What does it mean for something to grow exponentially, and how does that compare to linear growth? This activity tries to help learners gain an understanding of these concepts while modeling real-world problems. Linear and exponential...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Move on into trigonometry. An informative eBook takes the content of a College Algebra course and adds more relating to trigonometry and trigonometric functions. The content organization allows pupils to build upon their learning by...

What do guitars, candles, and helicopters have in common? They're all in this resource. Learners complete an assessment task to determine the amount of profit made in a guitar class based on given information regarding variable...

How many points are needed to define a unique parabola? Individuals work with data to answer this question. Ultimately, they determine the quadratic model when given three points. The concept is applied to data from a dropped...

Can you graph your story? Keep your classes interested by challenging them to graph a scenario and interpret the meaning of an intersection. Be sure they paty attention to the detail of a graph, including intercepts, slope,...

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...

For this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders match vocabulary words relating to non-linear functions to their definition in a drag and drop game format.  The one page interactive worksheet contains seven matching questions and is self...

In this linear and quadratic equations learning exercise, 9th graders solve 10 different problems related to various linear and quadratic functions. First, they determine the value of a variable by equating linear and quadratic...

Help algebra learners relate a real-life function that happens at the Oakland Coliseum every time the Raiders play. The resource states that the revenue of the Oakland Raiders home games is a function of the number of seats sold and the...

Learners investigate an article on local linearity. In this calculus lesson plan, students read about the application of math in the real world. They gain insight from the teachers view of how to teach and relate the topic to the real...

Students create a spreadsheet to analyze functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use spreadsheets to find the intersection of systems of equations. They identify the dependent and independent function as it relates to a line.

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

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.

In this graphing and analyzing worksheet, 9th graders first state if each graph represents a linear or nonlinear relationship. Second, they create a difference table for each set of data presented and determine whether it represents a...

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.

Your algebra learners make predictions using the concepts of a linear model from real-life data given in table form. Learners analyze and discuss solutions without having to write a linear equation.

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables instructional activity. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms....

Here is a resource that demonstrates growth and the initial state of an equation. In this case, your class will be looking at baseball collections. How many baseball cards did the collector start out with, and how many were added or...

Your movie fans will be interested in this resource. They will compare video streaming plans. One plan charges a set rate per month and a reduced viewing fee, and the other has a flat rate per each video viewed. Unfortunately, students...

Students graph non-linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students investigate different polynomial functions and their shapes. They identify the different powers and zeros.

Students collect data and create a graph. In this algebra lesson, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Students examine a graph and relate it to the real world situation it depicts. They investigate changes in an equation and the appearance of a line. They investigate the connection between the graph of a situation and the meaning of the...
