Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. For this algebra lesson, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.  

Fourth graders determine how to complete input/output tables. They express rules for input/output or function tables. They complete a worksheet that it is associated with the lesson.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Second graders decipher a pattern using input and output. In this functions lesson plan, 2nd graders use input and output numbers to find a pattern involving addition and subtraction. Students use the pattern they discovered to help...

In this composition functions instructional activity, students solve 1 short answer problem. Students find f(g(-3)) given the f(x) and g(x) functions.

Young scholars look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box,...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Young scholars explore mathematics by completing a graphing assignment in class. In this math functions lesson plan, students practice graphing X and Y coordinates on a graph and checking their work with partners. Young scholars complete...

For this algebra worksheet, students graph exponential equations and use the formula to translate the graph on a coordinate plane. There are 3 word problems.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders factor polynomials and find the roots of the equations. They write the rules representing the equation and how to solve it. There are 9 questions.

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

Babies grow at an incredible rate! Demonstrate how to model growth using a linear function. Learners build the function from two data points, and then use the function to make predictions.

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.  

When complicated algebraic expressions are involved, it is sometimes easier to use a table or graph to model a context. The exercises in this lesson are designed for business applications and require complex algebraic...

Show your classes the importance of mathematics in something as simple as bicycle design. The final lesson in the six-part STEM series has each group research a different aspect of the bicycle. Learners use mathematical formulas, linear...

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

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...

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

Your classes become video game designers for a day! They utilize their matrices, vectors, and transformation skills to create and design their own game images. The complex task requires learners to apply multiple concepts to create their...

Your business executives choose which of three equivalent forms of a quadratic equation is the most useful for finding various pieces of information in this task centered on a company's profits.

Just between us, this is a pretty cool lesson! Given two functions with the same slope, learners write three new functions whose outputs are all between the given functions. The question is open-ended, allowing pupils to explore the...
