Is there a correlation between a country's wealth and the extent of its ecological footprint? What exactly constitutes an ecological footprint, and how does one country stack up against the rest? This is a unique lesson to incorporate...

Students use statistics to study attributes of a local center for pregnant teenagers. They apply mean, median, mode and a correlation study between two variables.

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. High schoolers extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

Learners investigate trigonometric function.  In this Algebra II activity, high schoolers explore functional notation and transformational graphing of trigonometric functions. 

Investigate polynomial multiplication with the TI-nspire handheld calculator. Using the applications on this calculator, learners explore multiplication of numbers, binomials, a binomial by a polynomial, and polynomials. The dynamic...

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Through exploration of linear programming through graphs and equations of inequalities, students relate linear programming to real life scenarios, such as business. Graphing and shading is also part of this exercise.

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Young scholars repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

Transformations of parabolas to fit a particular quadratic equation is taught through this lesson plan.  In this transforming parabolas to fit a particular quadratic equation lesson plan, learners describe the transformations of the...

Students explore trigonometric identities.   In this Algebra II lesson, students use graphing to verify the reciprocal identities.  Using Cabri Jr, students investigate the Pythagorean trigonometric identities and the...

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing angles, students evaluate right triangles and their properties.

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...

Mathematicians use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide. Finally, students complete the Student...

Explore lines tangent to a circle. For this math lesson, high schoolers manipulate circles and lines on a TI calculator. They draw a circle  and analyze perpendicular lines intersecting the circle in only one place. This activity...

Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles students will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).

Students describe the differences of people living in developed and underdeveloped countries. They also identify how each type of country uses their resources. They develop an ecological footprint of the countries discussed.

Seventh graders explore the Eastern Hemisphere. They investigate the customs, currency, climate, location and other facts needed in order to travel to a specific country. Students receive a stamp on their "passport" when their research...

Explore the concept of money and research its origin. There are many concepts related to business math, thusly, there are many formulas used to make calculations around money. Exchange rates of money in different countries, interest,...

Pupils collect temperatures using a probe and examine data.  In this temperature lesson students complete an activity using a graphing calculator. 

Young scholars investigate linear programming using the TI. In this algebra lesson, students collaborate and graph linear inequalities on a TI. They analyze their data and present it to the class.

Students study the reason why time zones exist and how they are established. They predict time zones for different places on Earth.

Middle schoolers utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and...
