If you know one, you know them all! Parent functions all handle translations the same. This lesson plan examines the quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions. Pupils discover the similarities in the behavior of the graphs...

Small groups analyze the attendance at a movie theater and determine the amount of money made for per show. Team members calculate the number of shows it would take for a theater to make a profit after purchasing a new digital projector....

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

How many different ways can you model data? Scholars learn several in the final module in a series of nine. Learners model data with dot plots, box plots, histograms, and scatter plots. They also analyze the data based on the data...

A piece of this and a piece of that, add domain restrictions and create a piecewise function. Young scholars explore piecewise functions with and without context. Functions include both linear and quadratic parts. The module is the...

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

For this algebra worksheet, students rewrite linear equations using matrices and solve using row-echelon form. There are 30 problems ranging from one equation to system of equations.

Learners analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students create a spreadsheet to analyze functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students use spreadsheets to find the intersection of systems of equations. They identify the dependent and independent function as it relates to...

Students identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.

Learners solve problems using matrices. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract and multiply matrices. They use the graphing calculator to simplify and graph linear equations.

In this inequality worksheet, students solve inequalities on a coordinate plane by graphing. The linear equations contain two variables. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

An engaging, and not to mention attractive, lesson plan has prealgebra and beginning algebra scholars examining linear relationships. They consider the rising water level as a swimming pool is being filled. They do so by charting and...

Learners explore quadratic equations in this Algebra II lesson. They investigate families of quadratic functions by graphing the parent function and family members on the same graph. Additionally, they write the equation of the parabola...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

Recycle, reuse, and rearrange! Young scholars learn to rearrange formulas to highlight a variable of interest. They then use their new formulas to make calculations.

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Not all resources are created equal — and your class benefits! Scholars learn how to solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations. They complete an activity matching inequalities to their solutions.

Investigate the order of operations! Learners participate in interactive multi-media activities to examine and solve multi-step equations, inequalities. They evaluate formulas and simplify monomials and polynomials.

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson plan.

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.
