Students engaged in practice for a physical fitness exam. The practice is beneficial for overall student fitness. The instructor measures key factors of health that include height and weight.

Students discuss the role of trade and a global economy. As a class, they identify the costs and benefits of trade and how it is being questioned in today's society. They discover what is imported to the United States and the role of...

Students explore a case study of a hearing impaired person. They evaluate obstacles the patient may face in a school setting. Students determine strategies to help the patient adapt to his hearing loss. They present their solutions to...

Students explore examining something through one sense but experience competing input with another. The lesson also shows the plasticity of the brain and other cognitive functions.

Students describe their current mood in several complete sentences. They compare their moods with moods set by authors through the tone of their writing. Students read a teacher prepared handout about mood/tone of writing. They write...

Students create and publish a newspaper based on Arthurian literature and history. After completing a class read of "King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table," students work in groups to write an article based on their...

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat. ...

In this secondary mathematics lesson, learners investigate the uses and capabilities of a TI-89 application designed for mechanical engineering students. The app contains over 700 pieces of reference information and organized into...

Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this lesson. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine the maximum for...

Students investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry instructional activity, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Students graph their results and...

Students explore linear relationships. In this sixth through eighth grade mathematics lesson plan, students explore the symbolic representation of verbal descriptions of mathematical rules defining the relationship between two variables.

Pupils explore a method of checking the sum or difference of polynomials by graphing the problem and the simplified answer and comparing the graphs. 

Learnerss engage in a study of quadratic functions and how the coefficient of x^2 has on the graph of it. They study the quadratic function for review with the help of index cards. The lesson includes a resource link to align the it with...

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Pupils practice examining the tangent to a function to estimate the value of the function near the point of tangency. They view errors associated with those approximations, determine overestimates and find intervals that guarantee a...

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.

Learners use a Colorimetric test to measure pH and gain the importance to life in an aquatic ecosystem pH is. They explore the dramatic effect pH level can have on a water body. Learners test the pH level of many water samples.

Learners draw triangles on their graphing calculators using the Cabri Junior application. In this graphing calculator lesson, students follow step by step directions to create triangles on their calculator. They identify the type of...

Learners explore a perspective application of the TI-73. In this middle school mathematics activity, students view the front, back, right, and left views of a city to determine the height of each building in a city plan.

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Students list all equations needed to solve a three variable equation using the Method of Lagrange, after first signing an honor pledge to promise that they have followed the rules on the first page. They solve each equation, telling the...

In this math worksheet, students write down the three equations which need to be solved in order to maximize P subject to the constraint.

In this implicit differentiation worksheet, students use the microscope approximation method and Euler's method to approximate values at a given point. This two-page worksheet contains five problems.
