Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson plan, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects...

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

Young scholars calculate the solution using integrals in this calculus lesson. They use the TI to create a visual of how to compute integrals. Learners also use substitution by integration and all its properties.

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other...

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...

Students state their opinions about school funding and the use of monetary resources by school districts and use reasons, facts, and examples to support their ideas. They compare sets of data related to school funding and draw...

For this activity students pretend that they have been hired by a candy manufacturer to design a box for a new product they are beginning to market. The manufacturer has pre-determined the volume of the candy box. It is the students' job...

Students read a short tutorial and complete one or more online activities. They visit an online math dictionary to learn the value of a day, month, week, and year. In addition, they construct word problems based on a favorite month;...

Students use funnels and create tunnels. In this early childhood lesson plan, students begin to understand science and math concepts such as flow, force, gravity, and volume and develop skills in areas such as problem solving and...

Solving problems on the TI graphing calculator can be quite easy. Students observe the properties of transformation of functions and create a formula for the transformation.

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.

Students identify properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the umber of sides to help define the angle of the polygon.

Teach how to differentiate between chords and perpendicular bisectors. In this geometry instructional activity, students relate the properties of chords and circle to solving right triangle. They define what makes two chords congruent in...
