Solving Systems of Equation using a TI-83/84 & Gauss-Jordan Elimination
This handout explains how to use the reduced row echelon form (RREF) function in the TI-83/84 to solve system of equations problems. It also includes an explanation of the Gauss-Jordan Elimination Method upon which the function is based. The handout includes pictures to show the proper buttons that must be selected to properly use the function. It also includes an explanation of how to interpret the results.

Math Lab:Exponential Functions and Seed Overproduction vs Time/DISTANCE LEARNING
My students totally enjoy doing the following math lab! They invariably find it to be both fun to do as well as informative. They readily relate to discussions within.
* Students work with a partner
* Students begin by a brief discussion about seed overproduction
* Students are provided with assumptions used to complete the lab
* Students work collaboratively to determine the number of seeds in a bell pepper
* Students find the average number of seeds in a bell pepper using the totals

Exponential Logarithm Trigonometric Activities and Labs
This project set includes 8 projects that are cooperative learning, hands-on labs. Students collect data that fit exponential, logarithmic, or trigonometric patterns. Students will create equations from the data and use the equations to make predictions. Many of the equations students create will be through the regression process on graphing calculators or spreadsheets.

Linear Relationship Labs
This project has 1 sample lab to complete together as a class and 6 other labs that create a linear relationship.
Students work through the labs collecting data and then analyze the data to create equations, use calculators or spreadsheets to create regression equations (best fit lines), and use the equations to make predictions.

Lab - Exponential functions: Doubling times and growth rates
This is a lab that I have used for years to teach my students about exponential functions. It is quite large, and I usually assign it as a major project. If a student can work through the entire lab on his or her own, that student should have no problems with the unit test. I touch on applications from biology, economics, and chemistry; so that the subject doesn't seem like a dry mathematical topic.

Lab - Equations of a Line
This is an assignment I created to give students a little bit of practice with equations of lines, instead of just repeating the mantra "y equals mx plus b" by rote. This lab is also available as part of my unit package, if you would like to purchase the teachers' notes as well.

The Survival of the Florida Manatee
Are you interested in the survival of the Florida Manatee? In this activity the student will investigate the effect of power boat registrations and the effect on the mortality of the Florida Manatee. Topics covered in this activity are graphing data, determining if a relationship exists between the variable, calculating a linear equation of best fit, making projections. A spreadsheet software or graphing calculator is suggested for this activity.

Vertical Motion Exploration Math Lab - Discovering through Inquiry
Do you have those students that always ask about how this relates to real life? This math lab is the solution. Students will work through an experiment just like they would in science class to discover through self-inquiry that vertical motion is best represented with parabolas and quadratic functions. The experiment allows students to discover this phenomena through inquiry and data collection. After collecting data, students will have their "a-ha" moment. Students will quickly be able to

MaLab Complementary and Supplementary Angles from Light Rays/DISTANCE LEARNING
Students have a great time with this lab learning about complementary and supplementary angles as seen through the following activity using light rays!
* Students begin the activity by defining Complementary and Supplementary angles
* Students observe light traveling in straight, parallel lines through the teeth of a comb
* Students learn about angles of incidence and angles of reflection using light, the comb and a mirror.
* Students calculate the complements and supplements to the ang

Geogebra Photo Functions
This lesson integrates technology to allow students to explore families of functions. Students must know translations of quadratic functions in order to complete this activity. Further knowledge of functions is valuable but not necessary.
This lesson also requires the use of Geogebra--a free interactive geometry software. A web version is available, but the instructions are specific for the Windows downloaded version. This lesson could easily be adapted to any Geogebra version.
