Students design a chair with function in mind. In this design lesson, students design a chair out of newspaper that is strong enough to hold a "peanut ball". Students discuss how the form follows the function. This lesson includes...

Looking for a complete go-to guide for the standard form of conics? This five-page packet does a nice job of connecting conics to prior knowledge of functions and transformations. Adapt the resource as Algebra II lesson plan...

A baseball trajectory and a parabola seem to make the best pair in real-world quadratic applications. Here is a current baseball resource with questions, discussions, and explorations regarding a quadratic function and home run...

Table the decision to land. Pupils form flight crews by matching up different representations of linear equations. Given a set of coordinates for an airstrip, the crews determine the equation of the line that will position their planes...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear equations and write them in the y-intercept form. They evaluate and solve equations. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Algebra learners explore, analyze and build an exponential equation given its form and a specific point that exists on the function in this task. The last question asks learners to apply their ideas to an exponential equation given two...

There's no easier test than the vertical line test. Learners drag a vertical line across the graphs of several relations in an interactive. They answer a set of challenge questions that focus on whether the graphs represent functions.

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

There is zero reason not to use the resource. Given a graph with a polynomial function and a linear function, scholars move the line in an interactive. To wrap up the lesson, they note how zeros and intersection points change.

Learn to gain power in finding derivatives. The resource introduces the power rule. Using the sliders in the interactive, pupils create polynomial functions and find their derivatives. Given the derivative of a polynomial, learners...

A good prompt is hard to find, especially ones that encourage application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of a text. Help is here in the form of a prompt list for George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four that offers essay topics that...

Models make math manageable. Individuals investigate a cubic function that models the volume of a cube through the interactive.

What does it take to make a town run smoothly each and every day? Scholars create their own Biztown with hands-on interactive activities. Using games, demonstrations, and decision-making skills, they learn what resources they need for a...

Focus on chapter two of Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science with a questioning activity. After teaching and modeling several types of questions, learners work with partners and then independently to answer and...

What a creative lesson! Learners make sushi dishes using printmaking methods. They use a  variety of techniques including those involving under glazes and clay. There are instructions and pictures to make this process easy for both...

In this linear function learning exercise, students write linear functions, in intercept form, that satisfy given conditions. They find the local linearity for a function. This five-page learning exercise contains examples, explanations,...

Explore rational functions with this packet. A lot of information is provided, including several examples. Learners graph rational functions and find vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes. This seven-page worksheet contains...

Students will display the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle and discuss in their groups what patterns they see in the rows of numbers. They will give responses and discuss that these numbers form what is called Pascal's Triangle.

Fifth graders explore mathematics functions. In this functions lesson, 5th graders explore 1 and 2-step functions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students also practice solving problems that their...

High schoolers factor polynomials and linear functions and apply concepts of the fundamental theorem of algebra to solve problems. They graph their solutions and analyze the graph.

The class examines graphs in the form r = F(¿¿) in polar coordinates (r, ¿¿), in particular with the circle, ellipse and other conic sections. They determine the nature of an ellipse by studying the role of the semimajor axis and...

In this function worksheet, students identify functions, express decimals as fractions and write decimals as a geometric series. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Ninth graders begin the instructional activity by watching a PowerPoint on the functions of cities. In groups, they use the internet to research various cultures throughout history and the cities that were formed at the time. They...

Fourth graders experiment with electricity and magnetism and build an electromagnetic motor. In this electromagnetism lesson, 4th graders use household objects to show electrostatics and magnets and compasses to show magnetism. They...
