Students discuss the benefits of volunteering. In this creating volunteers instructional activity, students consider philanthropic actions and opportunity costs. Students create a song and visual aid about being a volunteer.

Learners differentiate and calculate the length of an arc. They define an arc and relate it to the area of a circle and integrate the function to solve the equations. Students use their TI calculators to graph the equation.

Students graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus lesson plan, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.

Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.

Learners calculate the limits of functions. In this calculus lesson, students find the left and right handed limits of different functions. They use the Ti Navigator to drag the function around as they study limits.

Learners graph the derivative of functions in this calculus lesson. They use the TI to graph their functions and algebraically take the derivative of each function. They then create a visual and analyze the graph.

Students solve equations using a given derivative. In this calculus lesson, students identify the rise of fall of each function. They use the calculator to find the derivative.

Pupils examine graphs for continuity and differentiability in this calculus instructional activity. They observe piecewise functions to see where continuity and differentiability come into play. Learners finish by graphing their equation...

Learn how to investigate the change in a graph by dragging the cursor to observe the change in the function. They use the TI calculator to graph their parabola.

Students calculate the slopes of secant lines. In this calculus lesson plan, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

Learners explore the graph of a function. In this calculus lesson, students identify when and where the graph is increasing or decreasing. They identify if it concave up or down by moving the cursor.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson,students calculate the area by integrating the equation. They calculate the volume of cylindrical shapes created between graphs.
