TI-Nspire Activity: What Does Your Representation Tell You?
By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....
Curated OER
The Mandelbrot Set
Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.
Curated OER
Circle Relationships
Students explore circles. In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...
Curated OER
Quadratics: Polynomial Form
Students determine how to use the polynomial form of a quadratic equation to find the location of the vertex on a graph. They determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its vertex on a graph. Students find...

Quadratics: Polynomial Form
Students determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its graph. They determine how to use the equation to determine the intercepts of a quadratic function. Students identify the location of the intercepts...
Curated OER
Normal Probability Plot
Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.
Curated OER
Logarithmic Transformations of Data
Students investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.
Curated OER
The Quadratic Formula
Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra activity, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.
Curated OER
Saving the Bald Eagle
Students plot on a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students identify points on a coordinate plane and graph lines given coordinate pairs. They create a model as they study bald eagles and their growth and decay.
Curated OER
The Mandelbrot Set
Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.
Curated OER
View Tubes
Eighth graders decide if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affects the type of data collected and the resulting graph through a series of experiments.
Curated OER
Confusing Colors!
Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...
Curated OER
Rewriting Equations &Formulas
Practice with literal equations. Solve for one variable in terms of another. Find the value of y given specific values of x. This short worksheet would make a good warm-up activity at the beginning of class or a quick assessment at...
Curated OER
What Are The Chances
Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.
