Curated OER
Hot Wheels
Students observe the action produced by toy cars. In this geometry instructional activity, students discuss motion and distance as they relate to the movement of a spherical object.They collect data and make conjectures based on their data.
Curated OER
Relating Distance and Velocity Over Time
Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.
Curated OER
The Swinging Pendulum
Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.
Curated OER
Leap Into Exponential Functions
Studens identify the properties of exponents. In this algebra lesson, students grapha nd solve equaitons of exponential functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using exponents.
Curated OER
Leap Into Exponential Functions
Young scholars use properties of exponents to solve equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.
Curated OER
Students Analyze Data With Scatter Plots
Scatter plot lessons can help students create different types of graphs by hand or with the aid of technology.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Quadratic Equations With the Cbl 2
Students will generate parabolas using the motion sensor. They will then determine the vertex form of the equation and compare it to the regression equation from the calculator.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Fitting Quadratic and Exponential Functions to Scatter Plots
Determine if a quadratic or exponential model fits a data set better, then use the model to make a prediction. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
