An examination of stump speeches, one of the most important components of a presidential campaign, is made possible by accessing The New York Times Learning Network. After closely examining the form and function of stump speeches, young...

Sequences and series are traditionally thought of as topics for the pre-calculus or calculus class, when learners are figuring out how to develop limits. But this unit uses patterns and slopes of linear functions in unique ways...

Learners analyze the difference between the slope intercept and standard forms of a line in this task. Given two general points using letters they explore linear functions and linear equations.

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

How do you address a large group of people? How would give someone bad news? How would you share happy news with a friend? Help your intermediate English language classes form these sentiments by providing them with this practice...

In this limit worksheet, learners find the interval values of given functions. They identify constants, and plot graphs. This three-page worksheet contains approximately 20 problems.

Introduce a new type of function through discovery. Math learners build an understanding of rational expressions by creating tables and graphing the result. 

Students study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions.  In this botany lesson plan students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.

A car traveling down a steep hill is the model for this resource. The confusion comes when the elevation, E, is given in terms of distance, d. The distance, d, is the horizontal distance from E. Therefore, the equation, E = 7500 – 250d,...

Young scholars explore different types of doors from an artistic point of view. In this creative thinking lesson, students look at different types of architectural doors and doorways and analyze them. They create a project of a door as a...

Get the class to take an extreme look at functions. The interactive presents a function on a closed interval with a movable tangent line. Using the given function, pupils determine the extrema, critical points, and points of...

Students use given information on wind speed with the quadratic formula to determine the pressure of the wind on a building. In this quadratic equations lesson, students compute the pressure of the wind from two data tables. They graph...

Three lessons based on "The Wife of Bath's Prologue" from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales offer scholars an opportunity to examine literary satire, medieval attitudes towards women, and the form and function of a frame story.

Real-world application of the finite geometric series. Sick? Need to take Ampicillin? How much is in the body at any given point in time as this medication is taken over the course of time. Use the formulas, make calculation, and graph...

In this math learning exercise, students define a function f(x) by the following rule: for any x ∈ R,set. They also define the domain and range for the functions.

As part of a unit, this lesson familiarizes youngsters with components of a rain garden. They speculate about the role of an assigned component in contributing to a rain garden, and ultimately, in the health of the local watershed. Each...

Students solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

In this function worksheet, students find the derivatives of a function. They graph each function and determine the interval. This three-page worksheet contains 8 problems.

In this present simple and present continuous verbs worksheet, students examine 21 sentences and fill in the blanks in each by putting the verb in parentheses into the present simple or present continuous verb tense.
