This is the ticket to learning about function rules! Using online manipulatives, scholars build a table of values and then answer questions about the related function. They examine the relationship between the input and output values and...

Learn to find the slope through a single point. The interactive provides a visualization of how to find the slope of a tangent line. With the aid of the visualization, pupils see the definition of the derivative in action. Class members...

Challenge classes to think deeply and apply their understanding of polynomials. The assessment prompts learners to use polynomial functions to model different situations and use them to make predictions and conclusions.

Explore a geometric sequence model through a simulation. Learners change the starting drop height of a ball and watch how the heights of following bounces change. They consider the ratio of the consecutive bounces as they analyze...

A steal of a deal — get four angles for the value of one. An interactive resource allows individuals to visualize all four angles that have the same reference angle. Pupils answer questions by using the interactive to create the...

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 24 different problems that include completing input/output tables and graphing the pairs. First, they find the missing values for each table and write the rule for x. Then, students write the...

Quadratics only have three terms, but each one is fairly important. Scholars use an interactive to explore how each coefficient affects the graph of a quadratic function. They also see how changes to the vertex form and how changes to...

What is meant by the phrase "form follows function?" Allow your budding biologists to discover first-hand through two activities. In the first, groups work together to discover whether a solid cylinder or an empty cylinder can support...

Do predators look for different things in different seasons? The quick interactive shows how some species survive longer in one season than another based on the conditions. The challenge questions encourage pupils to demonstrate that...

Trees are the star of a three-step unit celebrating Arbor Day. Step one takes an in-depth look into the structure of a tree, the process of photosynthesis, and the benefits of the leafy giants. Step two challenges scholars to create a...

Is there a relationship between height and the number of siblings? Classmates collect data on their heights and numbers of brothers and sisters. They apply statistical methods to determine if such a relationship exists.

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

You are what you eat, as they say! Are you more starch or more protein? Young scholars use their knowledge of each component to test different foods for their content. Using multiple indicators, individuals describe the protein and...

So many bodily activities depend on homeostasis! Give learners a solid background to understand the basic process of the human body. Scholars first examine negative feedback loops contributing to body temperature regulation and then a...

How effective are cells at repairing UV damage? An inquiry-based lesson has learners experiment with organism by exposing them to various levels of UV light and then examining their DNA after a period of time. Pupils test different...

Pupils use the six released free-response questions from an AP Calculus BC exam to prepare for their own exam. The questions cover a range of topics from the BC curriculum, with half of the items coming strictly from AB material and...

Young scholars recognize and name the parts of a flower. They explain the function of each part of a flower. Students list the steps that occur for sexual reproduction of a plant to take place. They recognize and name the male...

Sixth graders study microorganisms. In this microorganism lesson, 6th graders explore the form and function of these organisms. Students use magnification during experiments on bread.

Young scholars calculate the distance using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance a taxi cab travels. They relate distance to functions and relate it to the real world.

In this combinations worksheet, students determine the number of combinations in a given situation. They explore sets and determine if the relation is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. This one-page worksheet contains seven problems.

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra lesson. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this lesson.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify and label functions as linear or not. They find the domain and range of each function. There are 15 multiple choice questions.

Students become familiar with the importance of money now and the forms of money used in the past.  For this money lesson, students investigate the cour characteristics of money: portable, divisible, durable and acceptable. ...
