Learn how to evaluate the derivatives of polynomials.  Mathematicians find the derivative of a quadratic function and determine the value at a given value.  Students compare the slope of the secant line through two points with...

High Schoolers create a puppet and make predictions using the TI Navigator. In this math lesson, they will discuss their results as they explore transformation. This assignment requires the TI navigator or a smartboard.

Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus instructional activity. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to...

Elementary learners discover counting through a counting chart. In this math lesson, students identify numbers 1-100. They then point or recite their counting numbers.

Students solve systems of inequalities. In this lesson plan, they identify the solution of the two lines and shade the solution. They identify the boundary line and the region representing the solution.

Learners differentiate between expression and equation by evaluating integers and observing the difference. They use the TI to see the steps to solve problems.

Second graders identify fractions as part of a set. They explain concrete and symbolic representations of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents in real-world situations. They complete a web-based cookie baking lesson plan.

High schoolers solve logarithmic equations. They graph and plot logarithmic functions and use algebraic steps and the calculator to simplify and solve the equations.

Your learners will construct the perpendicular bisector of a chord. They use Cabri Jr. to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector of a chord. They then measure lengths of the chords and perpendicular bisectors. Learners use...

Pupils use their knowledge of the vertex form of a quadratic equation to graph parabolas using a graphing calculator, given a specific move to make. this lesson may be used as a review or as extra practice, in groups or individually.

High schoolers, with the assistance of their TI-84 Plus / TI-83 Plus calculators, explore and assess the connections between an accumulation function, one defined by a definite integral, and the integrand. They summarize that the...

Second graders determine what 1,000 items look like. For this math investigation lesson, 2nd graders collect 1,000 items and determine the best way to count them by tens and hundreds. They can use stickers on notecards to count to 1,000....

Students solve equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate solving equations to a balanced scale. They add, subtract, multiply and divide on both sides to keep the scale balanced.

Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.

Students write an original diamante poem about a shape of their choice. They examine how to write a diamante poem, and select a shape and write a poem using Microsoft Word software.

Students discuss the kinds of things they count and how to use tally marks. In this social science lesson plan, students count animal crackers by using tally marks for each kind of animal. The tally marks are changed into numbers...

Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus lesson. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it relates to the...

Young scholars rewrite and solve problems using mixed numbers. In this algebra lesson, students solve fractions using mixed numbers by addition and subtraction. They relate the use of mixed numbers to real life.
