Show your class that trigonometric functions have characteristics of their own. A resource explores the features of trigonometric functions. Learners then connect those concepts to inverse trigonometric functions and trigonometric...

Have class members going in circles as they model the path of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometric functions. Building on the previous lesson in this series on transformations, learners use trigonometric functions to model wheels of...

Learn how to slide sine back and forth and up and down. Pupils move the starting point of a graph of sine vertically and horizontally. They investigate the changes to the equation of the graph in relationship to the translation. They...

One solves inequalities just like equations ... well, almost. Pupils watch a video lecture on solving linear inequalities. They practice solving inequalities, check their answers with the video, and continue to practice the concept with...

Make the most of your prom—with math! Pupils write and use a quadratic model to determine the optimal price of prom tickets. After determining the costs associated with the event, learners use a graph to analyze the break even point(s).

Fifth graders analyze patterns and begin looking at function tables. This is a pertinent preparation for graphing patterns. In fact, consider giving your class a piece of graph paper and then teach them how!

Model the flight of a ball. Small groups collect time data for how long it takes to toss a ball between two people. The teacher leads a discussion about projectile motion to get the class thinking about how to calculate the equation of...

Give classes a sneak peek at an upcoming test. Scholars work released items from the AP Calculus AB test to prepare for their own exams. The resource consists of six items, two graphing calculator items, and four non-calculator items....

In this systems of equations worksheet, students identify and explore three ways to solve systems of equations:  graphing, substitution, elimination.  They discuss the strengths, weaknesses, and write an algorithm for each...

It's time to show off what they learned! The final lesson in the series is a review worksheet on the topics learned throughout the unit. Scholars solve systems of equations using graphic and algebraic methods, solve system-based word...

Students review solving equations. They solve an inequality and discuss how to graph it. Students work together on one inequality and then graph two on their own. This lesson contains links to a PowerPoint and a worksheet.

Explore the solution to a word problem involving area and perimeter. Learners read and discuss how to approach the problem. In small groups, they determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter using a piece of string....

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A activity presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the...

Two of the strategies for solving systems of linear equations are represented in this foldable: substitution and elimination. Learners solve three examples of each. 

The idea in the resource is to understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. To stay within the context of the standard, skip the part of the resource that solves with unit rates. Instead,...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Break it up into pieces to solve the problem. Individuals watch a video on how to graph and determine the equation and values of piecewise functions. Viewers then work several exercises to practice evaluating a piecewise function at...

Ride to success in understanding systems of equations. Scholars graph a system of equations on the cost of a subway and a taxi using an interactive. Using this graph allows users to answer some questions about the situation.  

Quadratics and height application problems go hand in hand like teenagers and sleeping in. High schoolers must look at the equation of a diver's height and calculate such features as the height of dive board, time entering the water, and...

How can you compare linear functions? The seventh installment of a 12-part module teaches learners how to compare linear functions whose representations are given in different ways. They use real-world functions and interpret features in...

How does your garden grow? Use proportions to help Tim answer that question. By using their understanding of proportional relationships, pupils determine the number of seeds that will sprout. They create their own linear...

At this rate, the class will be experts on ratios and rates in no time. A class workbook teaches individuals about ratio language, using tables and tape diagrams to find equivalent ratios, and solving ratio problems. They then learn how...

Place the pies in a line. Pupils create a graph of a system of linear inequalities to represent the number of pies a bakery can make. Learners analyze the vertices on the graph to determine the number of pies they can bake without...

Let's see what the class learned! The last installment of the 23-part Pre-calculus module consists of nine assessment questions designed to measure a specific portion of a standard in the unit. Learners demonstrate their understanding of...
