Students use the internet to research information on the average maximum and minimum temperature for a city in their state. They create spreadsheets and enter data to analyze the information, focusing on averages, maximums, minimums and...

Change the y-intercept by adding a constant to the function. Individuals move three functions vertically along the y-axis. As they observe how the equation of the functions change with the vertical movement, learners determine how...

In this qualitative analysis activity, students explore the S-I-R model of determining given values of a function. They determine the maximum, minimum values and the slope. students write a rate equation for given information. This...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the maximum and minimum of a shaded region. They identify the boundaries and their vertices's. There are 2 problems.

This algebra learning exercise reviews writing polynomials in standard form from factored form, looks at the graphs of polynomials of degree higher than two, and identifies the zeros of polynomials using the Factor Theorem and...

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...

The teacher demonstrates how to use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and identify critical points. Small groups then create their own plots and analyze them and finish by comparing different sets of data using box...

Make the most of your prom—with math! Pupils write and use a quadratic model to determine the optimal price of prom tickets. After determining the costs associated with the event, learners use a graph to analyze the break even point(s).

Poring over the details and characteristics of monopolistic and oligopoly systems, these slides include charts, graphs, and key terms to help viewers truly grasp the concepts behind each market model. From budding economists to...

In this systems of linear inequalities learning exercise, high schoolers solve 10 multiple choice problems about linear inequalities.  Students determine the maximum and minimum values of systems of linear inequalities.

Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students explore and derive functions. In this calculus lesson, students graphs a function and find the derivative of each function as they compare exponential graphs. They relate and compare each function to its derivative.

In this histogram worksheet, students read given histograms and answer questions regarding each one. This one-page worksheet contains a total of ten problems.

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.  

In this scatterplots worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different word problems with different sets of data. First, they sort the data set in increasing order and find the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and...

In this area and volume worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of one of the numbers with the square of the other number is to be as large as possible. Then,...

In this extrema worksheet, students use graphing calculators and the optimization method to identify the maximum and minimums of a given function. They compute the first and second derivative, and graph the functions. This eight-page...

Learners are given a graph of a parabola on a coordinate system, but intercepts and vertex are not labeled. The task is to analyze eight given quadratic functions and determine which ones might possibly be represented by the graph. The...

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.

This comprehensive lesson plan reviews solving and graphing quadratic functions and functions of higher degree.  Using the vertex form of a quadratic functions, one finds the vertex, minimum or maximum, and axis of symmetry. A few...

In this math worksheet, students label each of six integrals as true or false. They evaluate twelve integrals. Students evaluate the graph of a function.

Students research climate data for a city in each of the 5 major geographic sections of Texas. They use data to describe the climate and what influence the geography of that section has on the weather.

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Determine the better deal. Pupils write the equation for the cost of printing tickets from different printers. They compare the costs graphically and algebraicaly to determine which printer has the best deal based upon the quantity of...
