I subscribed to Lesson Planet after I started teaching science at my district's alternative school. Science isn't my specialty so it has been a real life saver! I am able to find lots resources to enrich my lessons! It's a tremendous time saver too! Why reinvent the wheel?

Using a spreadsheet, computer values of functions and intervals, learners identify the domain, range and zeros of basic functions. They examine the inverse of several basic functions.
Compare functions in algebra equations. Algebra 1 learners analyze eight basic graph shapes and solve verbal problems involving the choice between two functions. They choose among the graph shapes the ones that fit specific algebra situations.
Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and exponential functions in a series of hands-on lessons that include worksheets, assessments, and answer keys.
Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a review of linear functions.
What is the highest point of an upside down parabola called? It's called the maximum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.
What is the lowest point of a 'U' shaped parabola called? It's called the minimum of a quadratic function, also known as, the vertex.
Here is an unexpected resource: chapter 1 of an Algebra 1 text. You can use all or some of its contents to teach your Middle Schoolers all about algebraic expression, domain, function notation, linear equations, order of operations, input/output, ordered pairs, and variable expressions. This would be great for a substitute or newer teacher looking for reliable tools.
In this integer instructional activity, students use counters or a number line to help add a total of 15 integers, then use mental math to find missing addends. Students then complete 2 algebra function and 2 test prep questions. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
Here's a real-world lesson using a business simulation. Two business accounts are used to find slope and intercept functions. The class graphs and interprets the information to find a break even point. There are plenty of worksheets and assessments included in this lesson.
Students use their graphing calculators to graph quadratic functions. In this graphing quadratic functions lesson plan, students plot points and determine functions.
