Texas Instruments
Logistic Growth, Differential Equations, Slope Fields
Investigate differential equations with your class. They use the TI-89 to explore differential equations analytically, graphically, and numerically as the examine the relationships between each of the three approaches.
Curated OER
Numerical Analysis/ Other Root-finding Methods
For this math worksheet, students examine the uses of false position, Newton’s and Secant methods of finding the root of an equation.
Curated OER
Slope Fields
Students sketch a slope field for a given differential equation, given a slope field. They also match a slope field to a differential equation and match a slope field to a solution of a differential equation. Finally, students use a...

InteGreat
Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...
Curated OER
Giving and Taking Directions
Students write set of written directions from their craft area in either chart or paragraph form, and give the directions orally to a third party who will listen to the directions and complete the task.
Curated OER
Lady Macbeth's Cure
Students role-play the position of Lady Macbeth's nurse. They are to create a project or service that can cure her sleepwalking. They create their own commerical to sell their product.
Curated OER
Symmetric Secant
Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson plan, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.
Curated OER
Decoding Nazi Secrets
Students practice decoding messages given the key. They continue to practice solving messages without a key. They must determine the best way to view the message. They examine secret messages during World War II.
Curated OER
Translations, Reflections and Rotations
Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Properties of Logarithms
Students explore the concept of logarithms. In this logarithms instructional activity, students discuss the logarithm properties. Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting...
Curated OER
Less is More: Realizing Mathematics Through Agriculture
Students study the architectural designs of different popular sites. In this math lesson, students draw a grid diagram. They explain what geodesic algorithms are used for.
Curated OER
Diameter, Radius and Area
Students calculate the diameter, radius and area of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the different ratios of a circle. They calculate the surface are of each circle.
Curated OER
Cross Section and Slope
Students draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.
Curated OER
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Fractals
Young scholars explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson plan, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Young scholars develop these concepts through exploration and...
Curated OER
Estimating the Square- Root of Ten
In this algebra worksheet, students estimate the square root. They rewrite the root as an exponential function and solve. They use the correct function notation. There are 10 questions.
Curated OER
Introduction to Limits
Twelfth graders problem solve limit/function value situations. They solve the problems using a graphing calculator, which allows them to see the function's graph, and infer the function value and limit from the graph.
