Curated OER
Exploring Graphs of Inequalities
Learn how to solve inequalities and graph their answers. High schoolers use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems. They analyze their graph using the TI calculator.
Curated OER
Solving Systems using Elimination
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.
Curated OER
Maximizing Your Efforts
Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.
Curated OER
Evaluation Expressions
High schoolers explore algebraic expressions in this Algebra I lesson plan. They evaluate expressions using paper and pencil and then use the TI-83 to provide immediate reinforcements.
Curated OER
Intersecting Lines and Vertical Angles
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...
Curated OER
Factoring Trinomials
Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different integers making up the trinomial and use the special pattern to factor them. They continue to model the equations and how to factor correctly.
Curated OER
Solving Systems by the Elimination Method
Pupils solve equations by elimination and use the TI to graph the lines and find the point of intersection.
Curated OER
Trains in Motion
Students compare two object as they find the distance between them. In this geometry lesson, students create an equation describing the distance of time as a function. They use the navigator to observe the distance.
Curated OER
Let's Go Slopey
Young scholars create a table of values to graph a line. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.
Curated OER
Building Paper Bridges
High schoolers construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
