Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Need a real scenario to compare functions? This lesson plan has it all! Through application, individuals model using different types of functions. They analyze each in terms of the context using the key features of the graphs. 

If you know one, you know them all! Parent functions all handle translations the same. This instructional activity examines the quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions. Pupils discover the similarities in the behavior of the...

Learners factor polynomials using the sum and difference of cubes. They also learn connections between the graph and expression.

Why is that graph wider? Pupils learn about stretching and shrinking graphs of square root, absolute value, cubic, and quadratic functions. They study both vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks in addition to reflections. 

Young mathematicians look for patterns in inverse functions as they relate to the original functions. The comprehensive lesson emphasizes vocabulary throughout as well as algebraic and graphical characteristics of the inverse functions.

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.
