Young scholars explore the concept of angles formed by parallel lines.They graph two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then measure the angles formed by the transversal and record the data in a table. Learners make conjectures about...

Learners find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet. Using this data, they create scatter plots of the sequences to determine how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio. They will consider whether series...

Learners collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx.  Learners explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function. 

Pupils relate real life situation to the equations, graphs and inequalities. They model real life scenarios using matrices and draw conclusions from their data. This lesson plan is aligned with FCAT.

Learners explore the concept of distance v. time. They use a CBR to collect data on their distance over time, then plot their data using a scatter plot and find an equation to model their data. Pupils discuss what if scenarios which...

Learners explore logic and use Geometer’s Sketchpad and patterns of logic to solve a puzzle.

Although graphing a linear inequality on the plane is but a few steps added onto the graphing of a linear equation, for many learners the logical leap is quite intimidating. This approachable PowerPoint presentation breaks graphing...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics instructional activity, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Young scholars analyze data and identify the mean. In this probability instructional activity, students log data in the TI and construct scatter plots from the data. They identify properties of a scatterplot.

Why do athletes load up on carbohydrates the evening before a competition? The instructional activity helps answer this question as it relates the type of food to the amount of energy it contains. After a discussion, scholars...

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

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.

In this data vocabulary worksheet, students search for 16 graph-related words in a word search grid. Each word relates to graphing and collecting data. 

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Students calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry lesson, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates to...

Learners explore mean, median, and mode as they model mathematics in real-world problem situations. The lesson requires the use of the TI 30X IIS.

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,...
