Multiply the ways your scholars can find the quotient with polynomial division. A lesson introduces polynomial division via long division, synthetic division, generic area model, and using the definition of division. Learners then...

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Twelfth graders solve first order differential equations using the separation of variables technique. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders explain the connection between math and engineering. They brainstorm what engineers do in real life.

Learners practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson plan, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Have the class factor and solve trinomials of integers in the form x2 + bx + c, where b and c are positive. They relate factoring to area and then follow a specific format to factor their trinomials. Tiles are used to help them...

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different integers making up the trinomial and use the special pattern to factor them. They continue to model the equations and how to factor correctly.

Students explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Students find functions to...

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Pupils investigate the acceleration of a car.  For this acceleration of a car lesson, students make a scatter plot of corvette acceleration data.  Pupils find a model to fit the data by taking the integral of the curve created...

Eighth graders use M&M's to experiment with data. They use a graphing calculator to determine the best equation for their data; linear, quadratic or exponential. They analyze the data to find the half-life of their M&M's.

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Young scholars explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Young scholars predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

The resource investigates quadratic functions and models. Students learn about the concepts through notes and examples. A chapter quiz, review exercises, and chapter summary are included.

Given a situation that can be modeled by a quadratic function or the graph of a quadratic function, the student will determine restrictions as necessary on the domain and range of the function.

The topic summary outlines non-linear functions and models. Some topics reviewed are quadratic functions, exponential functions, logistic functions, and logarithms. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.
