Curated OER
Applications of Triangles
Students apply the properties of a right triangle. In this triangle lesson, students describe and compare radians to degrees. They solve problems using the properties and ratios of a right triangle.
Curated OER
How Tall is that Tree?
Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.
Curated OER
Taylor Polynomials
Pupils graph Taylor polynomials in this calculus lesson plan. They observe the graphs for the expansion of Taylor polynomial functions and use the Ti calculator to help create visuals of the graphs.
Curated OER
La Toteca- A Tropical Paradise
Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.
Curated OER
Saving Energy Through Ecological Landscape Design
High schoolers are able to transcribe to scale the plant features of a common landscape. They determine true north and south and collect and record data on a table. Students calculate a rating for and describe a definition of...
Curated OER
Exploring Centers of Triangles
Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.
