Provide a sketch of the suspect. Scholars see how to use the key aspects they know about polynomials to create a sketch of the graph. Learners factor to calculate the zeros by factoring, find the end behavior, and determine the...

Factor in different strategies in a lesson for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate how they can...

Multiple factors affect the survival of endangered species. A hands-on activity has learners explore those factors. They play a board game that highlights factors such as human influence, habitat availability, and new species introduction.

Use everything you know about quadratic equations to solve polynomial equations! Learners apply the Zero Product Property to factor and solve polynomial equations. They make a direct connection to methods they have used with quadratic...

Challenge algebra learners to use the difference of cubes to solve this problem. Once your charges have taken out the factor (a - b), combined the like terms and set them equal to zero, the problem becomes a factorable quadratic...

Bring a set of 19 math vocabulary cards to your third grade math class. Each sheet contains two cards. The top half has the vocabulary word printed in bold text, while the bottom half has the definition of the word. Card topics...

This comprehensive unit investigates transformations of quadratics, having learners follow "Optima" through the development and growth of her quilting business. Deftly weaving the story into the mathematical mechanics, the unit gives...

While pupils design their own lab experiments, they will not form a new species. Scholars take their materials and design an experiment regarding reaction rates. 

This pre-assessment launches a unit on climate change and weather. 15 questions, both short answer and multiple choice, asses the classes' knowledge about these concepts.
