Students participate in a lesson that covers the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. The teacher covers relevant vocabulary with the students. They work in groups to measure objects and calculate the formula to find the...

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. They use a review of patterns with numbers for a warm-up activity.Then the teacher does examples with the students attempting to find the pattern.

Students use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Students solve inequalities problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. In this geometry activity, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops,...

Young scholars create a simple table in order to solve a problem. As a class, they create a simple data table in order to discover the number of letters in each student's name. This data is interpreted in order to answer questions and...

Eleventh graders investigate arithmetic sequences.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders create an arithmetic sequence and explore the effect of each variable in the formula of the nth term of an arithmetic...

Have your class create parallel lines. Students will learn how to identify the different angles created by a parallel line cut by a transversal. Then, they identify and name similar and different angles.

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Learners identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus lesson, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

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.

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

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.

Students identify critical points on a graph. In this calculus lesson, students graph their equations on the TI calculator. They zoom in and out to identify the critical points.

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus lesson. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to analyze it.

Young mathematicians solve the volume using the disk method in this calculus instructional activity. They revolve a graph around the x-axis and calculate the volume. They use the TI to see the revolving around the x-axis and create a...

Solve problems using the fundamental theorem. In this calculus lesson, students solve problems using theorems and proving theorems. They derive the fundamental theorem as they study it.

Students investigate the fundamental theorem of calculus. In this calculus lesson, students derive the fundamental theorem of calculus. They differentiate between the first and second theorem.

Students solve exponential and log functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph natural log and logarithmic functions. They compare and contrast between logs and the exponential graphs. 

Young scholars graph Taylor polynomials. In this calculus lesson, students relate accuracy of a Taylor polynomial to the degree of the equation. They graph their polynomials using the TI calculator.

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other...
