Students discuss the importance of Integrals as it relates to calculus. In this calculus lesson, students define Integrals and practice taking the integrals of polynomials. They work problems to enhance their understanding of how...

Twelfth graders investigate maximum and minimum as it relates to billiard and mini golf. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders review how to find the maximum and minimum and write proofs to show how they arrive at their answer. They...

Students define the laws of sine as it relates to a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students identify the properties of sine to help then find mixing sides of a right triangle. They also solve for the missing angles.

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. 

Here is a set of lessons that explore conics in a number of different ways. Starting with modeling how a conic is produced by the way a plane cuts the cone, to solving complex word problems, algebra learners progress through a series of...

Help your class discover possible patterns in a sequence of numbers and then write an equation with a lesson that covers sequence notation and function notation. Graphs are used to represent the number patterns.

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry lesson, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Through learning about cubic functions, students graph cubic functions on their calculator.  Students determine the local maximum and minimum points and the tangent line from the x-intercept to a point on the cubic function. ...

Students calculate the slope of the equation For this algebra lesson, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between functions and...

Young scholars draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.
