High schoolers recognize relationships between mathematics and music by identifying the frequency and volume of a pure tone. Students discover that sound can be represented as a function and collect pure tones to generate smooth curves.

Young scholars identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Students compare and contrast objects and are introduced to a Venn Diagram. In this alike and different instructional activity, students make observations regarding properties of objects. Students classify object and build ideas about...

Watch your pupils go round and round as they explore periodic behavior. Learners graph the height of a Ferris wheel over time. They repeat the process with Ferris wheels of different diameters.

From derivatives to antiderivatives and back again. Building on the second lesson of the three-part series covering functions, learners explore the concept of an antiderivative. They connect the concept to the graph of the function and...

Young scholars solve inequalities problems. In this algebra lesson, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Make sure pupils have the skills to move on to the second half of the module with a mid-module assessment task. The formative assessment instrument checks student learning before moving on to the rest of the lessons in the unit.
