Sstudents explore and analyze the properties of geometric areas.  In this geometry lesson, sstudents use technology to simulate spinners and dartboards in order to fing areas of circles and sectors of circles and compare and...

Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Learners predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students observe the action produced by toy cars. In this geometry lesson, students discuss motion and distance as they relate to the movement of a spherical object.They collect data and make conjectures based on their data.

Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Eighth graders determine the relationship between the height of bounce of a ping-pong ball and the height from which it was dropped. They are assessed on the ability to record and interpret data, graph data, make predictions, and make...

Students study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Tenth graders investigate the volume of a cylinder.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders create three-dimensional cylinders and use a ruler to determine the dimensions.  The lesson progresses to the use of the formula to find...

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

Twelfth graders solve first order differential equations using the separation of variables technique. In this calculus activity, 12th graders explain the connection between math and engineering. They brainstorm what engineers do in real...

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

This module leads students through the process of graphing data and finding a line of best fit while exploring the characteristics of linear equations in algebraic and graphic formats. Then, these topics are connected to real-world...

Students submit their own data that can be modeled by a linear function. Students find the line of best fit, and discuss graphs of linear functions.

The online assessment demonstrates knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts in Algebra II. The questions test students on linear functions. Topics include modeling real-world data with linear functions, scatterplots, and regression...

Given a scatterplot where a linear function is the best fit, the student will interpret the slope and intercepts, determine an equation using two data points, identify the conditions under which the function is valid, and use the linear...

Given a real-world situation that can be modeled by a linear function or a graph of a linear function, the student will determine and represent the reasonable domain and range of the linear function using inequalities.

National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics: linear function provides a teacher learning module on how to effectively teach linear function and resources that would help to do this.

In this activity, students explore the nonlinear model for a simple pendulum. They use the calculator to solve higher order differential equations.

In this task, 8th graders are presented with the equation for a linear function and asked to identify which of six problem situations the equation could represent. Aligns with 8.F.B.

A mathematics tutorial that allows you to interactively learn and manipulate the slope and intercepts of a line.

The topic summary outlines linear functions and models. Some topics reviewed are domain, intervals, mathematical models, and linear models. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.
