Weight is a function of the distance from sea level. Learners explore the many implications of this fact in an inquiry-based task. Given the function, pupils answer questions before manipulating the function to rewrite the distance...

Develop a graph to represent the distance between two cars. The assessment task presents a scenario in which two cars are traveling at constant speeds with one faster than the other. Pupils develop graphical representations to show the...

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Take the road to a greater knowledge of functions. Young mathematicians graph an absolute value function representing a road connecting several towns. Given a description, they identify the locations of the towns on the graph.

Circles aren't functions, so how is it possible to write the equation for a circle? Pupils first develop the equation of a circle through application of the Pythagorean Theorem. The activity then provides an exercise set for learners to...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

A jam-packed worksheet has all the topics you would teach in an Algebra II class with a variety of question styles. Starting with function notation and ending with geometric sequences, there really is something for everyone. Each...

How can baseball and skeet-shooting be modeled mathematically? Sports lovers and young mathematicians learn how to use quadratic equations and systems of equations to model the flight paths of various objects.

In the 19th activity of 22, learners determine if distance from a light source affects photosynthesis. Participants capture oxygen in straws and find that the amount of water the gas displaces is proportional to the rate of photosynthesis.

Everything you wanted to know about calculus—and more! The resource is a complete Calculus textbook with explanations, examples, and practice problems. 

Can a domino knock over a skyscraper? An inquiry-based lesson asks learners to calculate the size of domino needed to topple the Empire State Building. Using specific criteria and a geometric model, they find a solution.

Up, up, and away! Take your classes on a physics adventure. Learners explore the concepts important for flight. They experiment with the Bernoulli Principle while learning the forces that act on airplanes in flight.

Objects are larger (or smaller) than they appear! Scholars use a laboratory investigation to explore the difference between resolution and magnification. The activity allows them to calculate the size of the field of view of their light...

Students solve problems involving motion and distance. In this calculus lesson, students use to derivative to calculate the velocity-of a function. They observe objects moving along a straight line.

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the average velocity for a trip, graph the distance traveled as a function of time, estimate the slope and identify the instantaneous rate of change of the function. This two-page worksheet...

In this function worksheet, students write an equation of a line. They solve inequalities and write functions with interval notation. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 20 problems.

In this function and graph worksheet, learners read and interpret maps and graphs. They write an equation, define variables and solve the equation. Students solve diamond problems and use the distributive property to solve equations. ...

In this function activity, students complete a variety of problems. They explore logarithms, find the y-intercept, identify the y-intercept, and complete distance problems. This seven-page activity contains 30 problems.

Students engage in a lesson that is about relational functions with the application of methods to real life problem situations. They use the examples found in the lesson for the purpose of practice during guided instruction. Students can...

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

In this math worksheet, students determine the range of the function. Then they graph the functions while finding the coordinates on the plane.

In this function and logarithm worksheet, young scholars use functions and logarithms to find the sum of digits in a given series. They determine the value of an expression and find the distance between the points of intersection. This...

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

For this algebra worksheet, students solve 2 multi-step problems, where they use linear functions to determine the equation of a line.
