In this problem solving activity, 6th graders use the Vertical Motion Model to work out and solve 8 quadratic functional word problems.

In this M & M worksheet, students perform probability experiments.  They collect and interpret data, identify the exponential function describing the data and create graphs from the collected information.  This one-page...

in this applications of logarithmic functions activity, students solve 11 short answer problems. Students use logarithms to find half lives, compound interest, and population growth given a word problem.

In this algebra activity, students reverse the numbers of a list to determine the inverse or start with a function to find the inverse. There are 4 questions.

What is the net effect when two waves interfere with each other? The lesson plan answers this question by helping the class visualize waves through graphing. Pupils graph individual waves and determine the effect of the interference...

Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...

Use a one-stop resource for everything you'd possibly want to teach about quadratic functions and models. Scholars analyze key features of quadratic functions as well as transformations of functions through seven activities....

Seventh grade math is so much fun! They solve 10 different problems that include using patterns to complete a table, describe the pattern, and identify the specific term in the pattern for each. Then they give a description of the...

Scholars develop the conversion formulas between Fahrenheit and Celsius with a task that presents the class with two known temperature equivalents between the two scales. Pupils use those two points to develop the linear conversion...

In this math worksheet, students answer 6 questions regarding functions, graphs, one-sided limits, intercepts, vehicle speed and wheel rotation.

Jam packed with problems, this advanced Algebra worksheet focuses on topics such as domain, solving quadratics, solving rationals, and function notation.  

The first 12 problems on this practice page require prealgebra participants to convert units of length. In the next eight problems, they compare lengths using inequality symbols. There are two functions tables to complete and then two...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

A very simple example of a functional relationship between depth of water and time is shown here. In fact, it might be more useful to use a coastal tide book to better illustrate this real-world experience. Pupils are to count the number...

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry activity, students prove trigonometric identities and find all values that satisfy the equations of circular trigonometric functions. The four page activity contains twenty-four problems. Answers are not...

In this math activity, students solve 20 problems in which the math function symbols are missing. Students write the correct sign to make each equation correct.

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Young scholars repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Show budding mathematicans how to find the sine of pi over 12. The third instructional activity in a series of 16 introduces the addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions. Class members derive the formulas using...

Develop a model for a hanging chain. Pupils find a mathematical model for a hanging chain and then they compare their models to the precise function that models the curve. Scholars come up with a strategy to determine how close...

Extend the concept of exponents to irrational numbers. In the fifth installment of a 35-part module, individuals use calculators and rational exponents to estimate the values of 2^(sqrt(2)) and 2^(pi). The final goal is to show that the...

Calculate exact trigonometric values using the angles of special right triangles. Beginning with a review of the unit circle and trigonometric functions, class members use their knowledge of special right triangles to find the value...

Four questions that get right to the polynomial point. High schoolers list all the attributes of a polynomial function, including finding all complex zeros. The last two questions prompt them to write a function based on the given...

Fold, fold, and fold some more. In the first installment of a 35-part module, young mathematicians fold a piece of paper in half until it can not be folded any more. They use the results of this activity to develop functions for the area...
