Efficiently graph a quadratic function using transformations! Pupils graph quadratic equations by completing the square to determine the transformations. They locate the vertex and determine more points from a stretch or shrink and...

Students see that earnings drive stock prices. More importantly, students look for earnings growth from the continuing operations of a business.

Create a human fraction to learn about division of exponents. Scholars develop the rule for division of exponents by being part of a human fraction to explore and justify the rule. They also consider zero exponents and negative exponents.

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

Win the war of the worlds! Scholars solve a variety of problems related to an alien invasion. They determine where spaceships have landed on a coordinate map, devise a plan to avoid the aliens, observe the aliens, and break a code to...

Learners discover the magic in mathematics as they solve numerical puzzles involving magic sums. They then make a conjecture as to why no additional examples are possible based on an analysis of the puzzles.

Learn the stories a formula holds. An interesting lesson takes a unique approach to teach how to use formulas. Beginning with a formula, learners predict what the variables stand for and then use the formula to make calculations and tell...

Mathematicians explore cubic functions by learning how to investigate the relationship between the x-coordinates of the three zeros of a cubic function.  The lesson also contains an application of differentiation. 

In this substitution and evaluation worksheet, students solve and complete 22 different problems that include using the substitution method of variables. First, they evaluate each expression for the given variable. Then, students solve...

Students graph linear http://www.lesson planplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson plan, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon,...

Emerging engineers perform pre-lab calculations in this first of a three-part lesson on model building. They determine the forces of tension and compression in a truss. After completion of the worksheet, pupils will draw a draft of their...

Kimi and Jordan have taken summer jobs to supplement their weekly allowances. Kimi earns more per hour than Jordan, but Jordan's weekly allowance is greater. This activity asks students to determine how the incomes of the two workers...

This activity presents a real-world problem about an epidemic of influenza spreading through a city. Learners refer to a graph that shows the number of individuals infected in relation to the number of weeks that have elapsed since...

A different way to look at integers is on this number line with variables in place of numbers. Learners are to look at different expressions and describe why they think the answer would be positive or negative, depending on the location...

Algebra learners are to make sense of two different-sized sand trucks and the number of trips each truck makes. The resource lists four different expressions based on the size of each truck and the number of deliveries the trucks make....

Your young landscapers do concentration calculations in this problem dealing with mixing fertilizer. Learners use and analyze rational expressions within this context.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

After watching a video on making conversions, young mathematicians solve 16 math problems that involve making conversions of fractions to decimals and percents, decimals to fractions and percents, and percents to fractions and...

After watching a video on conversions, learners convert meters to feet, dollars to pounds, pounds to Euros, gallons to liters, and kilometers to miles. Then, they graph the conversion changes onto graph templates.

The concept of absolute value can be difficult for learners to grasp. Reinforce their understanding of a basic absolute value expression and connect it to solving equations and inequalities. Scholars write two equations/inequalities to...

What do you create when you rotate a ray? An angle! Teach all the angle basics including naming, measuring, supplements, and complements. 

Create a strong understanding of the relationships formed when parallel lines intersect a transversal. Discuss each type of angle pair and their relationship to each other. 

Help learners understand that perimeter and circumference are one in the same. Learners apply their skills to determine the perimeter/circumference of triangles, rectangles, and circles. They then use the same strategy to find the...

Did you know you can send a message using only zeroes and ones? This interactive resource presents an introduction to binary numbers. Through code cards, pupils learn to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers.
