Students solve and graph inequalities involving absolute value. They discuss and identify the basic properties of inequalities, and solve basic examples.

If you know one, you know them all! Parent functions all handle translations the same. This lesson examines the quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions. Pupils discover the similarities in the behavior of the graphs when...

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Students investigate the concept of inequalities and practice graphing them at various degrees of difficulty. They review the basic rules with the teacher at the level of theory which may make it harder for them to understand without...

Young scholars identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Young scholars explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation instructional activity, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Young scholars manipulate the applet to examine...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Learners investigate linear, quadratic, and absolute value functions.  In this Algebra II lesson plan, students observe and describe family traits that exist among functions as they use technology to graph several functions on the...

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

Life isn't fair ... like inequalities. After first reviewing inequality symbols and how to read inequality statements, learners discover how to solve one-step inequalities and graph their solution sets.

Math whizzes read a series of slides describing steps to solving linear equations. They view a slide-show presentation. Each page, or slide, presents a different topic. Topics include: defining a linear equations, inverse operations,...

Students review solving absolute value equations. They watch as the teacher demonstrates solving a system of linear equations by addition. Students practice working problems by multiplying to obtain opposite cooefficients, and then...

Young scholars graph non-linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students investigate different polynomial functions and their shapes. They identify the different powers and zeros.

In this functions worksheet, students explore the graphs of fifteen parent functions.  This worksheet is meant as a reference for students.

Use 2x2 matrices to move along a line. The second day of a two-day lesson is the 28th installment in a 32-part unit. Pupils work together to create and solve systems of equations that will map a transformation to a given...

Put geometry skills to the test! Learners solve compound inequalities and then graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane using their geometric skills. They identify the slope and y-intercept in order to graph correctly. I like this...

Students discover how abolute value affects linear functions. They complete a worksheet simulating a path for miniature golf hole in one for three figures. They construct a hole in one graph for each hole marking the X and Y coordinates.

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

High schoolers evaluate functions graphically and algebraically. After completing that step, they write a statement describing the input and output.

Collaborative pairs develop functions that model a graph from a context using the modeling cycle. They then analyze their function models in order to answer questions about the scenario.
