Students define the slope of a line as rate of change. They investigate positive, negative, zero, or undefined slope using a graphing calculator. They determine the slope of a line when given the equation of the line.

Students explore how to graph a linear inequality. They determine if a point is in the solution set. Students solve linear inquality application problems. They graph linear equations, and solve linear equations for a given variable.

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

Students explore basic cloud types and the weather associated with each one.  In this earth science lesson, students participate in numerous activities including going outside to observe the clouds they see, making a cloud in a...

Twelfth graders use all features of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power Point to create charts and graphs. They use charts and graphs to make a Power Point Presentation.

Pupils explore the concept of distance and time as they use a CBR to mimic distance v. time graphs. Learners walk towards and away from the monitor to create various distance v. time graphs, then discuss what motion creates certain graphs.

Students make mathematical argument using the concept of Limit. In this algebra instructional activity, student calculate the instantaneous rate of change from the linear graph. They use a TI-calculator to create a visual of the graphs.

Students use a variety of Web sites to obtain specific information about the campaign finances of different Presidential hopefuls. They create graphs that illustrate all of the aspects of campaign finances researched,
