Young scholars explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. For this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Young scholars find...

Pupils investigate linear, quadratic, and exponential regressions. They plot sets of data points, determine the regression equation that best fits the data and lastly investigate the coefficient of determination.

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Students analyze the graphs of polynomial functions, examine vocabulary associated with polynomials, and determine the maximum number of real roots possible for a polynomial

Students identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Students investigate graphs and their asymptotes. In this precalculus lesson, students examine the numerator and denominator of their rational functions. This helps them identify where and when the graph will cross its asymptote.

Students get up close and personal with principles of motion. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze acceleration data on amusement park rides. Students use CBLs to collect data in this lesson.

Students explore polynomial functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students explore graphs of polynomial functions as classify the functions as linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.  Students determine the regression equation...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders classify polynomials by degree, write in standard form, and describe the behavior of the graph. The two page worksheet provides explanation and examples along with thirteen practice...

Students explore decay functions and the half-life of a substance. Through an M&M activity with calculators, students collect and graph data. They determine the linear, quadratic and exponential functions of the graph. Students...

In this minima/maxima worksheet, students solve systems of equations, identify the first derivative of a quadratic equation, and find the critical point in an equation. Using Excel worksheets, students graph four equations. There are...

Students measure and convert between units. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate through measurements of distances. They relate the properties of circle to solving problems with radius, diameter and area.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Eighth graders find connections between numbers in a table; use Pythagoras' theorem in a general algebraic form; and measure accurately from a scale drawing to find a method that might enable the helicopter to land inside a rectangular...

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  For this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

Students explore properties of triangles using angle bisectors, incenters, circles, midpoints, and altitudes. They use Geometer's Sketchpad in order to create triangles and their properties.

Eleventh graders investigate logarithms.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders explore the properties of logarithms that are used to simplify expression and solve equations.  Students confirm their...

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry lesson, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.
