High schoolers work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the...

Eighth graders practice using the LIST key on graphing calculators using the proper syntax. They work with the functions of mean, median, and mode in a teacher led lesson and then with a partner on a second data set. They follow...

Ninth graders investigate the order of operations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the rules of arithmetic and algebra as they review and practice simplifying increasingly complex numeric expressions using the order...

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and...

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Learners solve systems of equations. In this algebra activity, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Learners explore exponential growth and decay using M&M’s in this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson plan. They investigate the cost of a new car by calculating depreciation and payments.

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

Students research water management strategies in Texas. They analyze projected demand for water in the year 2050, interpret graphs and tables and then discuss the data as part of a written report. They research and map the locations of...

In this algebra/geometry worksheet, students investigate the slopes and equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of eleven multiple choice and free response questions. ...

In this algebra learning exercise, students  calculate the slope and intercept of a line given an equation.  There are 8 questions with an answer key.

Pupils write systems of equations in an augmented matrix and enter it into their calculator. They use the reduced row echelon function on the calculator to solve the system of equations.

Young scholars define the slope of a line. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines using their slopes. They rewrite equations in slope intercept form and explain the meaning of the slope.

In this slope worksheet, students examine graph and determine the slope of a line.  They determine coordinates of a point to make a true statement.  Students identify the dependent variable and the independent...

Students compare and contrast objects and are introduced to a Venn Diagram. In this alike and different lesson, students make observations regarding properties of objects. Students classify object and build ideas about variables....

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. For this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

Introduce the concept of matrices with a pre-designed instructional activity. Learners watch video lessons to learn the ins and outs of adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices. Using provided problems, they practice each operation...

Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

For this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the solution to a system of inequalities by graphing.  The two page worksheet contains explanation, instruction, and four worked problems. 

Learners solve problems about a student earning money for college by tanning moose hides.

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....
