In this math learning exercise, students eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve given by the parametric equations.

Travel the world from the comfort of your classroom with a lesson that features Google Earth. High schoolers follow a series of steps to locate places all over the earth with sets of coordinates. Additionally, they measure the distance...

Students plot pairs of Cartesian coordinates on graph paper and connect points with straightedges. They examine the lines and determine if they are parallel or not by finding the equations of the lines and comparing the slopes. They...

During a walk-a-thon your learners must determine the walking rate of Julianna's progress. Using tables, graphs, and an equation, they must be able to calculate the time it took her to walk one mile and predict her distance based on the...

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

In this proportion worksheet, students use proportions to find the missing side of similar triangles, they identify the percent of a number, and graph points on a coordinate plane. Students solve real life story problems dealing with...

Transform your lesson on transformations. Learners use given congruent triangles and tracing paper to determine the single transformation that carries one to the other. The concept is extended to combinations of transformations to...

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Pupils investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a reflection.

Using the subscriber website Explorelearning.com, young mathematicians observe changes in the slope and y-intercept and their effect on the graph of lines. This activity helps students develop an intuitive sense of the connection between...

This is a great exercise in graphing proportional quantities to interpret the unit rate as the slope of a graph. It is not easy for learners to understand what a unit rate is. When it is presented as the slope of a linear line graph,...

The last installment of a 35-part series is an assessment task that covers the entire module. It is a summative assessment, giving information on how well pupils understand the concepts in the module.

One step at a time! A seemingly linear relationship becomes an entirely new type of function. Young scholars build their understanding of step functions by completing a three-stage activity that incorporates multiple representations of...

Tenth graders investigate the carbon monoxide level at a fixed latitude. They determine if there is a relationship to population density. They download data sets and generate a graph. They determine a link between human activity and...

Patterns emerge as the class works together to fill in a number grid. This whole group activity is designed to make all learners feel successful, and ultimately turns into a lesson on the least common multiple.

Perform data analysis on energy consumption to apply algebraic expressions to the real world. Learners will write and solve equations that answer various questions from residential power use. They will collect data at home and calculate...

Watch your pupils go round and round as they explore periodic behavior. Learners graph the height of a Ferris wheel over time. They repeat the process with Ferris wheels of different diameters.

Student statisticians calculate ratios to determine how many shades of green were mixed by Ms. Baca's art class. They graph the number of blue parts against the number of yellow parts for each combination and discover that some produce...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Learners discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding coordinates...

Use this worksheet to write equations in both point-slope form and slope-intercept form. Start by writing equations given one point and the slope and finish by writing equations given two points and a few real-world applications. The...

In this functions worksheet, students plot points on a graph according to the rule. Students plot 7 points on each of the 2 graphs given to them.

In this final examination worksheet, students find the tangent function and sine function.  They graph problems on a polar coordinate.  Students describe trigonometric properties.  This twelve-page worksheet contains 80...

In this Calculus worksheet, students use a graphing calculator to boost their understanding of functions and their graphs as they examine the properties of curves.  The forty-two page worksheet contains one hundred problems. ...
