The Function That Shall Not Be Named? The eighth installment of a 35-part module uses a WhatPower function to introduce scholars to the concept of a logarithmic function without actually naming the function. Once pupils are...

What kind of functions have holes in their graphs? Here, the teacher guides the class on how to use the simplified function of a rational function to aid in the graphing of the original rational function. T-tables are used in order...

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

Sixth graders perform the Order of Operations. Given various story problems, groups of students solve equations requiring division, multiplication, parenthesis, exponents and other mathematical processes. They discuss the order of...

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

Seventh graders use online math games to practice understanding the skill of estimation and order of operations. In this instructional activity, 7th graders use the internet to play online games to strengthen their understanding of...

Students read a textbook about aerodynamics. They find out the definition of Mach number. They complete problems designed to demonstrate their ability to solve Mach number equations.

Eighth graders practice calculating problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They estimate solutions to algebraic problems. They also graph their solutions.

Don't give your classes the third degree when working with polynomials! Teach them to recognize the successive differences and identify the degree of the polynomial. The lesson leads learners through a process to develop an understanding...

This interactive website provides a variety of lesson plans according to which standards you are applying and which textbook you use. Introduce functions to your class by having them construct single operation machines and create...

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each lesson uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the concepts of the last...

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part activity encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The activity considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

Graph linear equations using a table of values. Learners solve equations in two variables using standard form of an equation. They identify the relationship between x and y values.

Students pretend to borrow $1000.00 on a credit card. They pretend to make the minimum payments for a year. When they're done, they make a pie chart showing how much of their payments reduced their debt, and how much was interest.

Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson plan has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Students solve and graph inequalities involving absolute value. They discuss and identify the basic properties of inequalities, and solve basic examples.

Fifth graders discover how to use inverse operations to solve equations. In this inverse operations lesson plan, 5th graders explore visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.
