Lesson Plans and Worksheets
I work with students that range from year 1 to year 12, approx 30 with various Special Needs and esl. Because of the range in year levels and subjects covered it is impossible to find time to make my own resources for many of the lessons. Lesson Planet has become a realiable source to gain information and ideas.

Sixth graders use the computer program Blellow to help them solve algebraic functions. In this algebra lesson plan, 6th graders use the online source to help them when they cannot solve the problems on their own.
Students solve quadratic equations through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratics and investigate the relationship to the real world. They model real life scenario using equations.
Students investigate exponential growth and decay. In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson, students collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx. Students explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function.
Students investigate mathematics as it relates to the real world. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve quadratic equations and graph their results on a coordinate plane. They model quadratics and apply the quadratic formula to solve equations.
Students graph polynomials functions and analyze the end behavior. In this algebra lesson plan, student differentiate between the different polynomials based on the exponents. They use a TI to help with the graphing.
Students identify properties of a line. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and nonfunctions. They use the slope and y intercept to graph their lines.
Students solve problems relating to piece-wise functions, step functions and decomposition/composition of functions. In this functions lesson, students utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the lesson by including links to calculus comic strips.
Students explore the TI-92. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students examine the applications and functions of the TI-92. Students investigate symbolic manipulation, 2D and 3D graphing, the interactive geometry module and the programming and text editor.
Students solve words problems using algebra. In this algebra lesson, students work in-groups creating a poster-board with ideas and steps that will help them organize and solve word problems using real life scenarios.
Students calculate a problem involving distance and inverse trigonometric functions. Given a situation involving an a painting at an art gallery, students calculate the distance a student would need to stand in order to gain the best view of a painting.
