It's not just any circle—it's the unit circle. The fourth activity in the series is an introduction to the famous unit circle. While working through a series of activities, young scholars learn the components of the unit circle and how...

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

This is one of those great ideas I totally love. Youngsters with visual impairments practice counting and left-to -right sequencing by counting out a set number of edible objects from the left and putting them in a bag on the right. They...

In this derivative of a power worksheet, students compare derivatives of functions, and graph functions. This one-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Young scholars solve composition of functions. For this algebra lesson, students find the sum, difference and product of functions. They find the inverse of a function.

In this function worksheet, students read word problems and write functions to solve them. They explore the domain and range of each function. This two-page worksheet contains eight story problems.

Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.

Students investigate Newton’s Law of Cooling.  In this Algebra II/ Pre-Calculus lesson, students explore exponential regression as they conduct an experiment to simulate the temperature variations that occur as a liquid cools. ...

Third graders solve In and Out function problems. They analyze a chart and discuss the steps to solving the functions, and discuss the patterns and complete the charts. Students then create a book of repeating patterns using magazines,...

Students discuss the importance of inverse functions and derivatives. For this calculus lesson, students analyze inverse trig functions by solving for missing angles. They graph the functions and discuss integration by parts.

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson plan, students investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

Students explore algebraic concepts using real life situations.  In this equations lesson, students develop strategies to solve missing number problems. Students participate in a board game based on algebraic equations.

Young scholars research the changes in change over time. Students choose one coin to research and trace in history. Young scholars graph out a time line on their coins. Students present their time lines to the class.

Employ proportional reasoning and algebraic understanding to a determine a real world math quandary. Intel has created a project based unit to engage learners in using algebra to describe the physical world. They will create equations,...

Research various types of bridge designs. Your class will be asked to consider what it would be like without bridges while learning about how they work. They will construct a model bridge based on given parameters. They then calculate...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

Get an interdisciplinary edge. Scholars study air contamination and slope. They record the time it takes for air fresheners to reach them at variable distances. They document their times, classify them by distance, and draw a scatter...

Fourth graders investigate the terms "factor" and "product." For this mathematics lesson, 4th graders practice solving problems to find the products and factors present in different algebraic expressions.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Learners solve problems using the composition of functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic equation for its vertex and intercepts. they find the inverse of the function using addition, subtraction,...
