Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

The longer you wait to try the new pizza place, the more it's going to cost you! This real-world problem about how the cost of pizza varies with respect to time is a good example of how piecewise functions are used to describe...

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in Phoenix area. Can be adapted to other areas.

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Pre-algebra pupils examine the rate of change and how we can interpret it as a linear function. They are introduced to slope-intercept equations and graphs. Plenty of instruction is provided along with example problems. Note that even...

For this definite integral worksheet, students use substitution to simplify integrals. They find the values of the upper and lower points and interpret points found on a graph. Students solve this two-page worksheet.

Students discuss the importance and function of nautical maps for sailors. They, in groups, take soundings of a simulated bay in a shoebox and develop a nautical chart that enable them to navigate the shoebox safely.

Students analyze performances. They discuss musical interpretation and evaluate differences in interpretation.

Young scholars examine terminology related to the study of volcanoes, geology, or the ecosystems that surround them. They make note of key words while reading exhibits, interpretive signs, or labels, or hearing them from each other,...

Learners use a glossary of terms and a word search game to learn about mature adults. Thye interpret class rules and advanced organizer for the course. They recognize age-related terms and vocabulary.

Tenth graders use a glossary of terms and a word search game to study mature adults. They interpret class rules and recognize age-related terms. They complete a word search.

Dive into this problem that illustrates a real-world application of the quadratic formula. Learners are given an equation that represents the height of a diver above the water t seconds after leaving the springboard. The task is to...

Students participated in guided listening lessons of Louis Armstrong's jazz music while interpreting his lyrics. They study his life as an entertainer and goodwill ambassador for the US.

Learners investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Digital, analog, and now binary clocks? The lesson teaches individuals how to interpret binary code. They use an online software program to read binary clocks.

Studens collect and graph data. In this algebra lesson, young scholars use a CBL and CBR with a TI Calcualtor to observe linear graphs. They use the correct vocabualry as they discuss the collected data.

Learners review the general form of the solution to the Dirichlet problem on the rectangle 0 ≤ x ≤ a, 0 ≤ y ≤ b with homogeneous boundary conditions except for u(a, y) = f(y). Then they use the symmetry to find the general form of the...

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the wave equations that are presented in a variety of situations. They also sketch a solution as directed.
