Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders translate verbal sentences into quadratic equations and solve the resulting equation.  The one page worksheet contains thirteen questions.  Answers are included.

Get your classes moving and practicing sequences at the same time! Learners move about the room solving problems and finding their solutions. Problems include both recursive and explicit formulas and both geometric and arithmetic sequences.

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine the reciprocal function family in the form y = a/(x – h) + k, identifying the vertical and horizontal asymptotes.  The two page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and two...

Connect geometric sequences to exponential functions. The 26th installment of a 35-part module has scholars model situations using geometric sequences. Writing recursive and explicit formulas allow scholars to solve problems in context.

Why is that graph wider? Pupils learn about stretching and shrinking graphs of square root, absolute value, cubic, and quadratic functions. They study both vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks in addition to reflections. 

Life isn't fair ... like inequalities. After first reviewing inequality symbols and how to read inequality statements, learners discover how to solve one-step inequalities and graph their solution sets.

Five out of four people have trouble with fractions! After comparing simplifying fractions to simplifying rational expressions, pupils use the same principles to multiply and divide rational expressions. 

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.

Have young mathematicians create new identities! They explore the even/odd, cofunction, and periodicity identities through an analysis of tables and graph. Next, learners discover the relationships while strengthening their...

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.

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. 

Show learners the power of mathematics as they model real-life designs. Pupils graph a periodic function by comparing the degree of rotation to the height of a ferris wheel. 

Two real-world activities to practice adding, subtracting and multiplying matrices to problem solve. Data from several Pro football quarterbacks is used in one activity to make some predictions based on their stats. Then the class takes...

Use a vocabulary chart to introduce math functions. The class defines a list of mathematical vocabulary terms on a worksheet, as well as completes equations and expressions. They examine word problems and practice transcribing them into...

Ninth graders explore the process of solving one-step equations.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders solve one-step equations involving multiplication and division.  The lesson plan includes translation of verbal...

Ninth graders investigate absolute value equations and inequalities. In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders solve and graph absolute value equations and inequalities. Students translate verbal expressions into absolute value inequalities.

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...

In this quadratic equations instructional activity, students answer 15 questions about quadratic equations.  Students complete the square, use the quadratic formula, write equations in vertex form, and solve quadratic equations by...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Scholars investigate transforming parabolas.  In this transforming parabolas lesson, they take the parent graph y=x^2 and transform it by shifting left, right, up, and down and shrinking and stretching. The class finds maximums,...
