Learners solve problems using the TI. In this calculus instructional activity, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

Investigate arithmetic and geometric sequences by using a graphing calculator to determine if a sequence is linear or exponential.

Learners find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet. Using this data, they create scatter plots of the sequences to determine how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio. They will consider whether series...

In a cross-curricular measurement and literacy lesson, your class will identify and compare cooking measurement instruments. They read a recipe and sequence a set of similar instructions in which the steps have been mixed up....

Students explore the concept of baking cookies. In this baking cookies lesson plan, students work in groups to correctly make a batch of cookies. Students must convert measurements in order to determine the correct amount of...

Students explore the pattern created by a sequence or series. In this geometry lesson, students relate the spread of a virus to the growth of exponential functions. They collect data as they analyze the sequence created by the growth.

Students investigate how to create a vegetable garden and complete related activities. In this vegetable garden lesson, students receive agriculture notebooks to complete vocabulary for the gardening lesson. Students read 'Still-Life...

Pupils investigate the formulas for volumes of various solids using the Ti-89 calculator. The instructional activity focuses on the keying sequences necessary to embed the required volume formula in a program which is then used in the...

High schoolers are introduced to infinite series, geometric and telescoping series as well as the relationship between the sequence of partial sums of a series and its sum. They apply symbolic capacity of their calculator and calculus to...

Students write math sentences to fit a given story. They recognize number families and discuss the character traits of a sharing and relate their feeelings and experience with sharing. The Doorbell Rang story is read and the students...

Secret codes are so much fun, and a great way to practice nearly any math skill. Let your class become code breakers as they investigate inverse matrices. They use TI-Nspire technology to solve systems of equations which help them crack...

Middle schoolers speculate on the better rate of pay: a dollar a day for 10 days, or a penny the first day, two pennies the second, doubling each day for 10 days. Start by listening to the story The King's Chessboard, by David Birch....

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

Learners analyze geometric series in detail. They determine convergence and sum of geometric series, identify a series that satisfies the alternating series test and utilize a graphing handheld to approximate the sum of a series.
