Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

Connect end behavior to previous learning. Pupils connect finding the end behavior of rational functions to finding end behavior of polynomial functions. The 13th segment in a 23-part unit starts with finding the end behavior or power...

Hang out at the beach and listen to some relaxing tunes, all while developing basic math skills. An endless source of fun and learning for young children!

Don't allow those polynomial functions to misbehave! Understand the end behavior of a polynomial function based on the degree and leading coefficient. Learners examine the patterns of even and odd degree polynomials and apply them to...

Watch your pupils go round and round as they explore periodic behavior. Learners graph the height of a Ferris wheel over time. They repeat the process with Ferris wheels of different diameters.

Accumulation functions should behave like other functions. Using content from Unit 5, pupils analyze the first and second derivative to determine the behavior of an accumulation function. Learners find out how to calculate the relative...

Have class members going in circles as they model the path of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometric functions. Building on the previous lesson in this series on transformations, learners use trigonometric functions to model wheels of...

Discover different patterns by making connections between a rational function and its graph. An engaging instructional activity asks scholars to explore the behavior of different rational functions. Groups discover a connection...

There are an infinite number of reasons to use the resource. Scholars drag vertical and horizontal lines to the graph of a rational function to identify all asymptotes. They investigate the connection between asymptotes and limits to...

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

What does math have to do with the behavior of the earth and sun? Learn how the movement of celestial bodies has influenced the development of trigonometry. Scholars connects the details in mathematics to their...

Math language? Set notation is used in mathematics to communicate a process and that the same process can be represented as computer code. The concept to the loop in computer code models the approach pupils take when creating a solution...

Learning about end behavior means it's close to the end of the unit. The 16th of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity has scholars watch a video to learn how limits at infinity can be used to determine horizontal asymptotes and...

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

So many things to remember when graphing polynomials and this guide gives a helping hand to do so. The packet goes through examples and explains things like critical values, end behavior, and multiplicities. There are image links and...

Hyperbolas—practice thinking outside of the box. Pupils alter the end behavior box to create various graphs of hyperbolas. They determine formulas to find the distance from the origin to the foci. Using that information, scholars...

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...

Get close to your favorite line. Scholars use end behavior to help find horizontal asymptotes. With the understanding of domains of rational functions, learners find vertical asymptotes and then use graphing calculators to verify the...

Introduce a new type of function through discovery. Math learners build an understanding of rational expressions by creating tables and graphing the result. 

What do Whoosh and Jet Stream have in common? They are both characters in a fantastic game designed to help students identify various positive and negative spending behaviors. Through an engaging activity, worksheets, and...

Create rules for numerical sequences. Pupils develop local rules and recursive rules for number sequences. The sequences are linear, quadratic, and cubic in nature. Scholars find that some local rules do not work, no matter where in...

Around and around we go ... again, and again, and again, and again! That's the nature of a periodic function. Young scholars learn how to model a periodic pattern with trigonometric functions. The nine-lesson unit explores the connection...

Put everything together implicitly. Pupils use their knowledge of implicit differentiation to determine whether a curve is increasing or decreasing or its concavity. Given a differential equation, scholars determine whether a specific...

Learn how to analyze probability distributions. The sixth installment of a 21-part module teaches pupils to use probability distributions to determine the long-run behavior of a discrete random variable. They create graphs of probability...
