Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads."...

Students identify properties of parabolas. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor quadratic equations and identify the properties of parabolas. They find the roots, vertex and intercepts of a parabola.

Young scholars review for the Regents Exam. In this math lesson plan, students review core concept for the Regents exam by working a variety of problems. A printable worksheet is provided.

Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...

To find x, you have to get it by itself, correct? Individuals solve a linear word problem and share their solutions with others that solved the problem in a similar fashion. They then complete a self-assessment on how they feel about...

Pupils explore the many representations of linear functions by completing a matching activity to connect the multiple representations of a function. They then reinforce the connection as individuals create the different representations...

Derivatives are useful for many things — they can even keep track of particle motion. An informative lesson plan provides an introduction to the idea of the second derivative in particle motion. Class members determine the...

What if you were paid to attend class? What kind of payment schedule would you choose? Learn how exponential functions will eventually exceed linear functions by comparing two different payment schedules for attending class.

The 10th lesson in a series of 32, continues with the geometry of arithmetic of complex numbers focusing on multiplication. Class members find the effects of multiplying a complex number by a real number, an imaginary number, and another...

Pupils work several real-world problems that use percents in the 11th portion of a 20-part series. The problems contain percents involved with taxes, commissions, discounts, tips, fees, and interest. Scholars use the equations formed for...

You can't see patterns in a jumble of numbers ... so organize them! Learners take a set of data and use a line plot to organize the numbers. From the line plot, they find minimum, maximum, mean, and make other conclusions about the...

This is a great instructional activity from start to finish. With partners and on their own, learners write and solve linear equations and inequalities. They use manipulatives, group work, and an included worksheet to make magic with...

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Math apprentices are introduced to the components of a linear relationship. In groups, they write story problems that incorporate this relationship and relates to the real world. They give their problem to the class for them to solve.

In this rate worksheet, students draw and label given situations, determine the rates and the relationship between them. This two-page worksheet contains 7 multi-step problems.

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students brainstorm several animal/personal scenarios, select one, and write out an explanation of the comparison. They apply the measurements/characteristics to themselves and use algebraic equations to demonstrate the comparison.

Students identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students discover the ocrrect way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and range and...

Students solve problems identifying the functions and inverses. In this algebra lesson, students identify a one-to-one function, and perform the horizontal line test. They analyze data and graph their results on a graph.

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

In this systems of linear inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they determine whether a given point is in the solution set of a system of linear inequalities. Then, students graph...
