In this graphing activity, students graph ten systems of inequalities.  Students are then asked to find the area of the regions.  A challenge problem is included. where students are asked to find the volume of the resulting solid.

In this parabolic exercise, students find the vertex and axis of symmetry of parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses. They sketch the graph. This one-page activity contains ten problems.

In this measurement worksheet, students use a measuring tape to measure suggested items located in the classroom, such a table or desk. Students measure to the nearest 1/16th of an inch. They calculate the surface area of each item. ...

In this completing the square worksheet, students solve one quadratic equation by completing the square.  The solution is provided.

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

Students collect data using the CBL. For this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Learners solve systems of inequalities. In this instructional activity, they identify the solution of the two lines and shade the solution. They identify the boundary line and the region representing the solution.

Students explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Students find functions to...

Students explore the concept of sine and cosine.  In this sine and cosine lesson, students work in groups to graph sine and cosine functions.  Students examine how coefficients in various parts of each parent function shift the...

Learners factor polynomials using the sum and difference of cubes. They also learn connections between the graph and expression.

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...

Statistically, practicing this packet completely helps young mathematicians do well on the test. The packet is adaptable to many grade levels as it includes basic probability and goes up to data analysis with mean, median, and...

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

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...

Find patterns in the process instead of the result. Learners convert series of decimals and fractions identifying patterns along the way. The lesson includes nine problem tasks with progressively more involved patterns.

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Imaginary numbers are a real thing. Scholars learn about complex numbers, real numbers, and imaginary numbers. They classify given numbers as strictly complex, strictly real, or strictly imaginary in an individual or group activity.

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...

Mathematicians use an inquiry method to solve linear equations. In this linear equations lesson, students practice solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They solve multi-step equations and equations...

This study guide would be great to use when presenting a lesson on ratios and proportions. It includes clear definitions, explanations, and examples to work through as a class or individually. In addition, it has notes on rates and...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Motivation is key to learning. The author points out that it is important to engage intuition for aspects of statistics that pupils find counter-intuitive. Three strategies—using multiple representations, using intuitive analogies, and...

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...
