Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Teach cube roots by building on an understanding of square roots. The third installment of a 25-part series asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using roots. Scholars compare square roots and cube roots throughout...

Through learning about cubic functions, high schoolers graph cubic functions on their calculator.  Students determine the local maximum and minimum points and the tangent line from the x-intercept to a point on the cubic...

In this algebra worksheet, learners simplify 14 complex radical fractions. They find the square roots for both the denominator and numerator, dividing out any factors that are the same to completely simplify the fraction. For the final 7...

In this algebra worksheet young scholars find the root and simplify 20 radical expressions. Students use the product and quotient rules to simplify 27 radical expressions. They add or subtract radicals on 13 problems.

In this introduction to root finding worksheet, students write equations to solve distance problems. They explore the bisection method of Bolzano. This four-page worksheet contains approximately ten problems.

In this algebra worksheet, learners solve 10 equations for the given variable. Each problem involves numbers under a radical sign.

Students factor polynomial equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the zeros of the equations. They use algebra to rewrite word problems using symbols.

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. 

Show your class that not all equations are linear. The lesson asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using square and cube roots. Problems include equations with no solutions. 

Show learners how to develop a procedure for solving equations using radicals with the fifth instructional activity of the 25-part module that challenges learners to use properties to solve multi-step quadratic and cubic equations....

In this functions worksheet, high schoolers solve 70 short answer questions. Students find domain of functions and evaluate them for a given value. High schoolers determine if a mapping diagram represents a function.

Your pupils just may know more than you think they do! A pre-test assesses their ability to solve and write equations. It includes simple quadratic and cubic equations as well. 

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive lesson has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

In this rational expression instructional activity, students graph rational equations, evaluate limits, state intercepts, asymptotes, and roots and factor.  This instructional activity is designed as a test to be completed with a...

Intersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

Package design is an economic necessity. Young scholars assume the role in an interesting inquiry-based lesson. Given 24 cubic shaped candies to package, they must determine the arrangement that uses the least amount of cardboard to...

No laundry or cooking dinner here: these parent functions are all about math. Every graph you could think of from basic linear functions to the hyperbolic arccotangent function are included. With 40 parent functions, the worksheet...

In this functions worksheet, students explore the graphs of fifteen parent functions.  This worksheet is meant as a reference for students.

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Join the family picnic and see how all the functions come together in a PowerPoint that highlights their main features. As it includes topics such as domain, range, and intercepts, the slides are a great guide to promote class...

Don't think this lesson is for Mom and Dad; parent functions are all for your high schoolers. Flip through a presentation with a focus slide on each type of graph and its characteristics. Some examples are included but the...

Which function models the data best? Pupils work through several activities to model data with a variety of functions. Individuals begin by reviewing the shapes of the functions and finding functions that will fit plotted data points. By...

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.
