In this quasars instructional activity, students read about how astronomers can detect quasars by their luminosity. Students use a given equation to solve 4 problems including finding quasar magnitude, determining the number of quasars...

In this solar flare reconstruction worksheet, learners read about the 'saturation' point of satellite detectors when solar flares are at their most intense phase of brightness. Students are given x-ray flare data and they re-plot the...

Show your classes the importance of mathematics in something as simple as bicycle design. The final lesson in the six-part STEM series has each group research a different aspect of the bicycle. Learners use mathematical formulas, linear...

In this slope field worksheet, students use a slope field for a rate equation. Using Euler's Method, they identify the piecewise linear function approximating the solution of the initial value problem. This four-page worksheet contains...

In this Euler's method instructional activity, students compute the successive approximations for a given function. They compute the piecewise linear function to produce the approximation to the solution of the initial value problem. ...

In this rate equation worksheet, students use Euler's method to estimate the value of rate equations. They use the piecewise linear function approximation to determine the solution of an initial value problem. This two-page worksheet...

Students investigate the volume of a solid.  In this calculus lesson, students use integration to find the volume of a solid generated by a region, the Orion crew module. 

Students collect data using the CBL. For this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Pupils explore the concept of absolute value inequalities and equations. In this absolute value inequalities and equations lesson, students discuss how to solve absolute value inequalities and equations through teacher led discussion and...

This set of questions includes problems on recursive sequences, piecewise and step functions, and translations of functions. Questions are multiple choice, true/false, and short answer with solutions included.

The tutorial explores functions from the numerical, algebraic, and geometric viewpoints. Students learn about the concepts through class notes, examples, and practice problems. Topics include domain and piecewise functions. Quizzes are...
