Students take photos of objects and write an equation. In this equations with photos lesson, students take pictures of objects around the school that have the shape of mathematical items learned in class. Students also draw in an x-axis...

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

Students use the bisection method to approximate the roots of a polynomial. They evaluate functions for a given point, graph linear and quadratic functions, and recognize the elements of polynomial expressions.

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

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...

Learners participate in a lesson in order to practice using systems of equations in order to graph them. A cumulative project in the form of a brochure, web page, or interactive kiosk make this lesson more engaging.

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...
