Mixing math and art is done in this lesson by applying graphing knowledge to create a unique piece of art. This lesson varies acording to the graphing knowledge of the artist. First, learners identify and review various types of graphing...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part activity, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure...

Learners investigate planning an activity and getting it done on time. In this algebra lesson plan, students define vocabulary words related quadratic equations, including the vertex and intervals. They figure a good way to color graphs...

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

Students explore quadratic functions. In this function family worksheet, students examine the quadratic function and the family of functions. They identify the affects of the shape of the parabola and its position on the coordinate...

Make the most of your prom—with math! Pupils write and use a quadratic model to determine the optimal price of prom tickets. After determining the costs associated with the event, learners use a graph to analyze the break even point(s).

Use mathematics to help the football team. Pairs brainstorm how to approach finding a solution to a problem to help the quarterback complete more passes. By researching and collecting data, the teams derive an equation to represent the...

Students solve equations using the quadratic formula. For this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film students jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula...

What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

What an impressive task it is to make dental impressions! Pupils learn how dentists use proportional reasoning, unit conversions, and systems of equations to estimate the materials needed to make stone models of dental impressions....

Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra lesson, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Learners take photos of objects and write an equation. In this equations with photos lesson, students take pictures of objects around the school that have the shape of mathematical items learned in class. Learners also draw in an x-axis...

Leaners investigate families of linear functions through dance. They choreograph dance moves to model nine unique linear functions of their choosing. Using their dance moves, teams create a video presentation complete with music and...
