Lesson Idea 1:
Target Audience -- Middle School Students
Big Idea and Goals -- To familiarize students with adding polynomials using a "Gizmo" (an interactive simulation that makes concepts easier to understand and fun to learn) on the Learning Center Website. The students will be able to explore exponents on their own and work in small groups in order to research the main concepts through the use of this internet software.

Lesson Idea 2:
Target Audience -- Higher Level Calculus Students
Big Idea and Goals -- Students will explore the topic of Extreme Values on their graphing calculator. They will be given a functions and their intervals to graph. They will then need to sketch their findings, compare the graphs' maximum and minimum values, and then use F '(x) in order to compare the functions' extreme value. The students will need to present their calculations in order to get credit for showing their work.

Lesson Idea 3:
Target Audience -- High School Geometry Students
Big Idea and Goals -- Students will use Geometer's Sketchpad to guide them while exploring, identifying, describing, and comparing triangles. They will get acquainted with the shapes on paper and then will be working in collaborative groups in order to come up with a tangible idea of the different triangles that can be constructed.
