Curated OER
Between The Extremes
Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.
Curated OER
Perimeter
Students explore the concept of perimeter. In this perimeter lesson plan, students discuss how to find perimeter of various shapes. Students use the Perimeter Explorer applet to find the perimeter of various shapes.
Curated OER
Investing
Students collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.
Curated OER
Exponential and Exponents Functions
Students solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.
