With the assistance of their Ti-84/Ti-83 Plus calculators, young scholars develop a foundation for the limiting process as well as estimate limits from graphs and tables of values. They view how a function behaves as the input approaches...

Students explore the concept of sine. In this sine lesson, students create a sine graph from tooth picks. Students create a unit circle with tooth pick length radius. Students then take the tooth picks from the unit circle and put them...

In this power law function worksheet, students use data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space telescope to apply the power law function to physical phenomena. Students use a graph to solve four problems.

Students explore basic connections between graphs, tables, and symbolic representations for lines, parabolas, inverse models, and exponential models. One of the primary goals of this lesson is to help students begin to recognize patterns...

In this quantitative analysis worksheet, students explore the limits of a rate equation. They use quantitative analysis methods to determine the differential, plot graphs of their values, and describe the relationships between the...

Students explore the relationship between the amount of weight that can be supported by a spaghetti bridge, the thickness of the bridge, and the length of the bridge to determine the algebraic equation that best represents that pattern...

Students explore reasons for varied salinity in bodies of water. In this geographical inquiry lesson, students use a variety of visual and written information including maps, data tables, and graphs, to form a hypothesis as to why the...

Students complete a unit about career choices. They conduct research on a selected career that interests them, conduct an interview, explore various websites, create a five-page HyperStudio stack, and write ten checks that relate to...

Students, using a specified website, plot quadratic curves to distinguish how different values of a affect a graph. They investigate how the constant and the absolute value of a function affects the graph. They identify the parabola...

Learners are introduced to the construction geometrically of parabolas. Using a software program, they identify lines, segments and midpoints. They label the parabolas properties and characteristics and use a formula to determine the...

Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and...

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Students extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

Explore the concept of polynomials and determine the value and number of zeros for a given polynomial using the Rational Root Theorem. Then graph the polynomials and relate the number of zeroes to the degree of the polynomial.

Using their Ti-Nspire to determine the solutions of parabolas, students explore the concept of complex roots.  Students determine if parabolas have real or complex roots.  Students determine the the axis of symmetry and the...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Learners explore the concept of parabolas by collecting quadratic data on a bouncing ball as it is falling using a motion detector. They plot the data and determine the equation of the quadratic in vertex form, then determine the values...

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Students explore the concept of exponential growth.  In this exponential growth lesson, students manipulate power models with base 2.  Students discuss what would happen if you doubled a penny over the course of 20 days. ...

Students explore the concept of systems of equations. In this system of equations lesson, students enter data into lists on their calculators about 100 meter dash times. Students plot the points using a scatter plot and perform a linear...

Pupils examine the centroid of a triangle as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and its medians. The dynamic nature of the software allows learners to measure the lengths of the segments in the triangle and conjecture and verify...

Learners explore scatter plots in this algebra activity. They create a scatter plot from their guesses regarding a famous person’s birth date and the actual birth date then they examine and interpret the results of their graph.

Third graders explore matter. In this physical science lesson, 3rd graders observe several items and use their five senses to describe their properties. Students record their observations and share with the class.

Students model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.

For this college level mathematics worksheet, students explore the number e and graph functions involving e. The two page worksheet contains thirty-two problems. Answers are included.
