Functions: Domain, Range, End Behavior, Increasing or Decreasing
Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive instructional activity has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include...
Curated OER
Technology vs. Nontechnology
Fourth graders determine the range, mean, median and mode using a computer spreadsheet. An identical set of calculations is done without using a computer. The results of each method are compared. They calculate the mode, median and range...
Curated OER
Calculus
Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Lunar Crater Frequency Distributions
In this lunar crater frequency worksheet, learners use the power-law function to solve 3 problems related to the number of craters in a given area. They integrate the power-law function to determine their answers.

Twelve Facts About e
In this e worksheet, students are presented with several facts about e and Euler. Students are also given a technique to help them remember the numerical approximation for e.
Curated OER
Infinite Series
In this math worksheet, students examine the infinite series. They determine if it diverges or converges. Example 2 and 3 is group work to apply the tests for convergence or divergence.
Curated OER
Permutations
For this permutations worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they write a simple conceptual art plan with no more than 3 instructions. Then, students use graph paper and a pencil to draw a plan....
