Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving lesson, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

Looking for an application for step functions? This activity uses real data to examine piecewise step functions. Groups create a list of data from varying scenarios and create a model to use to make recommendations to increase...

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

While creating models from data, pupils make decisions about precision. Exercises are provided that require linear, quadratic, or exponential models based upon the desired precision. 

The Function That Shall Not Be Named? The eighth installment of a 35-part module uses a WhatPower function to introduce scholars to the concept of a logarithmic function without actually naming the function. Once pupils are...

Won't the other properties be sad to learn that they're not the most important? The 11th installment of a 35-part module is essentially a continuation of the previous lesson, using logarithm tables to develop properties. Scholars...

Full of problems with polygons, angles, lines, and triangles, your learners get a multi-page packet that provides all they need to know. It contains many of the standard problem types as well as some more challenging questions. 

High schoolers analyze data and identify the mean. In this probability lesson, students log data in the TI and construct scatter plots from the data. They identify properties of a scatterplot.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Pupils use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

Students explore the concept of linear and exponential growth. In this linear and exponential growth instructional activity, students collect data about China's population. Students model the data to determine if it is linear or...

Seventh graders investigate the practice of purchasing a used car with the help of links and resources found in the lesson plan. They conduct research to find the right kind of car using a variety of resources. Students examine data in...

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...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Weighted averages can be tricky to explain! However, this study guide makes it easy for teachers by including definitions, explanations, and breaking down problems into three steps. Includes mixture problems and uniform motion problems.

Concepts are only valuable if they are applicable. An informative resource uses concepts developed in lessons 26 and 27 in a 36-part series. Scholars write equations and solve for missing side lengths for given right triangles....

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Once learners realize what direct variation is, they see it's just a type of linear function. The lesson poses a general question that leads to the creation of the y = kx formula. The resource includes discussion prompts and ideas for...

Review the multiple methods of solving quadratic equations through an analysis of the discriminant. Scholars use the discriminant to determine the best solution method and then solve various equations. As a challenge, learners build...

Designers in Prague are not diagonally challenged. The mini-assessment provides a complex pattern made from blocks. Individuals use the pattern to find the area and perimeter of the design. To find the perimeter, they use the Pythagorean...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

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...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...
