Students graph and solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students use the slope and y-intercept to graph lines. They relate lines to the real world using different applications.

Young scholars analyze data algebraically. In this calculus lesson plan, students determine the limit based on the 3 properties of limits. They identify the domain and range of each function.

Young scholars convert between fractions, decimals and percents. In this algebra instructional activity, students reduce and rewrite the same quantity three different ways. They relate percents, decimals and fractions to the real world.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students perform translations and reflections. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph functions. They move the functions around on the coordinate plane using translation and reflection.

Students subtract integers using counters. For this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations using an online tool. They use subtraction to isolate the variable.

Students use the zero principle to add integers. In this algebra lesson, students add positive and negative integers verifying the zero principle. They use manipulatives to help them see how opposites can cancel each other out.

Students solve word problems using algebra. In this algebra instructional activity, students rewrite problems using algebraic symbols and representations. They work together to find the answers to real life scenarios using math.

Eighth graders practice calculating problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They estimate solutions to algebraic problems. They also graph their solutions.

Ninth graders investigate patterns.  In this first through second grade mathematics lesson, 9th graders read Bat Jamboree and create a pictorial representation of a bat pyramid.  Students use the manipulative pyramid to explore...

Young scholars manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers lesson, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of a derivative. They define the concept of a derivative and then complete an assignment that is included in the lesson. Students then graph the derivative and draw its...

A thoroughly-written lesson plan and a plethora of worksheets about integers comprise this resource. Neophyte number crunchers learn to recognize integers, add and subtract them, and apply the concepts to the designing of a personal...

Augment a unit on parabolas with an instructive math activity. Pupils graph parabolas by examining the relationship between the focus and directrix. 

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Need a real scenario to compare functions? This lesson has it all! Through application, individuals model using different types of functions. They analyze each in terms of the context using the key features of the graphs. 

What can we find out about the data from the way it is shaped? Looking at displays that are familiar from previous grades, the class forms meaningful conjectures based upon the context of the data. The introductory lesson to...

Everybody loves video day! Grab your class's attention with this well-designed and engaging resource about graphing. The video introduces a scenario that will be graphed with a piecewise function, then makes a connection to domain...

Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Groups sort through NASA data provided in a graphic to create a graph using uniform units and intervals. Individuals then make connections to the increasing, decreasing, and constant intervals of the graph and relate these...
