In this shoelace algorithm learning exercise, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions instructional activity, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function....

In this mixed equation and inequality worksheet, learners solve various types of equations requiring the use of absolute value, system of equations, polynomials, and square roots. This three-page worksheet contains 60 algebra problems. ...

In this absolute percentage error worksheet, students estimate the maximum absolute error in computing the volume and area of a cube or a sphere. They use differentials to estimate the value of roots. This one-page worksheet contains...

When more basketball players are taller than field hockey players at a school, is it safe to say that in general they are always taller? The activity takes data from two college teams and your learners will be able to answer questions...

Root for your pupils to learn about roots. Young mathematicians first review the meaning of squares and square roots. They then use this knowledge to simplify square roots of monomials with variables.

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

In this radical expressions instructional activity, 9th graders solve and complete 20 different problems that include simplifying various radical expressions. First, they define rationalizing the denominator. Then, students simplify and...

In this functions worksheet, students explore the graphs of fifteen parent functions.  This worksheet is meant as a reference for students.

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

In this intervals learning exercise, students determine the coordinates at a point of inflection.  They compute the deritative of a function and sketch curves that satisfy given conditions.  Students solve equations using the...

In this college level algebra worksheet, students solve absolute value and quadratic inequalities.  The two page worksheet contains three problems.  Answers are not provided. 

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

Baseball is all about statistics. Pupils solve problems related to mean, median, and range. They calculate the total weight of players given the mean weight, calculate the mean weight of reserve players given the mean weight of the...

Know thy calculator. Young mathematicians use their calculators to answer a set of questions. They consider how the number of digits the calculator displays affects the answers to calculations. They then find examples of computations...

Explore linear programming on a website game. Partners solve a real-world problem by setting up an objective function and a linear inequality. They graph their results on chart paper and also using a calculator before presenting their...

Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow...

Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Math whizzes read a series of slides describing steps to solving linear equations. They view a slide-show presentation. Each page, or slide, presents a different topic. Topics include: defining a linear equations, inverse operations,...

Students listen to a lecture about absolute maximum and absolute minimum. In this maximum and minimum instructional activity students use steps to find points and practice with an example.

In this range of functions worksheet, students find the range of three functions. One function is a trinomial, one function is a rational with a binomial denominator, the third function involves absolute value.
