Students, while practicing solving equations with fractions, create their own vocabulary list to utilize through out the year that is associated with fractions. They create their own K-W-L sheet, fill it in and then locate a variety of...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems using the chain rule to take the derivative and solve the function. There are 6 questions which require the students to find the correct strategy to solve the equations.

Students investigate the relationship between perpendicular and parallel lines on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate lines based on their slopes.

Pupils solve problems using integration by parts in this calculus lesson. Learners apply the product rule and integration by parts. They graph the equation and use the TI to observe the integration process.

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...
