Eighth graders decide if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affects the type of data collected and the resulting graph through a series of experiments.

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

Eighth graders research careers on the computer to determine which career they are interested in. They create a spreadsheet using the Excel program and calculate the budget for their desired lifestyle and determine if this income is...

Learners explore choreographic narrative. In this choreography lesson, students explore the elements of Appalachian Spring as they develop a series of written responses to assignments that challenge them to investigate the structure of...

Earth science experts learn about the roles of nitrogen by taking a virtual journey through the nitrogen cycle. Completing a passport worksheet along the way, they move from place to place around the classroom by the toss of dice. Each...

Practice with literal equations. Solve for one variable in terms of another.  Find the value of y given specific values of x. This short worksheet would make a good warm-up activity at the beginning of class or a quick assessment at...

Students, while using a graphing calculator, graph systems of conic sections as well as identify their solutions. They complete various word problems dealing with conic sections with their calculators. In addition, students sketch graphs...

Students explore the concept of graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students graph type of gum vs. sugar percentage. Students create a table of their data.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

The topic summary outlines non-linear functions and models. Some topics reviewed are quadratic functions, exponential functions, logistic functions, and logarithms. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.

This resource presents a complete and detailed look at linear regression. This guide provides lots of details and graphs to explain each concept.

Students will compare functions by graphing the functions and describing the patterns in the graphs.

The online quiz assesses student comprehension of math concepts. The quiz consists of true/false questions about non-linear functions and models.

The GraphPad Statistics Guide is both a guide to doing statistical analyses with GraphPad Prism 7, and a concise review of statistical principles, emphasizing clear explanations with very little math. The GraphPad Curve Fitting Guide is...

An exponential function is a nonlinear function that has the form of y=a*b^x, where a != 0, b > 0. An exponential function with a > 0 and b > 1, like the one above, represents an exponential growth and the graph of an...

This lesson plan is directed at introducing students to how to graph functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They will experience several categories of functions including lines and parabolas. Resources and interactive tools are...

A discussion on how to solve linear and nonlinear inequalities is presented. Both the Test Method and the Factor Method of checking positive/negative intervals are included as part of the discussion.

Students can use the TI-84 Plus family to find the minimum or maximum and the zeros of quadratic functions.

This task looks at a possible relationship between height and hand size. Students collect data from classmates, make a scatter plot, and explain the relationship as linear or nonlinear. Aligns with 8.SP.A.1.

Learn how to solve a system of nonlinear equations using the substitution and the elimination methods. This tutorial offers definitions, problems and step-by-step solutions, and practice exercises for you to complete and check.

Students explore an interactive tutorial on nonlinear sequences and then practice their knowledge by attempting ten questions that increase in difficulty level.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use linear interpolation, linear extrapolation, and the line of best fit to make predictions about a data set.

In Spanish. Interpret the graph of linear and non linear functions with this interactive activity.

This resource provides an overview of graphing, giving examples of general polynomial, radical, rational, and piecewise functions. Also includes advice on common mistakes made by students.
