Complete two conversions at once using compositions. Pupils use the conversion formulas for temperatures to calculate a formula to convert directly between Kelvin and Fahrenheit. Classmates determine the meanings of composition...

Do you need to graph lines to see the point? A thorough lesson plan provides comprehensive instruction focused on solving systems of equations by graphing. Resources include guided practice worksheet, skill practice worksheet,...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

This jumbo worksheet contains everything you need to get through Pre-Algebra. Begin with simple expressions, and end with linear functions and polygons. There are multiple problems for each topic to make sure those skills are set. 

In this worksheet students fill out a function table after reading a short word problem. This is a good way for students to practice the necessary skills for solving word problems or setting up algebra equations.

In this scientific notation instructional activity, students perform basic math functions and express their answers in scientific notation.

Four questions that get right to the polynomial point. High schoolers list all the attributes of a polynomial function, including finding all complex zeros. The last two questions prompt them to write a function based on the given...

Show budding mathematicans how to find the sine of pi over 12. The third instructional activity in a series of 16 introduces the addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions. Class members derive the formulas using...

Converting units is an excellent example of how math relates to our everyday tasks. The resource prompts mathematicians to use baking, cooking, and other daily activities to discover how to make larger quantities of...

Viruses can spread like wildfire, and mathematics can model the speed of infection. Given a function, scholars analyze it to describe the spread of a disease within a stadium. Learners find the initial number infected and the maximum...

A simple question sometimes is the best for discussion. High schoolers compare a logarithmic and exponential function and composite them into one another. They graph and compare the difference between the domains. The solution contains...

Young mathematicians put one foot in front of the other as they learn how to measure length in an elementary math lesson. Using paper cutouts of their own feet, children measure classroom objects as they discover the importance of...

Are you looking for a comprehensive review that addresses the Common Core standards for geometry? This is it! Instruction and practice problems built specifically for standards are included. The material includes geometry topics from...

Learners engage in six activities to lead them through the process of conducting a thorough analysis of data. Pupils work with calculating standard deviations and z-scores, finding the area under a normal curve, and sampling...

What is "viral marketing" and how does it relate to mathematics? Young mathematicians use exponential functions to develop a mathematical model for a business advertising campaign. Learners then see how their campaigns increase...

Here is a (great) lesson on using parentheses! The task requires the expression of ages using algebraic expressions, including the distributive property. Pupils use their expressions to determine the individual ages.

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

Multiplication in polar form is nice and neat—that is not the case for coordinate representation. Multiplication by a complex number results in a dilation and a rotation in the plane. The formulas to show the dilation and rotation are...

Graph quadratic functions and find the zero in this worksheet. Twelve problems range from those that could be quickly factored and graphed, to those that require use of the quadratic formula and their graphs approximated. Solutions...

Curve through the points. The resource, created as a review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math test, gives scholars the opportunity to refresh their quadratic graphing skills. Pupils fill out function tables to...

Create tables of solutions of linear equations. A lesson plan has pupils determine solutions for two-variable equations using tables. The class members graph the points on a coordinate graph. 

Use proportions to determine the travel distance in a given amount of time. The 10th installment in a series of 33 uses tables and descriptions to determine a person's constant speed. Using the constant speed, pupils write a linear...

Two-variable equations can express a constant rate situation. The lesson presents several constant rate problems. Pupils use the stated constant rate to create a linear equation, find values in a table, and graph the points. The resource...

The second lesson plan on finding inverse matrices asks class members to look for a pattern in the inverse matrix and test it to see if it works for all matrices. The teacher leads a discussion to refine the process in finding...
