Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

Data starts to tell a story when it takes shape. Learners describe skewed and symmetric data. They then use the graphs to estimate mean and standard deviation. 

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a activity on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients 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.

If a linear function and a quadratic function enter a boxing match, which one would win? Learners first review how to find key features of linear and quadratic functions. Next, they compare key features of pairs of functions.

Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson has scholars use given...

Analyze functions by their shape and equation and identify decay and growth based on the equation given. Learners graph their exponential functions and differentiate it using the logarithmic versus the exponential function.

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

There's a function for that! Scholars examine real-world situations to determine which type of function would best model the data in the 23rd installment of a 35-part module. It involves considering the nature of the data in addition to...

As part of an investigation of transformations of exponential functions, class members use Newton's Law of Cooling as an exponential model to determine temperature based on varying aspects. The resource makes comparisons between...

Two real-world activities to practice adding, subtracting and multiplying matrices to problem solve. Data from several Pro football quarterbacks is used in one activity to make some predictions based on their stats. Then the class takes...

Bobo the Boxer needs a pen and algebra learners need to find the maximum area that can be created from a fixed amount of fence.  A graphing calculator is used to assist in their exploration. 

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson plan: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson plan has prizes that...

Young scholars use graphing calculators to create scatter plots of given baseball data. They also determine percentages and ratios, slope, y-intercepts, etc. all using baseball data and statistics.

Students apply the concept of transformation to the game of battleship. In this algebra activity, students relate their linear equations to how they would graph or set up their game pieces to win.

Students solve inequalities problems. In this algebra lesson, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Learners model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.

Twelfth graders use Algebra and Geometry to solve a real life problem at the Zoo.

Young scholars practice graphing compound inequalities. They draw a Venn Diagram on two different sports visualizing that their is a middle section on commonality among the two sports groups and then relate that concept to compound...

Have your class find the domain and range for each function. High schoolers graph equations using the TI. They find all the x and y values as they relate to the domain and range.

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Learners use the Geometer's Sketchpad to illustrate possible answers to a parallelogram problem. As a class, they discuss the point-slope and linear equation forms. Individually, students solve their equations and check the results on...

Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...
