Class members create a table of the number of chords that can be drawn given the number of points on a circle. Pupils analyze the data created, find a function to fit to it, and use the function to make further predictions.

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world...

Put geometry skills to the test! Learners solve compound inequalities and then graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane using their geometric skills. They identify the slope and y-intercept in order to graph correctly. I like this...

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, high schoolers solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

What effect does changing the perimeter have on the area of a figure? The five problems in the resource explore this question at various grade levels. Elementary problems focus on the perimeter of rectangles and irregular figures with...

Investigate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Individuals begin by identifying independent and dependent variables from different problem situations. Then, using specific guidelines, they create posters...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Double the dimensions, quadruple the surface area. Pairs build similar prisms and compare the ratios of their surface areas and volumes to the ratio of the heights. Given two similar cones, partners determine the ratios of the lateral...

In this differentiability worksheet, students write expressions for a tangent line approximation to a graph, determine the limits, and use Taylor's theorem to differentiate given functions. This three-page worksheet contains a...

In this differentiation worksheet, students differentiate functions, determine the dimensions of areas between graphs, and evaluate limits. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 55 problems.

In this polar coordinates worksheet, students graph polar coordinates and determine the values of a given series. This one-page worksheet contains 14 multi-step problems.

Differentiate between calculus concepts. The beginning of a helpful calculus resource begins with a short review of functions and moves right into limits to define derivatives. The six-chapter resource continues with applications of...

All's fair in math and war. Scholars examine the Battle of Trafalgar using calculus. They set up and solve a system of differential equations to determine the number of ships remaining in each fleet over time.

Examine the surface area of composite figures using an exploratory approach. As a continuation of the previous lesson plan of the 29-part series, young scholars develop plans for finding the surface area of composite figures. Examples...

You can't judge a book by its cover ... or a cube structure by just one face. A creative instructional activity looks at the shape of several cube structures described by level slices. The 20th instructional activity of the 29-part...

Does Newton's Law of Cooling have anything to do with apples? Scholars apply Newton's Law of Cooling to solve problems in the 29th installment of a 35-part module. Now that they have knowledge of logarithms, they can determine the decay...

Teach pupils to handle fractions fluently. The sixth installment in the series of 28 has class members apply the concepts learned in previous lessons to expressions with fractional coefficients. The fractions are both mixed numbers and...

Explore vocabulary and notation related to triangles and congruence. The fifth instructional activity in the 29-part series helps pupils build their knowledge of triangle relationships. Individuals identify corresponding parts of...

Teach the connection between area models and the distributive property through problem-solving. The 22nd activity in a series of 29 explains the distributive property graphically. Learners build area models from word problems and convert...

Profit always seems to get everyone's attention. The same is true during a lesson on estimation. Learners use given information to estimate the cost of supplies for a painting job. They then develop a strategy for estimating the...

Parking structures don't build themselves. Investigate the process of designing and planning the construction of a parking garage. After considering the factors that must go into the design, scholars create their own models from a...

It's time to put analytical applications to work. Learners use the eight questions of the mid-Unit 5 review to refresh their memories of the key points. Pupils apply what they have learned to use the Mean Value Theorem, find extrema...

Connect integrals with differentiation. The beginning of the video introduces the definition of an accumulation function. Scholars learn about the relationship between integrals and derivatives. Using what is commonly known as Part Two...

Keep your pets slim, trim, and healthy using mathematics! Pupils use a linear programming model to optimize the amount and type of food to provide to a pet rabbit. They model constraints by graphing inequalities and use them to analyze a...
