Students explore a linear, a parabolic, and a log function.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson plan students investigate the graph a line, a parabola, and a log function.  Students examine the three graphs as they compare...

Students practice solving systems of linear equations using the substitution and elimination methods. They determine if the system has one, infinite or no solution. Students also graph the linear equations.

In this linear and quadratic function worksheet, students examine and solve a system of equations. They graph each function on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Ninth graders review their knowledge of functions.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders determine if equations are linear or nonlinear, determine the slope and y-intercept of equations, and determine if a relation is a function in...

Using three set of data that relate temperature to another variable, 10th graders will use graphs, tables, or equations to make predictions about data. Students will identify the relations as linear or non-linear. Students will define...

Eighth graders work together in groups to discover linear functions. They are giving a situation and they are to recreate it in their groups. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students investigate linear, quadratic, and absolute value functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students observe and describe family traits that exist among functions as they use technology to graph several functions on the same...

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

Pre-algebra pupils examine the rate of change and how we can interpret it as a linear function. They are introduced to slope-intercept equations and graphs. Plenty of instruction is provided along with example problems. Note that even...

Through learning how to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students explore the effects of changes in parameters on the graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.  The lesson is designed to be a...

In this Algebra II lesson, students explore the connection between the factored form of a quadratics and the zero of a function. Students use a graphing calculator to verify factoring numerically and graphically.

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

High schoolers define and graph properties of linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students write systems of equations to represent functions. They relate linear equations to the real world.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear equations by identifying the slope and y-intercept of the equation. They  have to rewrite some of the equations in to y= mx + b forms first. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

What function will describe the insect population growth? Pairs or small groups work together to determine which type of function and specific function will model given scenarios. The scenarios differentiate between linear,...

Getting the best pick of the apples depends on where to pick. The short assessment presents a situation in which class members must analyze a real-world situation to determine the cost of picking apples. The pricing structures resemble...

Give your class a concrete example of exponential growth and decay using this hands-on activity. These Algebra II lessons allow for the exploration of exponential growth and decay models, as well as the discovery of the patterns of...

There's a function for that! Scholars examine real-world situations to determine which type of function would best model the data in the 23rd installment of a 35-part module. It involves considering the nature of the data in addition to...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the maximum and minimum of a shaded region. They identify the boundaries and their vertices's. There are 2 problems.

Through discussions and journaling, classmates determine methods to associate types of functions with data presented in a table. Small groups then work with examples and exercises to refine their methods and find functions that work...

Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson in a series of nine. They...
