Wild pandas are treated at the Wolong Conservation Center in this video segment from Nature.

Students will look at their schoolyard and determine where a puddle will form after a heavy rain. They will map the school yard and draw chalk lines to demonstrate their predictions. After a rain children will check their predictions and...

Students examine the USA TODAY Snapshot "More of U.S.", construct a graph from the data, produce a mathematical model (linear) for the data, determine the rate of change for the data, and make predictions about future population levels.

Students will examine the current and predicted population data from the countries included in the USA TODAY Snapshot "Growing bigger by the decade".

This activity is set up as a game in which paired students each pick a function and predict the area between the two curves without knowing the other person's function. The students then find the area between the functions and determine...

Since running a race car is VERY expensive, race engineers know a great deal about how speed, time and distance relate. In this activity, you will investigate the relationship between distance traveled, speed and elapsed time. You will...

In this activity, students use the TI InterActive! and exponential functions to predict if, and when, women will better the men's record in the marathon event in the Olympic games.

This activity is adapted from one of the TI books. Students measure lengths and widths of rectangles and record for the class to see. Each group's rectangle has the same perimeter, but different areas. After a discussion, students make...
