Twelfth graders assess their knowledge of trig functions and their properties. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders take a test on derivatives, trig functions, and the quotient rule. There are 2 different versions of the same test...

Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

Students graph systems of equation. In this calculus lesson plan, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

High schoolers explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  High schoolers use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b...

Students investigate an article on local linearity. In this calculus lesson plan, students read about the application of math in the real world. They gain insight from the teachers view of how to teach and relate the topic to the real...
