Ivy Smith Grows Up
Babies grow at an incredible rate! Demonstrate how to model growth using a linear function. Learners build the function from two data points, and then use the function to make predictions.
Curated OER
How Much Data is That?
Students differentiate between exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use logarithmic properties to solve equations. They identify growth and decay of graphs.
Curated OER
Oodles of Poodles
Young scholars solve equations by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.
Curated OER
Function Tables
Learners practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.
Curated OER
Means of Growth
Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Population Models and Qualitative Analysis
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...
Curated OER
Spreading Doom
Students explore the pattern created by a sequence or series. In this geometry lesson, students relate the spread of a virus to the growth of exponential functions. They collect data as they analyze the sequence created by the growth.
Curated OER
Calculus
Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Save Your Change
Students solve problems involving exponential, logarithmic, and scientific notations. Using calculators, students explore investment problems. They use a formula and logarithms to determine the years to earn a particular income, figure...
Mathematics Vision Project
Quadratic Equations
Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

The Right Angle
In this algebra learning exercise, 11th graders solve word problems creating a right triangle. Students determine the point and direction this turn of ninety degrees occurs. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

I want a credit card--or do I?
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.
Curated OER
An Introduction to the Natural Logarithm (ln)
Students explore the dose response principle, an introduction to what the "natural log" (ln) is and how it behaves. They create and analyze a dose response graph.
