What makes a function a function? Learn the criteria for a relation defined as a function both numerically and graphically. Once young mathematicians define a function, they use function notation to evaluate it. 

There are many different options for graphing data, which can be overwhelming even for experienced mathematcians. This time, the focus is on histograms and Venn diagrams that highlight the frequency of a range of data and overlap of...

The middle of the data is important, but what about the rest of it? The lesson shows learners the importance of the range, quartiles, and extreme values. Pupils practice finding each of these values from given data sets.

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...

To the point and deeper thinking are both types of questions included in the worksheet. Begin the practice of solving quadratics and then finish with five questions asking quadratic and exponential application problems. 

How do you apply the traditional division algorithm to polynomials? Here is an Algebra II lesson that extends the use of the division algorithm to polynomials. After establishing the concept of long division, synthetic division and the...

Looking for spring-themed literacy centers? Look no further because here is a resource packed full of literacy skills practice, including spring verbs, ABC order, spring synonym match, spring phrases, abbreviation match, and a sentence...

Learners review how to use the completing-the-square method to identify maximum and minimum values of a quadratic function by watching a video. They see how the vertex form relates to the extreme values of a quadratic function, and use...

Within collaborative groups, scholars factor a degree six polynomial. They can factor the polynomial using many different strategies — a great way to prompt mathematical discussion.

Evaluate patterns of numbers through an engaging task. Scholars work collaboratively to determine a general rule reflecting the sum of consecutive positive integers. Multiple patterns emerge as learners explore different arrangements.

An inverse relationship exists between exponents and logarithms, allowing mathematicians to easily convert one to the other. Scholars apply a brief definition of logarithms with a few practice problems. Then, they discover the...

Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson has scholars use given...

Won't the other properties be sad to learn that they're not the most important? The 11th installment of a 35-part module is essentially a continuation of the previous lesson, using logarithm tables to develop properties. Scholars...

Just how far will the Facebook post go? Lead a discussion on how to manipulate the sum of a geometric series to figure out a formula to find the sum at any step. The plan contains an alternative to the discussion with more...

What is the net effect when two waves interfere with each other? The lesson plan answers this question by helping the class visualize waves through graphing. Pupils graph individual waves and determine the effect of the interference...

It's all in the numbers. Determine your pupils' level of understanding of scientific notation using this assessment task. The final lesson in the series assesses scholars on the application of scientific notation in real-life...

Ratios may not be created equal, but they are equivalent. Pupils learn the theorem relating equivalent ratios and equal values in the eighth segment in a series of 29. Classmates use the theorem to determine whether ratios within...

Substitution is still the method of choice to verify number sentences. The detailed lesson has young mathematicians determining conditions for when number sentences are true or false through substitution. They learn to express these...

Writing a number is all in the notation. The resource introduces the class to scientific notation. Pupils learn the process of taking a very large or small number in standard form and write it in scientific notation. To practice,...

Here's a perfect way to introduce perfect squares. Individuals color in the diagonals of squares and record observations about patterns. They connect their diagrams to exponents of two and perfect squares.

In this vectors worksheet, students draw 15 vectors using a given key with direction and measurement. Students are given a specific distance and direction for each vector to draw.

For this vector worksheet, students solve 6 problems. They are given two drawn lines labeled vector 1 and vector 2. Students draw the resultant vector.

In this naming compounds worksheet, learners name 20 given ionic compounds using complex ions. They use the periodic table and an ion chart to help name the compounds.

In this writing formulas worksheet, students write the formulas for 15 ionic compounds and name their anions and cations. Students balance the charges of the ions to determine the formula.
