Young mathematicians differentiate between logs and natural logs in this algebra lesson. They solve functions and logarithmic functions. Learners also graph and rewrite the exponential and log functions.

An interesting example of a discrete function and how it is applies to the real world. This could easily make a good collaborative lesson with an environmental science class. Practice reading a table and drawing a scatter plot make up...

Math's gone viral—in the form of an exponential function! The activity uses an exponential function to model the growth of a marketing strategy. Learners create a table of values to observe the pattern in the numbers and then model the...

Eighth graders investigate the input/output model for building function tables. From the data, 8th graders connect tables, graphs, function rules, and equations in one variable. They work backwards to determine function rules for given...

In this properties of trigonometric functions worksheet, students complete 4 sections consisting of 15 problems involving problem solving using Pythagorean and trigonometric identities and sketching functions..

Learners investigate the concept of a thermodynamic system. The difference between a state and phase is defined as part of the experimental explanations given in writing. Students conduct experiments to demonstrate laws of science like...

In this electricity and magnetism worksheet, learners will answer 17 questions about how electrons flow, how electric motors work, and the function of a transformer.

In this bicycle as a system worksheet, students are assigned a subsystem of a bicycle, such as the wheel, the brakes and steering, or the frame. Each group of students identifies the parts, the function, the input, and the output of the...

Students use calculators and "by hand" techniques to compare models of real-life data situations, determine the best model for a situation, and use their models to make predictions.

Students practice the economic concepts of scarcity and opportunity cost. They imagine creating their own businesses and brainstorm what they need to know in order to determine when the business is profitable.

High Schoolers complete a variety of activities as they examine the ethics of (and take a position concerning) genetically modified organisms in the field of agriculture. They complete a PowerPoint demonstration to go along with the unit.

Young scholars discuss necessary community services then complete a worksheet by filling in essential services, the needed inputs and outputs produced by fulfilling the service.

What determines whether a function has an inverse? Learners investigate that criteria when they examine values in a partially completed input-output table for two different functions. The task is to complete the table so that one of the...

Students view the "Parts of a Computer" Power Point presentation then they view the inside of a computer and break down each operating system and its job. They compare and contrast the difference between human and computer parts that...

Students randomly select a planet, including Earth. They research key features of the planet including mass, volume, density, gravity, temperature, weather, geology, atmosphere, surface features, location from sun, Earth and other...

Ideal for use as an introduction to the idea of inverse functions, this activity investigates rainfall as a function of time. Learners use the data displayed in a table of values to analyze the function and its inverse, including why the...

Students demonstrate their ability to collect, organize, and display data. They examine everyday objects that can be turned into a function machine for the lesson. They use colored fish to help them organize their data.

In this discrete least squares worksheet, students use a linear algebra approach to discrete last squares approximation. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 10 problems.

For this Algebra II/Pre-calculus worksheet, students analyze and build digital circuits.  The six page worksheet contains eleven problems.  Answers not included. 

Students explore the concept of fractions, decimals, and percents.  In this number sense instructional activity, students use a worksheet to guide them through the exploration of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and...
