Evaluating and analyzing exponential functions will help your archaeologists find the amount of Carbon 14 remaining in a plant in this real-life task centered on carbon dating. Learners will also be introduced to the concept of half-life.

Your young fishermen learn about exponential function growth by interpreting the pieces of the given equation within the context of numbers of fish in a lake.

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Explore metric measurement, recording data, and creating an electronic spreadsheet displaying results with your math class. Scholars will measure the length of their smiles, record the measurements, and represent the results on an...

What better way to learn graphing inequalities than through discovering your own method! Class members use a discovery approach to finding solutions to inequalities by following steps that lead them through the process and...

Math scholars identify four different rock types in that strata and use this identification and data to construct a two dimensional geologic cross-section. They use data tables to construct a three-dimensional geologic cross-section.

Humans have been developing number systems for thousands of years, and while they can be very different from one another, they can also share surprising similarities. Take your young mathematicians on a journey through the history...

There are many ways to approach finding the rational approximation of an unknown square root. Here is a problem that will help math learners make a connection between square roots and their order on a number line. As usual, determine two...

Assume all you know is that the variable Q represents a value that is bigger than the value represented by the variable P. Which is larger P + Q or 2P? The problems in this activity get more complex than...

First there was pi and now there's e. A discovery-based lesson helps learners find a pattern in compound interest as the compounding period changes. Their investigation results in the discovery of the number e. The lesson is the first in...

Don't let your class's heart rates rise as you introduce them to differentiation ... an inquiry-based lesson helps them keep it in check! The second lesson in a three-part series asks learners to analyze the rate of change of different...

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

Carryout the lesson plan to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping....

Learners explore lists and determine the derivative for that list. They use regressions to discover equations. 

In this math worksheet, students find the domain and range of trigonometric functions. They estimate the limit of a given function. Students identify three statements about one to one functions as true or false. They solve for k in two...

In this math worksheet, students draw a graph of functions on a polar graphing system. They graph two functions by first plotting them on the vertical axis as a function of a given angle, then by plotting them at a radial distance from...

In this math worksheet, students analyze two vector fields. They tell which of the vector fields is the scaler field for the given function. Students draw solution curves to match the differential equations represented in the illustrations.

In this derivative worksheet, students solve functions, sketch the direction of the rate of change, and describe functions using polar coordinates. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

In this integral worksheet, students analyze equations using the gamma function. They sketch graphs of functions, and find the are between the graph and the x-axis. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step equations.

In this math worksheet students find the solution u(x,y) of Laplace's equation in a given rectangle with specified boundaries. Students use the chain rule to compute values for a function and relate this answer to Laplace's equation....

In this math worksheet, pupils determine if the definite integral of given functions exist. They use a Taylor polynomial to approximate given values. Students express the arc length of a graph on a polar coordinate system as an integral.

In this integration worksheet, students evaluate the divergence or convergence of improper integrals. They explain limits of functions. In this one-page worksheet, students solve six multi-step problems.

In this math worksheet, students compute the quotient of two differential amounts. They compute the trigonometric functions of a given variable. Students compute the derivatives of three functions.

In this function worksheet, students compute the directional derivative of a function and identify the xy-coordinates of the maximum and local minimum. This two page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.
