In this function families activity, students graph 6 families of absolute value equations on a graphing calculator and transfer a sketch to graph paper. Students then answer 8 questions to identify the vertex.

Students calculate the amount of minutes they get charged for each month. For this algebra lesson, students relate linear equations to talking on the phone and the cost to do so. They create graph to plot the cost and usage of the cell...

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that their...

Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography lesson, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout the...

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Young scholars explore concept of functions as relationships, as machines, as equations, and as graphs.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

In this quadratic equations worksheet, high schoolers read notes about graphing, factoring, square roots, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. Students read 2 1/2 pages of notes.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Students factor and solve systems of equation. In this algebra activity, students identify the point of intersection using substitution, elimination and graphing. They write an equation given a system and a graph.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

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 identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Students examine real-world data relating to real estate. They conduct Internet research, record data regarding real estate in major cities, graph the data, calculate mortgage payments using a mortgage calculator, and analyze the data.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Young scholars investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different...

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Students define vocabulary words. In this geometry activity, students identify the graph as a line, ray or segments. They understand the properties of each and calculate the distance on a number line. 

In this right or left instructional activity, students study a graph with colored shapes on it, then choose either right or left to tell where each shape is located.

Students investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.
