It's not so straightforward — lines can model a variety of applications. Pupils experience linear relationships within the context of science, including Hooke's and Ohm's Laws. Class members got a taste of motion and speed from the...

Young scholars investigate systems of linear inequalities as they apply to an area of land. They practice graphing systems and determine if a point lies in the solution. 

Learners investigate surveying in this secondary mathematics lesson. They will explore a real world application of geometry and trigonometry as they create a plot plan using a geometry utility and calculate the area of the land parcel.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson plan, students integrate the function to find the area under the curve. They use the Ti to create a visual of the graph.

Oh that Pythagorean Theorem is so useful. Learners engage in a 45 minute learning activity that requires them to solve for missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They'll use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the rations of sides and...

Learners differentiate and calculate the length of an arc. They define an arc and relate it to the area of a circle and integrate the function to solve the equations. High schoolers use their TI calculators to graph the equation.

Learners calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students use Riemann Sums to find the area under a curve. They apply the boundaries of intervals as they solve for each area.

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.

Students calculate the determinant. In this algebra lesson, students find the determinant and use to calculate the area of a triangle. They calculate the area of a quadrilateral in a plane.

Have the class factor and solve trinomials of integers in the form x2 + bx + c, where b and c are positive. They relate factoring to area and then follow a specific format to factor their trinomials. Tiles are used to help them...

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

Students analyze the numbers of male vs female administrators and teachers from their school. In this gender equality lesson plan, students use school yearbooks from the 1950's threw present to count how many male vs. female teachers,...

Nested triangles have been created so that they share a common vertex and vertex angle. Learners drag the endpoints of the side that is opposite the common angle to discover the conditions that make the nested triangles similar. When...

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.

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Teach your math lovers how to solve linear equations by graphing. Young scholars identify pairs of coordinates and use it to graph a line and use the TI to graph and observe the line.

In 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 learn that maintaining financial security takes a good math understanding. In this lesson, students apply mathematical formulas to make important financial decisions like getting the right loan to buy a house, decide which...

Learners relate Pi to a circle. In this circles lesson, students identify the different properties of two dimensional objects. They relate Pi to the circumference, diameter and area of a circle .

Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Second graders explore careers in mathematics. For this careers lesson, the teacher leads a discussion about occupations that require math, then students create a short skit about a job that uses math. Lesson includes extension ideas.

Students investigate polygons and their lattice. In this calculus lesson, students record data using different methods. They analyze their data and draw conclusions based on the relationship between the area and the interior lattice.
