It is not as difficult as herding cats. The short interactive provides a group of kittens to sort according to their colors. Pupils determine the mode of the number of kittens by color. The questions continue with other numbers of...

Use variable value sliders to understand variance. The interactive shows four whole numbers, their mean and deviation. Using the information, pupils find the variance of the numbers and respond to question related to the understanding of...

Build a function backwards. Given a graph of the derivative of a function, pupils piece together a graph of the original function, the antiderivative. Learners use their graphs and the graphs of the derivatives to answer questions about...

Accelerate your class through finding the second derivative. Using a bank of equations, pupils determine the equations for distance, velocity, and acceleration and their associated function notations. With the equations, learners answer...

Rolle with the mean values and derivatives. Scholars complete the statements of Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem. Using the interactive to illustrate scenarios, pupils respond to questions concerning the theorems in terms of...

Does the accuracy of the first guess make a difference down the line? Learners investigate the effects of the iterative process of finding roots, using Newton's Method. By moving the initial guess of a root on a graph, pupils observe the...

The more rectangles, the better the estimate. Using the interactive, pupils explore estimating the area under a curve using left-hand sums. Learners respond to challenge questions on how to get better estimates using the same technique.

Close your eyes and visualize a definite integral. An interactive provides a visualization of a function and definite integral on a closed interval. Pupils move one point of the interval in either the positive or negative direction....

Is the inverse of a function also a function? Pupils manipulate the graph of a function to view its inverse to answer this question. Using a horizontal and vertical line, class members determine whether the initial function is...

Investigate ellipses through the lens of medical applications. Pupils use a medical scenario to determine the equation of an ellipse. By using the interactive, learners determine the foci and major and minor axes of the ellipse that...

Using the answers to the challenge questions, class members work through simplifying a complex logarithmic expression that requires changing bases. Pupils drag values to fill in the steps to arrive at a numerical equivalent expression.

Where does a circular table fit best? Individuals move a circle representing a table into different quadrants of a room. Pupils determine which equation of the circle will place the table in the appropriate quadrant. A discussion...

Have you ever finished a piece of cake and wished you had more? Solve this common dilemma with math! A straightforward worksheet prompts middle schoolers to use the given dimensions of a heart-shaped cake when planning to bake two larger...

Need an a-maize-ing lesson to show your class how regulatory genes work? If you use the well-written resource, they'll be all ears! Biology scholars discover the gene responsible for the evolution of the modern-day corn plant through a...

A three-part assessment promotes reading comprehension skills. Class members read literary texts and take notes to discuss their findings, answer comprehension questions, write summaries, and complete charts. 

Scholars read excerpts from the story, Heidi, in a three-part assessment that focuses on comparing and contrasting characters. Each part contains three tasks that challenge learners to discuss, answer comprehension...
