Take a look at linear functions in a new environment. A three-stage algebra project first asks learners to model the salt concentration of an aquarium using linear functions. Then, using iterations, pupils create a set of input-output...

Take a functional approach to the national debt. Learners collect information about the national debt by decade and plot the data. They determine whether an exponential curve is a good fit for the data by comparing the percent changes...

Students solve problems using the distributive property. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by multiplication and combining like terms. They graph their lines on the calculator.

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Students create a poster to explain composite functions. In this composite function worksheet, students explore linear equations and functions. They complete a worksheet and use manipulatives to complete problems.

Young scholars investigate the concept of a linear function. They use geoboards to find the interior angle sums. The sum of the angles is found to equal 180 degrees. Students also investigate quadrilaterals.

In this function and graph worksheet, students 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. ...

Students describe the functions and characteristics of their local community. In groups, they develop a definition of a city and identify the characteristics that make up a city. Using the internet, they rank cities based on their...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.

The idea of having a Healthy Heart Night at your school is a fabulous thought. Here are a few ideas that detail was done at one elementary school. It would take a lot of organizing to make it happen, but seems well worth the effort. This...

Students explore the concept of exponents. In this exponential functions worksheet, students complete provided worksheets that require them to graph exponential functions by hand as well using graphing calculators.

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Learners review previous lessons on mean, variance, standard deviation, and expected value. They utlize formulas for these characteristics that are specifically designed for the binomial distribution. Students discuss the similarities...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Learners investigate the slope of a cubic function. They find the tangent line of the cubic function at point P, and discuss the relationship between point P and point Q, the point the tangent line intersects the cubic function. ...

Learners collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx.  Students explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function. 

Learners research the structure and function of the eye. In this anatomy lesson, students write a report about the eye and draw an illustration. They research a particular animal's eye then present their findings to the class without...

Familiarize young biologists with the inner workings of eukaryotic cells with this vocabulary learning exercise. By cutting out and matching a series of definitions and memorization tips to the organelles listed in the...

Use salmon eggs as a cell model for demonstrating the movement of water over concentration gradients. Junior scientists examine the same process microscopically with an onion cell. They use a thistle tube and a semipermeable membrane to...

Here is a copy of a past national challenge exam that you can use in your general chemistry course as a unit or semester review. Sixty multiple-choice questions query learners on properties of matter, stoichiometry, reactions, and...

Learners read and complete problems on how to solve discrete probability distributions. In this probability distributions lesson plan, students read math problem examples and solve them.

In this harmonic function worksheet, students explore harmonic functions and construct a harmonic conjugate. This three-page worksheet contains three problems, with explanations and examples.

Young scholars identify function using tables of data. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

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