Build conceptual understanding of graphs of quadratic functions with an out-of-this-world resource. An interactive lesson allows learners to manipulate a graph that models the launch of a UFO. The lesson focuses on the key features of...

Here is a great instructional activity on constructing line graphs. Learners identify common characteristics of birds, ants common needs of all living things. They also write a story from the perspective of an ant or a bird that has lost...

Birthdays are a time for celebration, and now they're a time for calculation! An AP calculus lesson uniquely explores relationships between a polynomial function and its derivative. Learners create a cubic function based...

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Young scholars repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

In this chemistry worksheet, learners examine the common characteristics of an acceptable graph that is meant to be used to display data.

Study various types of mathematical models in this math lesson. Learners calculate the slope to determine the risk in a situation described. They respond to a number of questions and analyze their statistical data. Then, they determine...

How can we accurately estimate what the economy should produce now and in the future? Have your pupils tackle this question as they learn about real versus potential GDP and as they review data regarding the output gap in...

Performance task questions are the most difficult to write. Use this assessment so you don't have to! These questions assess factoring quadratics, modeling with quadratics, and key features of quadratic graphs. All questions require...

Make up a story about a linear graph. Scholars identify key features of a linear graph, such as intercepts, domain and range, and slope. They then create a word problem that could be represented by the graphed line.

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

This is a great resource to keep daily material aligned to standardized assessments. It offers complete multiple choice and short-answer practice with a wealth of opportunities for customization. Offer it as a whole,...

Explore the concept of, and use the Ti-Nspire to, convert complex numbers into polar form. Then practice graphing complex numbers in the polar coordinate plane.

Using your graphing calculator, find all the rational zeroes of a polynomials by using the Rational Zero Theorem. Divide polynomials using the Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem and then graph it to find the number of real roots.

This heady calculus text covers the subjects of differential and integral calculus with rigorous detail, culminating in a chapter of physics and engineering applications. A particular emphasis on classic proof meshes with modern graphs,...

Students factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the domain and range of the quadratic function. They graph the parabola and identify the vertex.

Students investigate linear, quadratic, and absolute value functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students observe and describe family traits that exist among functions as they use technology to graph several functions on the same...

Students solve, identify and define linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the slope and y-intercept of a line. They graph the line given two points and the slope.

In this calculus activity, students observe graphs and identify the limits of the functions listed in the graph. They determine the definite integrals and derivatives. Students use the trapezoid rule to estimate distance. This...

In this function worksheet, students determine the limits of functions, sketch graphs, and use the Intermediate-Value Theorem for functions. This two-page worksheet contains twenty-two problems.

In this simplifying functions worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 11 different types of problems. First, they simplify each function as necessary. Then, students state the vertical asymptotes, holes, horizontal asymptotes, domain...

In this function worksheet, students determine the equation of a line, compute slope and concavity of a graph, and find the maximum volume of three-dimensional figures. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

A very simple example of a functional relationship between depth of water and time is shown here. In fact, it might be more useful to use a coastal tide book to better illustrate this real-world experience. Pupils are to count the number...
