Learners explore the concept of functions. In this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Learners use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Students identify the end behavior of polynomial graphs. In this algebra lesson, students factor and solve quadratic and complex equations. They factor out negative roots and identify the real and imaginary parts of an equation.

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.
