This lesson begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables are...

Curve through the points. The resource, created as a review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math test, gives scholars the opportunity to refresh their quadratic graphing skills. Pupils fill out function tables to...

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

Develop graphs by following the pattern. The resource provides opportunities for reviewing graphing linear equations. Pupils create tables to graph linear equations by using patterns whenever possible. The worksheet and video are part of...

The characteristics of parent function vary from graph to graph. Let learners decipher the graph, table of values, equations, and any characteristics of those function families to use as a guide. The nicely organized page...

Functions as inputs for other functions? After reviewing function notation and how to input values to evaluate functions, class members input functions into functions, essentially determining the composition of functions.

Time to move on to nonlinear functions. Scholars create input/output tables and use these to graph simple nonlinear functions. They calculate rates of change to distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions.

How can you compare linear functions? The seventh installment of a 12-part module teaches learners how to compare linear functions whose representations are given in different ways. They use real-world functions and interpret features in...

Define, explore, compare, and analyze functions with the fourth chapter of a 10-part eighth-grade workbook series. After encountering the definition of a function, pupils begin to explore linear and nonlinear functions. They then...

Put everything together in a picture. Scholars take what they learned in the previous three lessons in the 15th segment of a 23-part unit to graph rational functions. They find the end behavior, the horizontal and vertical asymptotes if...

Perform a switch to find the inverse of a parametric equation. Pupils match four parametric functions with the graph of the their inverses. Using the graphs, learners determine whether particular points are on the original parametric...

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

Relations, and functions, and line tests, oh my! An instructional slideshow demonstrates the definitions of a relation, a function, and the domain and range of a relation. Viewers then learn how to use mappings and vertical...

Math and science come alive in this career-related lesson on sanitation. Along the way, learners explore bacterial growth rates using exponential notation and graphs. A link to a very brief, but vivid video shows just how quickly these...

One-to-one means the answer is simple, right? Given four graphs, pupils use a vertical line to test each graph to find out if they are one-to-one. By using the resource, learners realize that not all one-to-one relations are functions....

Scholars learn what it means for a relation to be a function and see various representations of functions. After learning the definition, they participate in a card sorting activity classifying relations as functions or not.

Your microbiologists explore the graphing of exponential growth functions using bacteria, like e. coli and salmonella, in a well-written, career and technology lesson. 

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

Ninth graders know how to solve a system of linear equations, but what happens when the system involves an exponential function? The instructional slideshow teaches viewers to determine solutions to systems of equations with linear...

Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching...

Workout with stretches and compressions. Scholars view what happens to the graph when multiplying a function by a number. Learners combine stretches and compressions with translations before practicing the newly learned skill by pausing...

There's value in using a video to analyze a table of values. Pupils learn how to find the limit of a function from a table of values in the fourth of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity. An engaging video gives a tutorial on how...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents.
