In this simplifying functions worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 11 different types of problems. First, they simplify each function as necessary. Then, students state the vertical asymptotes, holes, horizontal asymptotes, domain...

For this intermediate algebra worksheet, students solve 20 multiple choice problems. Problems range from finding the domain and range of a function to identifying the graph of an inverse of a function.

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...

A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why...

Here is an activity that presents a good example of a function modeling a relationship between two quantities. John is making DVDs of his friend's favorite shows and needs to know how much to charge his friend to cover the cost of making...

An outbreak of the swine flu on a school campus has caused an increase in the number of boxes of tissues sold by the school store. In a real-world-modeling activity, pupils use composition of functions to determine how the number of...

Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

When is finding the discriminant enough? Using the quadratic formula helps find solutions to quadratic equations, but there are times when just using the discriminant is appropriate. Use this algebra II lesson to help classes see...
