Youngsters learn about simple machines that could be used on a farm.  They learn about agricluture, listen to a farmer speak, compare and contrast different farm machines, and then design their own. Note that although the publisher...

In this secondary mathematics lesson, learners investigate the uses and capabilities of a TI-89 application designed for mechanical engineering students. The app contains over 700 pieces of reference information and organized into...

Learners differentiate between translation, reflection and rotation. They explore the 3 types of transformation using Cabri Jr. and build on previous knowledge in this lesson.

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Learners investigate the Golden Ratio in this algebra I or geometry instructional activity. They explore the Golden Ratio as the conduct an experiment in which they collect various measurement from their team members and find the...

Learners engage in a lesson about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches the...

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

Students investigate equations that are in the standard form of a quadratic equation represented as Y=ax2+bx+c. They factor the equations into linear factors to determine the x intercepts. The graph is also used to determine the x...

Pupils collect data from tossing a ball into the air. Using a data collection device, they graph the data, set a window, and analyze the height of the toss, how long the ball was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models...

High Schoolers engage in a study of quadratic functions and focus upon the finding of equivalence and its connection between functions. They also practice factoring using the FOIL method while manipulating the equation. The lesson also...

Learnerss engage in a study of quadratic functions and how the coefficient of x^2 has on the graph of it. They study the quadratic function for review with the help of index cards. The lesson includes a resource link to align the it with...

Pupils review horizontal and vertical shifts of a parabola and how they effect a specific quadratic formula. They play a basketball review game in which they try to find the right quadratic equation for a given problem in order to earn...

Learners practice finding the areas and patterns within a square and explore the concept of quadratic functions. They observe and record the area values in a table, plot a graph of Area versus Distance and complete a variety of student...

Root vegetables inspire the series of activities included here. Class members participate in activities related to language arts, social studies, science, visual art, and math. At first, the long list might feel overwhelming; however,...

Students explore a basic triangle construction. In this beginning geometry instructional activity, students investigate the steps to necessary to create an equilateral triangle with Cabri Jr.;

Questions are randomly created to quiz students on probabilities associated with games. Hints and solutions are included.

Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities, using dice, cards, spinners, or coin tosses. Three different probabilities can be compared at once.

The learning tool calculates the probability of a binomial distribution.
