In this instructional activity, students graph the square root and other radical functions by examining the parent function and the translations and shifts that occur within the function family. The two page instructional activity...

Student use the Ti calculator to graph sinusoidal graphs. In this calculus lesson plan, students use the CBL to collect and analyze data of sinusoidal graphs. They manipulate their collected data and make predictions.

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,...

Eleventh graders study seven functions. They use their handheld calculator to determine which family of functions the equation belongs, the parent function described, and they calculate the vertical and horizontal translation.

In this function worksheet, students observe graphs and determine if the function of the graph is odd or even. They find the inverse of a function and determine the horizontal asymptote of a function. This four-page worksheet contains...

In this writing equations of functions worksheet, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students write equations of transformed parabolas and absolute value equations given a stretch/shrink factor and vertical horizontal shift.

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the factors and use them to graph the parabola. They find the parameters and vertex of each graph.

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders shift the absolute value function horizontally and vertically, stretch and shrink, and reflect parent function. The two page instructional activity contains three problems....

Learn how to solve problems with transformation. Students perform transformation on their graphs. Then, they use the TI to create a visual of the graph as it is moving along the graph.

In this algebra worksheet, learners graph exponential equations and use the formula to translate the graph on a coordinate plane. There are 3 word problems.

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other...

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

Discover the connection between vectors and translations. Through the lesson, learners see the strong relationship between vectors, matrices, and translations. Their inquiries begin in the two-dimensional plane and then progress to the...

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

Students listen to their heart beats. In this biology lesson plan, students explore pulse rates and factors that cause them to change. Students also construct both a graph to show variation in pulse rates and a simple stethoscope.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine the affects of changing h and k in the vertex form of the parabola.  The three page worksheet provides explanation of topic, worked examples, and four practice problems. ...

Looking for a complete go-to guide for the standard form of conics? This five-page packet does a nice job of connecting conics to prior knowledge of functions and transformations. Adapt the resource as Algebra II lesson plan...

Students explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Students find functions to...

Students examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry lesson, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students apply the binomial square theorem to solve quadratics. They complete the square and use the complex number system to solve for the roots.

Students make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.
