A TI-nspire instructional activity to find determinants of matrices using calculators. The class follows along in this step by step activity to explore operations on matrices. They will mostly be multiplying and at the end of the...

How hard can it be to measure out two pounds? A short performance task introduces a situation where a balance scale is broken. It gives a method for measuring out two pounds and asks learners to evaluate the procedure. They must prove...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze data from four different activities. The activities include information about classmates, tallying colors of cars in a parking lot, stem and leaf plots, and making a histogram from...

The power to solve exponential equations lies in the resource. Scholars first learn how to solve exponential equations. An activity matching cards with equations, intermediate steps, and solutions strengthens this skill.

Find the pattern! Eighteen number sequences challenge scholars to identify and complete the pattern, adding at least four digits to the given numbers. All the sequences here involve skip counting by various single-digit numbers,...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

This algebra activity reviews writing polynomials in standard form from factored form, looks at the graphs of polynomials of degree higher than two, and identifies the zeros of polynomials using the Factor Theorem and Fundamental Theorem...

Fibonacci is an interesting sequence that forms some unique patterns. Learners explore sequences that do not have the typical arithmetic and geometric patterns. They identify the pattern and find the next consecutive terms....

While there are many types of equations to solve, the main focus here is on quadratics. Starting with a quick review of the different methods, learners are guided through the solving process and are challenged to solve higher level...

Eleventh graders use factoring to solve 44 different problems involving area, intercepts, quadratic equations, and functions.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems using integration by partial fractions. They add fractions to get a common denominator, then take the derivative. There are 20 questions with an answer key.

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

In this math worksheet, students get comfortable counting to 990 by filling in the blank spaces in number series. Students count the larger numbers in order, filling in missing spaces. The number series segments begin at 500 and do not...

In this math worksheet, students use a paper model to build a truncated icosidodecahedron. The worksheet includes a model that is to be cut out and put together by the student. There is an option to include a small preview of the...

In this math worksheet, students complete 6 number patterns in which students fill in the missing numbers while skip counting. The addition pattern is already indicated for students. All numbers on the page are between 1 and 35.

In this interval worksheet, students write a geometric series for the derivatives of a function. Students determine the values of x and where it may converge. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Investigation of a nomograph teaches young scholars to determine the rule of a function by examining the input and output values.  Students use a nomograph on their Ti-Nspire to determine the function rule.  Young scholars make...

In this chemistry instructional activity, learners calculate the amount of drug found in someones blood based on how long they have been taking the drug. There are 5 questions.

For this math worksheet, students solve the problems using the rules of Calculus. They focus upon using trigonometric rules to investigate the functions.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concepts of generalizing root-finding algorithms and fixed point iteration. They also practice using the Fixed Point Theorem.

In this math worksheet, students practice finding the function while practicing using the Taylor series. Then they compute the second integral by parts.

In this math activity, students consider a series and test to see if the law of convergence applies or not. Then they calculate the Taylor series about x = 0 for the trigonometric functions f(x)=sinx and g(x)=cos.

In this math instructional activity, students examine the concept of orders of convergence for a sequence. They practice finding the different rates of convergence.
