Getting the best pick of the apples depends on where to pick. The short assessment presents a situation in which class members must analyze a real-world situation to determine the cost of picking apples. The pricing structures resemble...

Young mathematicians solve linear equations by drawing models of algebra tiles using colored pencils. To finish, they solve the same equations algebraically and check their answers using a graphing calculator.

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...

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...

Move on into trigonometry. An informative eBook takes the content of a College Algebra course and adds more relating to trigonometry and trigonometric functions. The content organization allows pupils to build upon their learning by...

After identifying which of the given coordinate points fall on the graph of a line and which fall on the graph of a parabola, pupils write equations for each function.

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Students solve linear equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson plan, students depict real life situation using lines and functions. They identify the slope, data and predict graphing behavior.

High schoolers are introduced to the concept of linear functions. Using new terminology, they describe linear functions in sentences and in data tables. Using the internet, they calculate and record answers to problems which are...

Young scholars practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Students investigate the horizontal intercepts of functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify whether the factor of two functions results in a quadratic equation or not. They compare and contrast linear equations and higher...

In this math worksheet, young scholars determine the range of the function. Then they graph the functions while finding the coordinates on the plane.

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations using the slope and y intercept. They write equations given two points that are on the line.

Learners graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

High schoolers investigate linear, quadratic and exponential equations using the TI calculator. They identify relation and functions using ordered pairs, graph the data, analyze the data, and relate it to real-world situations.

Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Your class can become linear equations masters, as they calculate the rate of change of a function. They observe different types of coordinates as they relate to a graph, then use the Ti-navigator to move the line around and draw...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

It's the one day your classes get to 'shoot' their trash into the can! Scholars collect data related to shooting percentages to analyze. As they move farther from the basket, their percentages change, and a linear model emerges.
