High schoolers model quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students are given data to graph using a function. They investigate vertex and transformation of quadratic functions.  

Students investigate quadratics through word problems. In this algebra lesson, students models the number of registered males in apprenticeship programs. They investigate the transformation of quadratic function on a coordinate plane.

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.

Students explore decay functions and the half-life of a substance. Through an M&M activity with calculators, students collect and graph data. They determine the linear, quadratic and exponential functions of the graph. Students...

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.

Students solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.

Pupils use properties of exponents to solve equations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

Factor in this resource when teaching how to factor polynomials. Scholars use algebra tiles to factor linear and quadratic expressions. They practice their skill by working on example problems from a worksheet.
