Throught this subscription-based sight, learners explore different aspects of the parabola by changing equations from standard to vertex form. Next, find the general form of the vextex based on the values of a, b, and c, and investigate...

Students use a stopwatch to collect information for a scatterplot.   In this fastest legs lessons, students collect data through the taking of measurements, create and find a median number. Students develop an equation and...

An interesting example of a discrete function and how it is applies to the real world. This could easily make a good collaborative lesson plan with an environmental science class. Practice reading a table and drawing a scatter plot make...

Ninth graders investigate systems of linear equations.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders determine which method is the best for solving a systems:  graphing, substitution, or...

Learners explore quadratic equations in this Algebra II lesson plan. They investigate families of quadratic functions by graphing the parent function and family members on the same graph. Additionally, they write the equation of the...

Learners use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Middle-schoolers explore the concept linear equations. They use the internet to navigate through videos and problems. Pupils problem solve to determine rates of change, slope, and x and y-intercepts.

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Tenth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people. In this tenth grade mathematics lesson, 10th graders investigate how throwing with an atlatl increase the speed of the dart as it is thrown. Students calculate the speed for...

Pupils solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.

High schoolers test Leonardo da Vinci's view of the human body by measuring various body parts using a tape measure. They create a data table and a scatter plot and then analyze and interpret the results using a graphing calculator.

Students discover patterns in linear equations by playing a dice game to collect data. They graph the data and analyze the patterns of the lines created by the data. The class then compares the individual graphs to evaluate the position...

Learners analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, learners explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The lesson is designed to be a...

Students calculate the amount of minutes they get charged for each month. In this algebra lesson, students relate linear equations to talking on the phone and the cost to do so. They create graph to plot the cost and usage of the cell...

Young scholars identify the nth rule for each sequence. In this algebra lesson, students finish the pattern or sequence and find the missing term. They relate patterns and sequences to the real world.

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led instructional activity and then with a partner on a second data set. They...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students gather data for the project for the entire year. They plot their data, try to fit a equation to their data, and speculate on why the data shows the pattern it does and project its future growth.

Pupils complete a lab in order to discover if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affect the type of data collected and the resulting graph.
