Growing Patterns and Sequences
Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...
Curated OER
Mixed Expressions and Complex Fractions
Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Complexity
Learners perform mathematical operations on complex numbers. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice performing operations on complex numbers.
Curated OER
Exploding Numbers
Students discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.
Curated OER
Flow Rates of Faucets and Rivers
Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.
Curated OER
Evaluating Using The Order of Operations
Scholars are introduced to the usage of the Order of Operations. They explore the use of variables and how they are represented by any letter of the alphabet. They then engage in discussion for verbal assessment.
Curated OER
Domain and Range of Exponential Functions
Have your class find the domain and range for each function. Learners graph equations using the TI. They find all the x and y values as they relate to the domain and range.

TI-89 Activities for PreCalculus and AP Calculus
Using the TI-89 calculator, students explore the statistical, graphical and symbolic capabilities of the TI-89. Students investigate topics such as solving systems of equations, finding inverse functions, summations, parametrics and...
Curated OER
Squares and Square Roots II
Young scholars evaluate squares and square roots. Through practice, they discover the inverse relationship between squares and square roots. Students take notes, solve square root and square root problems, and classify numbers as...
