In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus worksheet, students examine terms to determine if it forms a geometric sequence and, if so, determine the common ration.  The one page worksheet contains thirty-six problems.  Answers are not...

Fifth graders are introduced to convergence of sequences based on averaging previous terms in the sequence. The power of the "fill-down" function in spreadsheets is exploited. By using various starting numbers, and inferring the limit,...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students investigate the various methods that can be used to solve quadratic equations.  The one page interactive worksheet contains instruction, worked examples and five practice...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders factor quadratic expressions.  The two page worksheet contains explanation of topic, worked examples, and three practice problems.  Answers are not included. 

Students explore the concepts of commutative, associative, and distributive properties. For this beginning algebra lesson, students discuss the terms "commute", "associate", and "distribute" and how they correlate with the related...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders simplify rational algebraic expressions by factoring and cancelling the common factors.  The two page worksheet contains instruction, worked examples, and three practice problems. ...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations.  The six page worksheet contains instruction on topic, worked examples and five practice problems.  Answers are not provided. 

In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation, determine the best method to use when solving a quadratic, and practice using the quadratic...

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders shift the absolute value function horizontally and vertically, stretch and shrink, and reflect parent function. The two page worksheet contains three problems. Answers are not provided. 

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

Learners find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet. Using this data, they create scatter plots of the sequences to determine how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio. They will consider whether series...

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Investigate arithmetic and geometric sequences by using a graphing calculator to determine if a sequence is linear or exponential.

High schoolers solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

Learn how to solve problems with transformation. Students perform transformation on their graphs. Then, they use the TI to create a visual of the graph as it is moving along the graph.

Budding mathematicians graph polynomial functions and examine their zero and y-intercepts. They analyze how the zero and y-intercepts of the numerator and denominator affect the graph of a rational function. Several great additional...

For this closure property worksheet, learners solve 10 different problems using the closure property. First, they determine whether the numbers and the answer are real numbers. Then, students determine if the given sets are either closed...

In this commutative property worksheet, students solve and complete 10 different problems by applying the commutative property to each. They rewrite each equation using the commutative property. Then, students write the reversed order on...

In this word problem worksheet, 5th graders review various mathematical terms by selecting the correct letter that answers each question completely. There are a total of 13 math problems to solve which vary between word problems,...

In the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, some tiny creatures show just how quickly natural selection can turn a mutation into an advantageous adaptation. Watch a video about rock pocket mice, who show that one small change can make all...

Learners classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Fifth graders study place value. After forming teams, they play a game called, "Who Can Line Up the Number." Students observe numbers in expanded form and place representative digits in the correct order.

Young scholars investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson plan helps to develop the skill of number sense.
