Pupils examine graphs for continuity and differentiability in this calculus lesson plan. They observe piecewise functions to see where continuity and differentiability come into play. Learners finish by graphing their equation on the TI...

Learners explore area of polygons and regular polygons in this math lesson. They calculate the area of several polygons using Cabri Jr. and analyze shapes and write formulas to solve for the area.

Students solve problems dealing with points, lines and planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel lines and planes. They find the intersection of lines and planes.

Students identify the number of diagonals for each polygon. In this geometry lesson, students identify the polygons based on their diagonals and the way it intersect. They create visuals using the navigator to see the changes in the shapes.

Pupils solve polynomial functions by graphing. They factor rational expressions to find the roots of the equation and apply the rational zero theorem to find the zeros of a polynomial.

Your class will investigate the relationship among different triangles. This geometry lesson, demonstrates how to make a connection between triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. They identify the missing side or angle of a triangle.

Young mathematicians will identify the minimum, maximum-and zeros of a function in this calculus instructional activity. They relate the derivative of a function to its zeros and minimum or maximum. They then graph their solutions and...

Teach your class how to differentiate between linear and exponential functions. They use exponential properties to solve problems, graph them using the TI-Navigator, and make comparisons.

If one ice cream cone represents three ice cream scoops, and Bob has four ice cream cones, then how many scoops does Bob have? Learners solve these kind of questions with their new understanding of pictographs.
