In this function activity, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page activity contains eight problems.

Students explore the concept of functions. In this function instructional activity, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of...

Students explore polynomial functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students explore graphs of polynomial functions as classify the functions as linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.  Students determine the regression equation...

Sixth graders complete a function table and determine a rule for the use of one. They graph different functons from the tables. The analogy of a machine is used as an example for teaching students about functions.

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Students compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base of less than one.

Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.

In this math worksheet, learners find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.

In this function of two variables learning exercise, students explore the relationship between the derivatives of a function and the shape of the graph. They determine the maximum and minimum value using optimization. Students find the...

Young scholars discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit...

Students evaluate rational functions. In this precalculus lesson, students make observations and define what makes a rational function and what makes a linear function. They use the Ti calculator to visualize the different graphs.

Fourth graders solve division problems by practicing on function machine.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

For this complex variable worksheet, students explore the functions of a complex variable. They map complex variables and solve complex inequalities. This three-page worksheet contains fourteen problems.

Young scholars solve exponential functions. For this algebra lesson, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

Fourth graders investigate the terms "factor" and "product." In this mathematics lesson, 4th graders practice solving problems to find the products and factors present in different algebraic expressions.

In this function and graph activity, students read and interpret maps and graphs. They write an equation, define variables and solve the equation. Students solve diamond problems and use the distributive property to solve equations. ...

In this precalculus worksheet, students examine and determine the domain of the three functions provided and apply them to the three problems.

Students analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics activity, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts of...

Students explore slope as a rate of change. In this eighth grade mathematics lesson, students investigate real-world problems to determine rate of change and transform it into a linear representation, thus determining slope. Students...

Students investigate linear functions. In this mathematics lesson, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.

High schoolers practice using graphing calculators and spreadsheets as they explore numeric limits using sequences and functions. They complete a sequencing worksheet, and determine which sequence corresponds to story a story called...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

What's the least number of colors needed to color a U.S. map? The instructional activity begins by having pupils view a video clip on continuous and discrete phenomenon, then launches into an activity reminiscent of Zeno's paradox....
