Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to...

How do you combine linear and nonlinear functions? You piece them together! The lesson begins by analyzing given linear piecewise functions and then introduces nonlinear parts. Then the process is reversed to create graphs from given...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

It's Valentine's Day in geometry class! Celebrate the day of love with a heart-themed activity in which young mathematicians create a cardioid on polar graph paper.

Take some time to reflect on graphing. Learners count a point's distance from the line of reflection to create reflections of geometric figures. Given the rules for four basic lines of reflections, pupils determine the points to create...

In this coordinates worksheet, students tell whether 2 animals are located on the X or y coordinates. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students describe relations and graph linear functions. After studying a geometric shape and a verbal statement, students contrast the differences between the verbal statement and the picture. They determine functions and graph...

In this slope of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include determining the slope of a line. First, they determine the slope of a line that contains two given points. Then, students determine the...

For this graphing practice worksheet, 5th graders plot squares on a graph with an x and y axis. Once students locate each square they must color a certain design in that box to create a larger picture.

Middle-schoolers explore the concept linear equations. They use the internet to navigate through videos and problems. Pupils problem solve to determine rates of change, slope, and x and y-intercepts.

Can your class solve linear equations in two variables? They will be able to after they engage in this lesson. Individuals graph linear equations in two variables using slope and intercept and identifying the relationship between the x...

This is a teacher page for a instructional activity and does not include any materials to support the instructional activity. Learners graph quadratic equations with a coefficient of one and create a table of values to graph a quadratic...

For this intercepts and slope worksheet, students find the slope and/or the x and y-intercepts in fifty-three problems.  Students also graph lines using the x and y-intercepts.

Eighth graders work in one collaborative group to understand how ordered pairs are represented and graphed on a coordinate plane. They identify points on the coordinate plane and communicate their understanding of ordered pairs and their...

Students explore the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and discuss how it is important for structural engineers in order to be able to describe locations in space to fellow engineers. They participate in a hands-on activity...

Running out of logarithm questions in class? The nicely organized two-page worksheet provides practice in rational, logarithmic, and exponential functions. All the topics include graphing, solving, and finding domain and range. 

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope lesson, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on the grid....

Compare graphing an inequality in one variable on a number line to graphing an inequality in two variables on a coordinate plane. Young mathematicians work on a puzzle matching inequalities and their solutions. They then complete a...

Here is a task that gives the graph of the solutions of a system of linear inequalities and asks learners to analyze and write the algebraic form of the systems. By turning the problem around, learners make the connections between...

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

Consistency is the key. One lemon wedge per glass of water makes a nice glass of lemonade. Young scholars must identify the number of lemon wedges they need to make the same lemonade in a big gulp cup. They develop their own...

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...

This trigonometry textbook takes the learner from a basic understanding of angles and triangles through the use of polar coordinates on the complex plane. Written by a mathematician-engineer, examples and problems here are used to...
