In this math worksheet, students practice graphing functions and define the domain. Then they use Lagrange's Theorem to estimate the error involved in using the two Taylor polynomials.

In this math worksheet, students practice analyzing root finding algorithms, Newton-Raphson and secant. They use the examples to master the concepts.

In this math learning exercise, students examine the examples using the concepts of floating point numbers and round off error. Then they compute the data for the given functions.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of floating point arithmetic. They compare the tools of chopping and rounding to measure accuracy.

In this introduction to approximation theory, students compute the slope and intercept of a line. They describe nonlinear relationships. This four page worksheet contains approximately five problems.

In this rate of convergence worksheet, students use three different methods to compute an order of convergence of a function. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 10 problems, with examples.

In this complex numbers worksheet, students compute the value of given expressions and write the answer in complex number form. This one-page worksheet contains three equations.

In this logarithms worksheet, students compute logarithms and investigate the analyticity of the log. This four page worksheet contains approximately five multi-step problems. Examples and explanations are provided throughout the worksheet.

In this root finding activity, students compare graphs and shade in regions corresponding to given convergence criteria. They compute the solution of equations of one variable. This two-page activity contains six problems.

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A worksheet includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

The mean might not always be the best representation of the average. The assessment task has individuals determine the measures of center for the salaries of a company. They determine which of the three would be the best representation...

Winning a spin game is random chance, right? Pupils create a table to determine the sample space of spinning two spinners. Individuals determine the probability of winning a game and then modify the spinners to increase the probability...

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.

Is it a right triangle or not? Introduce scholars to the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem with a lesson plan that also provides a proof by contradiction of the converse. Pupils use the converse to determine whether triangles with...

An intersection is more than just the point where lines intersect; explain this and the meaning of the intersection to your class. The 26th segment in a 33-part series uses graphing to solve systems of equations. Pupils graph linear...

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

Be 100 percent confident who has the most and by how much. Pupils use percentages to help make the comparisons by finding what percent one quantity is of the other. They also determine the percent differences between the two...

Calculate the areas of scale drawings until a more efficient method emerges. Pupils find the relationship between the scale factor of a scale drawing and the scale of the areas. They determine the scale of the areas is the square of the...

Boiling down any division problem to a one-digit divisor problem sure makes estimation easy. The lesson shows how to estimate division problems by using place value understanding and basic arithmetic facts to simplify the division. Some...

Scholars learn to divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm in the 14th installment in a module of 21 parts. They get plenty of practice with the algorithm by completing a worksheet.
