Get moving to a better understanding of graphs of derivatives. Using motion sensors, scholars vary their velocities to create graphs of the first derivative of a function. The activity challenges groups to first create a script of the...

Take a look at linear functions in a new environment. A three-stage algebra project first asks learners to model the salt concentration of an aquarium using linear functions. Then, using iterations, pupils create a set of input-output...

One of several presentations of eighth grade sample items looks at the basics of functions. Smarter Balanced sample items for Target E highlights the way function content shows up on the assessments. The presentation contains eight items...

Don't give your classes the third degree. Use radians instead! While working with degrees, learners find that they are not efficient and explore radians as an alternative. They convert between the two measures and use radians with the...

You can learn to graph as well as a calculator using calculus. The lesson introduces using derivatives to find critical points needed to graph polynomials. Pupils learn to find local maximums and minimums and intervals of increase...

In a scale measuring noise, an increase in 10 dB is a 10 time increase in power. Mathematicians examine the data graph of a real world exponential growth, with no logarithmic scale, and then create two equations relating the...

Accumulation functions should behave like other functions. Using content from Unit 5, pupils analyze the first and second derivative to determine the behavior of an accumulation function. Learners find out how to calculate the relative...

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

Increasingly, colleges and employers want applicants with strong conceptual analysis skills, so give them some practice! Applying these skills to position-time graphs encourages synthesis of knowledge. To complete an installment of a...

How do degrees relate to radians? The interactive allows pupils to manipulate the size of an angle in a unit circle to help see that relationship. Users determine the radian measure for given degree measures of angles, realizing the...

While World War II was a pivotal moment in history, historians debate its importance to the civil rights movement. Class members consider the implications of segregation and the war using a series of documents and a jigsaw activity....

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders identify the domain and range of a relation and determine if the given relation is a function.  The three page worksheet contains explanation and eighteen practice problems.  Answers...

In this relations worksheet students solve eighteen problems related to relations, functions, and equations.  The first part of this worksheet is designer to be completed with a computer program.

In this function worksheet, students discuss how a function would change if it shifted on a graph. They create ten new, related functions. Students identify odd, even and symmetric functions. This two-page worksheet contains examples,...

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

In this relation machine activity, students input given values into a function to determine the y-value answer. They identify functions. This two-page activity contains four multi-step problems.

In this functions learning exercise, learners distinguish 9 relations as being a function. Students also complete 6 function problems by substituting given information.

In this function worksheet, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Students identify and define what a function is and how to identify them and relations. They also use functional notation to compute the values of composite functions. Finally, students determine the domain and range of a given function.

Learners explore the concept of functions. In this function instructional activity, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Learners use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of...

Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.

Seventh graders identify the use of a function.They are asked to describe the input and output of a function. Students also identify different aspects of the coordinate system and represent functions in a visual graph.

In this college level Pre-Calculus worksheet, students determine if a given relation is a function, graph functions and observe their behavior, and determine if a function is even, odd, both, or neither.  The four page...

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.
