In this limitations of formulas worksheet, students answer four essay questions about functions. Two questions refer to the limitations of formulas. They graph one function and explain how it specifies the rule of the function.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve complex numbers using division. multiplication, addition and subtraction. There are 11 questions with an answer key.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Students access the Internet to search for housing prices in Houston, Texas,(the location can be changed to accommodate any location) and compare the prices to the number of square feet found in the living area of a house.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Students practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

In this slope field instructional activity, 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...

In this Calculus worksheet, students use a graphing calculator to boost their understanding of functions and their graphs as they examine the properties of curves.  The forty-two page worksheet contains one hundred problems. ...

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Learners graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze the graph for...

Young scholars thread a piece of spaghetti through the holes in the cup. One person suspend the cup by placing each index finger approximately one inch in from the ends of the spaghetti.

Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.

Students work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table of their...

Dive into this introduction to graphing in the coordinate plane, and meet a chameleon named Sam. Sam will help guide you through graphing points on a line, using negative numbers, and graphing points in the coordinate plane.

Get independent practice identifying points, graphing points and equations on the coordinate plane. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

A brief refresher on the Cartesian plane includes how points are written in (x,y) format and oriented to the axes, and which directions are positive and negative. Then students learn about what it means for a relation to be a function...

The students will be plotting points on the United States Map. This background and activity could be used and/or modified to fit any social studies class. Students could explore topics ranging from graphing coordinates in pre-algebra to...

This site provides short lesson reviews on how to plot points on a coordinate plane to form polygons. It also gives quick checks in between.

A set of four practice problems finding the points of quadrilaterals on a coordinate plane.

Which stock price had the largest change? How do you know? How do you represent a point on the coordinate plane? Students continue tracking their investments.
