app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in...

In this activity, students investigate patterns in ordered pairs generated by constructing a sequence of similar shapes. They then use the patterns and the calculator to predict the perimeter of a specific shape in the sequence.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson is more about student prediction and reasoning than actual formal math. In the lesson, students are to propose the shape that would be formed by a point on a bicycle tire, while...

Students practice with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the curve. They use this concept to find a quadratic model. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.

This set contains questions regarding the Central Limit Theorem. The student sees that, as the size n increases, the shape of the sampling distribution gradually approaches a normal curve, and its population standard deviation decreases.

Students will compare areas of different polygons with a fixed perimeter and find the shape that gives the maximum area

Students can use the data to explore the relationship between area and perimeter for rectangles and circles and they will make generalizations about the shape of the rectangle that will produce the smallest perimeter.

In this activity, students observe a special characteristic of the bisectors of the angles in a triangle. They test their conjecture by changing the size and shape of the triangle.

In this activity, students will determine the average speed of a falling object. They will observe whether or not changing the mass and keeping the same shape have an effect on the average speed of the object.

In this activity, students' will use a pair of motion detectors to record the cartesian coordinates of a rod moving in a star-shaped pattern and calculate the distances moved between the vertices of the star. They also compare these...

In this activity, students will graph the height of a ball versus time after it is dropped from some height. They will then examine one ball bounce and investigate the parameters that effect the shape of the graph. They will also explore...

In this activity, students move in a specific way in front of the motion detector to create motion plots that match a given Distance versus Time plot. They make connections between types of movements and characteristics of Distance-Time...

Using TI-Interactive, students will discover how the variables of a, h, and k in the vertex form of a quadratic function affect the size, shape and location of the parabola. During the lesson students will write quadratic functions when...

The students can use varying numbers of tiles to form shapes, and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each.

This set contains questions about graphs of V - shaped absolute value functions. Students are asked to determine maximum and minimum values, state whether the graph is opening up or down, and solve absolute value inequalities.

Students investigate patterns in ordered pairs generated by constructing a sequence of similar shapes. They will then use the patterns and the calculator to predict the number of blocks it will take to build a specific shape in the...

This set contains statistics questions comparing distributions of univariate data. The student is asked to note the differences between distributions regarding center, shape, spread, and existence of outliers.

Students will design swimming pools in the shape of polygons on grid paper with two vertices given.

Young scholars will work in groups of 3 or 4 scouring the campus for items of various shapes, sizes and angles. The items that students will be looking for are outlined on the rubric. Young scholars will use technology to create a...

Here the life of the Doukhobour culture in British Columbia is discussed. This Russian emigre pacifist sect and their communal way of life helped shape the debate over human rights in British Columbia.

The Royal British Columbia Museum discusses the role that Italians played in shaping the province. Italian workers were instrumental with the gold rush, with coal mines and with the construction of the railroad. The Italian Community...
