How It Works

If you are ready for some hands-on technology in your math class, try this collection of lesson ideas for using TI calculators(or TI SMARTview on an interactive whiteboard). Requires graphing calculator(s). The site is plain-vanilla, but the content is good. Most activities include both student sheets and also Teacher Notes and Explanations. Includes most high school math subjects and many middle school, as well. Even includes problem-solving strategies. The activities are separated by calculator model, so you can be certain you have an activity that works on your calculators. This collection was created by a high school/college teacher in Ohio, not Texas Instruments.

How It Works

This deceptively simple manipulative helps students master geometric concepts (like flips, turns, and slides) and creative problem-solving skills. Initially, students are presented with six triangular Triominoes that must be matched and "snapped" together using their corner colors. But fairly elaborate constructions can be created by adding as many extra pieces as desired. Turn this into a collaborative activity by having your students take turns adding or realigning pieces. Be sure to read the instructions for helpful tips on using this virtual manipulative. Aligned to standards.

How It Works

This collection of haunting images chronicles the lives of working children in America from 1908 through 1912. The photos, taken by Lewis Hine, reveal the dangerous and dismal conditions in factories, fields, mills, and mines across the United States.

Project these images in your classroom to add some visual realism to a study of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. An excellent primary source to help students understand the significance of the Fair Labor and Standards Act that eventually ended this practice.
