Students use manipulatives to explain the concept of dividing multi-digit numbers.

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The lesson...

Students examine an experiment in which 2 types of commercial fish are fed a new type of fish feed and a commercial fish feed which costs ten times as much. They calculate in the fish grow as well with the cheaper fish feed and then...

Students explore how energy transforms into heat.  In this energy lesson students create models and find a need for fuel to make a Stirling engine. 

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

Students understand the importance of physical fitness as part of a healthy lifestyle.  In this health lesson students create a display and presentation about what they learned. 

Young scholars observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Students research principles of flight. They design their own paper airplanes and make predictions about the performance of different designs. Students keep track of their findings in an electronic journal.

Learners examine what it means to be "American" in the eyes of people from other cultures. They explain how people from other cultures may view Americans as a group as being different from themselves and explain why understanding their...

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

High schoolers will investigate geometric construction in this geometry lesson. Your pupils can explore the basic construction of copying an angle, using the constructions tools of Cabri Jr.

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...

High schoolers discover properties of parallelograms as they construct a parallelogram using Cabri Jr. They will measure angles and side lengths of their construction and determine the relationship between the diagonals of a...

In this algebra learning exercise, students investigate a Hamilton cycle by figuring the degrees of the vertices's. There are 3 questions dealing with shapes and brute force.

Learners investigate aircraft design to learn many concepts of physics. In this aircraft design lesson plan, students use balsa wood and styrofoam to build an aircraft based on their study of wing designs, aviation, and through the use...

Students investigate the significance of a healthy breakfast. In this nutrition lesson, students participate in an activity that enables them to assess their own eating patterns. Students also analyze breakfast menus to determine...

First graders consider the importance eating breakfast. In this breakfast foods lesson plan, 1st graders plan meals, examine a variety of breakfast options, and discuss the food groups. Students taste a variety of foods. Extension...

Third graders write a story. In this breakfast authors lesson, 3rd graders write about a breakfast food and why it is a good selection. Students may illustrate stories and share with their peers.

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

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,...

High schoolers investigate properties of parabolas. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the different paths of a parabola. They use the navigator to make observations of the parabola.
