Seventh graders practice math skills while they become familiar with Texas' Boom & Bust economy and the natural history of the east Texas Piney Woods.

The class solves systems of linear inequalities. They graph lines and identify the point of intersection.They graph lines and identify the boundary that represent the solution and solution set.

Students solve systems of inequalities. For this lesson, they identify the solution of the two lines and shade the solution. They identify the boundary line and the region representing the solution.

Learners find the area of a region between two curves. They integrate functions such as sin(x) and cos(x) on a given interval and find the area bounded by the two functions. Pupils use their TI-89 to aid them in finding the bounded...

Learners match a given velocity graph and sketch the corresponding position graph using a graphing calculator. After collecting data from their everyday life, students use specific functions on their calculators to create graphs and...

Pupils are introduced to the Caddo Indians of Texas. Using a compass, they draw a circle given specific dimensions and cut them out. Using the text, they read one section abut the Indians and complete the task listed on one of their...

Students solve the area of a cross section. In this calculus lesson, students solve areas rotated and bounded by two functions. They solve using the washer method.

Young scholars explore quartic functions in this calculus lesson. They investigate an application of derivatives and definite integrals, then explore the question of which of the "three bumps" of a quartic is the largest.

Seventh graders view overhead maps of Texas, explore history of Aldrige Sawmill, and practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and natural history of east Texas Piney Woods.

Seventh graders view a recent transparency of the average rainfall zones of the state of Texas. Using another transparency, they identify the Piney Woods subregion of the Gulf Coastal Plain and locate national forests and sawmills. ...

This instructional activity enables teachers to use blues styles and performers to think about various geographical regions of the United States. By studying different blues styles from the Mississippi Delta, Texas, and the Piedmont...

students define the alpha level. In this statistics lesson, students identify what makes the "null rejected" and discuss the data surrounding the null. They observe the meaning of alpha as it relates to the bell curve.

Students graph exponential and power functions. In this statistics lesson, students test a specific hypotheses and draw conclusion. They use the graph of polynomials to test and draw their conclusions.

Pupils practice sample questions from the AP Calculus Exam. They solve calculus problems involving bounded regions, integration, derivatives, and limits. They then answer free response and multiple choice questions on the above mentioned...

Students examine an ISS EarthKAM image of farm land in Texas and New Mexico. They select sample region of image and count the number of fields in that region. They estimate how many fields are in the entire region.

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Students read articles about various agricultural products and create a map using the statistics in the article.  In this agricultural statistics lesson, students look at the geography of the country and which products come from the...

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

Learn how to evaluate the derivatives of polynomials.  Mathematicians find the derivative of a quadratic function and determine the value at a given value.  Students compare the slope of the secant line through two points with...

Learners investigate the area of various figures. They construct triangles and quadrilaterals using Cabri Jr. and discuss the relationships between different angles, side lengths, and figures.

Fifth graders make a graph and write an essay to interpret the data of birds that take advantage of habitats near rice farms. In this data lesson plan, 5th graders calculate the information given to them and interpret it in an essay form.

Seventh graders practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and the natural history of the east Texas Piney Woods. They utilize worksheets and websites imbedded in this plan.

Second graders investigate rice or gohan as it's called in Japan in a couple of experiments. They tally the results.

Students explore where agricultural commodities used in snack foods are grown. They choose a snack food and locate the top five states that produce the food that the snack is made from.
