Students investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Students graph their results and determine if the...

Have your class investigate Piecewise functions by matching a position versus time graph to the function that describe the walk.

Students collect and graph their data. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the input and out of a function. They find the domain and range and the inverse of a function.

Students identify the meaning of the Mean Value Theorem. In this calculus lesson, students solve problems using the definite integral. They calculate the average value of a function.

Students recognize the situations in which the use of the past continuous would be beneficial in writing. They focus on the use of the past continuous as a descriptive tense when something important occurred.

Ninth graders explore linear functions.  In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders collect and analyze date as they investigate the question of how long will water last if you are trapped in a desert.    Students create...

Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students solve limit problems.   In this solving limit problems lesson plan, students use L'Hopital's Rule.  Students apply L'Hopital's Rule to functions as long as the derivative of the top function and bottom function is...

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Watch an episode of the TV show, NUMB3RS and then explore the mathematics of chain letters and pyramid schemes, both of which involve geometric progressions and exponential growth. They discuss why both are dangerous and illegal.

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.
