New ReviewHow do you graph a sentence? Scholars do just that as they represent relationships between independent and dependent variables with a graphical representation. Given a sentence, they determine the pertinent relationship and create a...

New ReviewMathematicians typically reference eight different types of functions. Scholars learn about the requirements for graphing a function and must decide how many different functions fit. To finish, they define each specific function meeting...

No need to travel ... the lesson will come to you! A well-designed lesson begins by describing the rate of change of a distance-time graph highlighting areas of constant, increasing, and decreasing speed. The video instructor then shows...

Let the pictures do the talking! Young scholars learn to analyze data displayed in pictograms using a video resource. They then test their analytical skills by reading and answering questions using several pictogram examples.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Test this theory as classes learn to represent data with pictograms. A video shows pupils how to use pictograms to create a display of data similar to a dot plot. A pair of worksheets offers...

Called to substitute in a middle school science class? Be prepared! Grab this handy packet as you charge out the door. In the event the permanent teacher left no plans you'll be ready with activities sure to engage young scientists.

Get moving to a better understanding of graphs of derivatives. Using motion sensors, scholars vary their velocities to create graphs of the first derivative of a function. The activity challenges groups to first create a script of the...

Follow the slope in real time. Using graphs created with Desmos, pupils compare the graph of a function to the graph of its derivative. Pairs then work together to create derivative graphs of their own.

Who said teaching a STEM lesson plan had to be challenging? Incorporate a career and technology-centered car build into your upcoming force lesson plan, and your class will be moving down the road in no time! Pupils practice...

How do companies determine the prices of their products? Marketing maestros discover the concepts of cost and break-even point through discussion, independent practice, and a collaborative assessment. The career and technology-oriented...

Have you ever been told that your new car begins to lose its value as soon as you drive it off the lot? Aspiring accountants take on the concepts of depreciation and book value through an easy-to-deliver career and technology lesson. The...

Build up a polynomial. Learners use printed cards to create polynomials. Using a graphing utility, pupils make comparisons between the polynomials they built. To further cement the concept, they build upon their algebraic vocabulary as...

How do you handle common mistakes in your classroom? A graphing activity prepares scholars to recognize common misconceptions when graphing ordered pairs. The activity concentrates on three common graphing mistakes.

Explore a standard method to graph a circle. Given the standard form of the equation of a circle, the segment of a basic geometry playlist shows how to graph the circle. The resource works examples of graphing a circle, finding the...

The logic, rhythm, and beauty of math sometimes get lost amidst numbers and variables. Amplify math's lyricism with a poetry project that uses metaphors and similes to compare mathematical concepts to other images.

What would a graph of your pupils' knowledge look like over time? An inquiry-based lesson asks pupils to create graphs that are a function of time. They use a graph to model speed compared to time and frequency of occurrence over time....

Don't allow your youngsters to lose their way! Help learners understand the Cartesian plane using an interactive lesson. They use applets to learn how to plot points while receiving immediate feedback to help make the concept clear. 

Don't throw a Hail Mary ... score a touchdown with a fun and sporty lesson! Pupils investigate slope and y-intercepts by moving along a football field in the second lesson in a series of three. Using their locations on the field and the...

Develop rules for functional movements. Using a motion detector, groups work to recreate a graph by walking in front of the detector. As they make graphs, the teams learn about linear, exponential, quadratic, and piecewise graphs. They...

Sketch graphs with the Graph Sketcher. Scholars graph functions on a coordinate plane. An interactive makes it as easy as inputting the function and clicking a button.

Open your imagination to make algebra-inspired creations. An interactive lesson has scholars graph images from a set of parameters. Users can practice minimum values, maximum values, and scale as well as key features.

Polar opposites might not work together—but polar coordinates do! The interactive provides learners the opportunity to graph trigonometric and algebraic functions using polar coordinates. The program takes either individual data points...

Systematically find the solution to the inequalities. Using knowledge from graphing a linear inequality, pupils find solutions to systems of linear inequalities. The lesson reviews the rules of where to shade and whether the line is...

What do all the graphs have in common? Working in Excel, pupils create an input/output table using exponential equations. The class members use an interval of input values that include zero and use several simple exponential functions to...
