Students program a TI-Basic calculator. In this calculator programming instructional activity, students explore how to create and graph a linear equation. Students study how to input variables into the function and read the graph output.

Students learn the uses of the TI-83 calculator for statistical operations.

For this graphing calculator worksheet, students complete 11 operations on the calculator.  Students enter absolute value, exponents, radicals, fractions, mixed numbers, etc.

Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson plan, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships...

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.

Texas Instruments and Glencoe/McGraw-Hill have put together a full lesson to help you instruct your math class. Using the textbook, a TI-83 calculator, and attached the PDF learners will solve systems of equations and state decimal...

Used along with data collection devices, the EasyData Application for the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 calculator allows learners to use real data to learn math and science. Statistics, curve fits, and integrals are used to analyze the...

Explore parabolas and investigate linear and quadratic functions to solve problems symbolically and graphically. Also use parametric functions to display trajectories on a graphing calculator.

Young analysts examine changes in the nutria population, vegetation density, and marsh area over time in the wetlands of Louisiana. They import data and use the TI-73 Explorer to graph and analyze the effects of nutria on marsh loss.

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this lesson focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion follows the...

Learners solve linear equations. By observing the graph of each side of an equation using the TI-nspire graphing calculator, your class gains insight into solutions, as well as balancing equations and transforming linear equations....

Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

Those graphing calculators can be tricky; good thing Texas Instruments has devised a lesson on how to use their TI-Nspire calculator to graph functions. Kids investigate functional notation as they graph ordered pairs in the form (a,...

Explore parabolas in this algebra activity with the graphing calculator. The class investigates what effects the changing of the parameters of the vertex form of a quadrati have to its graph. They find the zeros of a quadratic...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Students conduct experiments with plants.  In this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

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.

Learners explore matrix multiplication and problem solve using matrix multiplication. They design a table that will display cost and profit for three cookie stores. 

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Learners solve equations by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

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

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...

Students identify the standard deviation. In this statistics lesson plan, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.

Students evaluate rational functions. In this precalculus lesson, students make observations and define what makes a rational function and what makes a linear function. They use the Ti calculator to visualize the different graphs.
