Everything one wanted to know about parabolas in one place. Pupils work 27 problems as a review of the unit on quadratics. Problems range from determining key features of the function and using that information to graph the parabola, to...

Finding the critical numbers of a function can be extreme. The lesson introduces the Extreme Value Theorem to the class with a graph. Pupils then have an opportunity to practice determining the values using an algebraic function.

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

The key is ... After a day of instruction on key features of graphs, groups create a poster and presentation on the key features of their given function graph. The resource provides an extension activity of "telephone" using...

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Linear, exponential, now it's time for quadratic patterns! Learners build on their skills of modeling patterns by analyzing situations with quadratic functions. The sixth module in the Algebra I series has pupils analyze multiple...

High schoolers generate the equation of a polynomial given its roots and the end behavior of the function. They need to apply theorems concerning the multiplicity of roots, conjugates of irrational or imaginary roots to find a...

Transformations of parabolas to fit a particular quadratic equation is taught through this lesson.  In this transforming parabolas to fit a particular quadratic equation lesson, young scholars describe the transformations of the...

In this story problem worksheet, students determine necessary information, write equations and solve the problem. This one-page worksheet contains eight problems dealing with cost, minimum and maximum values.

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...

What is the answer to this question? Pupils use six questions to practice for the AP Calculus AB test. The review questions are divided in two sections, calculator and non-calculator. Additional resources allow teachers to determine how...

What's on the test? Released items provide insight into the AP Calculus test. The six items are split into two groups, two calculator items and four non-calculator items. Resources allow teachers to see what kinds of answers test takers...

Is this going to be on the test? The resource contains the AP Calculus AB free-response questions that were on the 2010 test. Pupils use the six questions to prepare for their tests. Teachers use the included response resources...

So this is the real test? The resource provides the free-response questions from the 2011 AP Calculus AB exam. The six questions are split into two sections, calculator and non-calculator items. Several resources give teachers...

Develop more than just a topical approach to the exam. The six free-response questions from 2006 reveal how the AP exam assesses topics. By using the questions, pupils practice topics such as velocity, sketch slope fields, solving...

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...

How will the exam ask this question? The free-response questions from the 2015 AP Calculus BC exam demonstrate how questions appear on the test. Using the questions, pupils gain experience answering similar inquiries to what they see on...

Students are given a trigonometric function. They find the period of f, the maximum and ninimum values of f(x). Students compute the smallest positive value of x and the smallest positive value of x. They sketch the graph of the function.

Students explore maximum and minimum points, slopes and tangents. In this Pre-Calculus lesson, students solve optimization problems and find rates of change.

In this graphing worksheet, students read the average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures in Paris and use them to complete a color coded line graph. Students graph 24 figures.

In this calculus learning exercise, students solve functions by using the derivatives. The calculate the maximum and minimum of each function presented. There are 28 questions.

In this math worksheet, students write 8 equations of the axis of symmetry and find the coordinates of each quadratic function. Students graph 4 of the equations and state if the vertex is maximum or minimum.

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different problems. First, they count the number of items in each set of data. Then, students determine the mean, median and mode for each. In addition, they...
