In this algebra activity, students solve systems of equations using linear and quadratics. They graph their solutions on a coordinate plane. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Eleventh graders investigate inverse functions.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders use their prior knowledge of linear, exponential,and quadratic functions to create a graph of an equation they have never seen...

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive lesson has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

Students graph exponential equations of the form y=Ma. They understand the effects of M, a, and k on the graph. They solve application problems using exponential functions.

High schoolers graph exponential equations and solve application problems using exponential functions. They re-enact a story about a peasant worker whose payment for services is rice grains doubled on a checker board. They place M &...

A solution will work one way or another: find solutions, or use solutions to find the function. Learners use polynomial identities to factor polynomials with complex solutions. They then use solutions and the Zero Product Property to...

Your learners will practice many ways of describing data using coordinate algebra in this unit written to address many Common Core State Standards. Simple examples of different ways to organize data are shared and then practice problems...

Ready to share the beauty of the inverse function with your classes? This algebra II lesson guides the discovery of an inverse function through a numerical, graphical, and an algebraic approach. Connections are made between the three,...

In this graphing rational functions worksheet, students answer 18 multiple choice problems about rational functions.  Students determine values for a which a function is undefined given the equation of the function.

In this linear quadratic system instructional activity, students explore a system with a linear and a quadratic equation. With the given equations, students graph the parabola. They identify the axis of symmetry, the slope, points of...

High schoolers investigate linear, quadratic and exponential equations using the TI calculator. They identify relation and functions using ordered pairs, graph the data, analyze the data, and relate it to real-world situations.

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

In this trigonometry worksheet, learners solve quadratic trigonometric equations. The seven page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and sixteen multi-part questions. Answers are not included.

Need to build a laser fence on Mars?  In this cute maximizing-area lesson, young explorers pretend to be prospectors on Mars and must determine the best way to use 20 meters of fencing in order to maximize their area. In addition,...

Your learners analyze a table of real-life data in order to write an equation that best models the information. Exponential, quadratic, and linear rates of changes are all possibilities in this task.

Critical thinking is an important aspect of mathematics — it's time to put your brain to work! Use this assessment to challenge pupils and test their skills. Concepts assessed include function notation, factoring, completing the square,...

Is foot length to forearm length a linear association? The class collects data of fellow scholars' foot length and the length of their forearms. They plot the data and find a line of best fit. Using that line, they make predictions of...

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

Break it up into pieces to solve the problem. Individuals watch a video on how to graph and determine the equation and values of piecewise functions. Viewers then work several exercises to practice evaluating a piecewise function at...

Young scholars investigate equations that are in the standard form of a quadratic equation represented as Y=ax2+bx+c. They factor the equations into linear factors to determine the x intercepts. The graph is also used to determine the x...

Relate factors to zeros and x-intercepts. Scholars first graph quadratics in both standard and factored forms to see that they are the same. They go on to use the graphs to see the relationship between factors and x-intercepts.

Carryout the lesson to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping. They...

No laundry or cooking dinner here: these parent functions are all about math. Every graph you could think of from basic linear functions to the hyperbolic arccotangent function are included. With 40 parent functions, the worksheet...

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. For this algebra lesson, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also identify the slope and y-intercept.
