Scholars identify the domain of a rational function in this precalculus lesson. They identify the removable discontinuity and label what will make the denominator zero. Learners also describe properties of the graph as it relates to the...

Learners define the term species, and graph species data together with previously collected data at the National Zoo. They interpret graphed data and recognize patterns in the streamside quadrant versus hillside quadrant. Students use...

Fifth graders make a model of the ocean floor.  In this ocean characteristics lesson, 5th graders complete a KWL chart about the ocean floor, use the Ocean Depth Data Sheet to create a graph, and create a 3-D model of the ocean floor.

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Students analyze the derivative of a graph. In this calculus lesson plan, students identify the different behavior of a graph. They label concavity of the graphs as increasing or decreasing.

Here is a 15 minute activity that can be used as review, a warm, or as a quick example of how to relate functions to the real world. Learners complete an application activity and draw conclusion about functions then discuss open and...

Learners identify the different angles and sides of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students identify the six trigonometric ratios. They graph the graph of each trig function and analyze it.

Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.

Learners collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx.  Learners explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function. 

Students bring in different trash items and define "marine debris" through a discussion about these items. They categorize debris and use statistics and graphing to better explain the types and amounts of marine debris found each yea

Learners describe the end behavior of polynomial functions. Pupils relate the behavior of the graph to the exponent of the graph. They differentiate graphs with odd-exponent and graphs with even exponents.

Young mathematicians learn to write algebraic equations. They solve and graph different polynomial functions with different powers. They then graph radicals and identify the domain and range.

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...
