Learners engage in a lesson about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches the...

Grow your knowledge of Calculus AB. Items released from the 2007 AP® Calculus AB exam provide information to teachers about the importance of particular topics. Pupils use the questions to gain an understanding of ways the exam assesses...

In this math worksheet, students examine the possible dimensions to construct two different fences. They try to maximize the area for the best value of space.

Students explore the process of creating a Powerpoint presentation. They choose a "How to" topic, conduct research, organize their ideas, and develop and present their Powerpoint presentation.

Need to build a laser fence on Mars?  In this cute maximizing-area lesson, young explorers pretend to be prospectors on Mars and must determine the best way to use 20 meters of fencing in order to maximize their area. In addition,...

Students model data using quadratic equations. For this algebra lesson, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.

For this derivative worksheet, students identify second derivatives and find the directional derivative of a function. They also list the extremes and saddle points of a function. This one-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

In this function worksheet, students identify all numbers in the interval. They determine open intervals, find the local maximum and local minimum. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

You can't see patterns in a jumble of numbers ... so organize them! Learners take a set of data and use a line plot to organize the numbers. From the line plot, they find minimum, maximum, mean, and make other conclusions about the...

Review the form of a quadratic function, and the parabola it creates. Continue on with the whole group to work through a mini-lab, practicing how to graph quadratic equations with one variable. The goal of this lesson is for the group...

For this multivariable optimization worksheet, students determine the local maximum and local minimum of given functions. They identify the critical points for given function and match contour plots to the proper functions. This four...

Get out your TI-nspire graphing calculator and explore polynomials. Learners determine where a given polynomial are increasing or decreasing, find maximums, minimums, and zeros of polynomials, and discuss end behavior of polynomials....

What information can be gleaned from a box and whiskers plot? Discuss the five summary values - minimum, maximum, upper and lower quartiles, and median - and what conclusions can be made from these values? Included here is a matching...

Circular motion can make you loopy! On this physics worksheet, learners practice solving problems regarding centripetal force, rotational period, speed, acceleration, and more. A flying aerobat and a couple of amusement park rides make...

Students solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.

Pupils identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra lesson, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

In this review for Calculus BC exam worksheet, students solve sixteen various multiple choice problems.  These problems are designed as review and preparation for the AP Calculus Exam.

Students investigate the concept of using quadratic data to plot coordinates on a plane. They also apply the quadratic formula for a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator to draw the parabola for given coordinates.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Young scholars define properties of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, students graph and factor quadratic functions. They write equations for polynomials, given a graph.

In this graph of a function activity, students graph a function and find the value at a given point. They determine the absolute minimum and maximum of an interval. This two-page activity contains three problems.

For this measures of central tendency worksheet, quick-thinking pupils use mental math to find the mean, median, and range of samples. They use mental math to calculate subtraction problems. They complete 20 problems in which the answers...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. In this graphing activity, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.
