Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Fourth graders practice linear measurement skills by applying various measuring instruments to determine the heights of classmates. By measuring the heights of second graders and fourth graders, they construct tables of height and age...

Eighth graders find connections between numbers in a table; use Pythagoras' theorem in a general algebraic form; and measure accurately from a scale drawing to find a method that might enable the helicopter to land inside a rectangular...

Pupils discuss how numbers increase when exponential growth is occurring. They view a video and compare exponential and linear growth with a graphing calculator.

Avoid the trap of memorizing steps when completing the square with a resources that provides a conceptual approach to completing the square. Learners that are able to recognize a perfect square trinomial are ready to complete the...

High schoolers research the availability, usage and demand for water in the local area historically and use projections of the availability, usage and demand for water up to the year 2050. They gather data and present the information in...

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...

What do you do with a difficult-to-factor quadratic expression? This instructional activity provides the answer. Pupils learn a grouping strategy to help factor trinomials. When guess and check seems too tedious, this method is the...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

What makes a good best-fit line? In the 10th part of a 16-part module, scholars learn how to analyze trend lines to choose the best fit, and to write equations for best-fit lines to make predictions.

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

Learners collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

You can't go wrong with a lesson that involves candy! Learners solve and graph one-variable inequalities and use candy to graph the solution. Individuals associate open circle graphs with life savers and closed circle graphs with round...

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.

Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Learners practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Young scholars study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Learners develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson plan, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...
