Learners watch as the teacher demonstrates that y=ln(x) and y=e^x are inverse functions. They graph these equations on the same axes. Students work other log functions. They learn a Reggae Song about the log of the quotient. Learners...

Not all functions are created equal. Pupils apply regression analysis using polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions to investigate the relationship between variables and to decide which function would be best to model the...

Ninth graders investigate the functional relationship of different environmental phenomena. For this math lesson, 9th graders create models of various natural disasters. They use logarithmic and exponential functions to interpret...

It's time for a family reunion—function families, that is. Pupils first review different types of parent functions. They then see how to apply transformations to graphs and learn how to select the most appropriate type of function to...

Learners use optimization concepts to design their own container. In this optimization lesson plan, students understand how the optimization concept is critical in calculus and why products are packaged the way they are.

Tenth graders create polynomial quilts. For this polynomials lesson, 10th graders use concrete models, such as construction paper, to create various shapes described. Students use the FOIL method to multiply terms and to get a square...

Students examine how a Richter scale operates. They create a booklet illustrating each rating on the scale. They discover how engineers use different measurement tools.

Students design a new classroom workplace. In this architecture lesson, students use area formulas to identify the problem with the existing desks in their classroom. Students design their own solution volume formulas to solve the...

Students work together on a word problem. They write a written report of the answer. They participate in a chessgame in which the answers are used.
