This textbook takes the learner from the basic definition of slope through derivatives, integrals, and vector multivariable calculus. Each section is composed primarily of examples, with theoretical introductions and explanations in...

Ready to share the beauty of the inverse function with your classes? This algebra II lesson guides the discovery of an inverse function through a numerical, graphical, and an algebraic approach. Connections are made between the three,...

Don't be a square! Young mathematicians determine the slope and length of a line segment. They then prove whether four given coordinate points form a square.

Do women with college degrees get married later? Using a provided scatter plot of the percentage of women who earn bachelor's degrees and the median age at which women first get married over time, pupils conduct a linear regression...

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

To complete homework or not to complete homework ... that is the question. Decide whether it makes a difference on finals by doing homework. Individuals create a scatter plot and find a line of best fit for data on the percent of...

How does changing a graph affect the function? Learners watch the changing input-output table as they adjust the location of the line graph. Questions prompt them to complete a table of values and determine the function rule.

Your algebra learners make predictions using the concepts of a linear model from real-life data given in table form. Learners analyze and discuss solutions without having to write a linear equation.

Prepare class members for formative assessments of student thinking in reading (FAST-R) with a resource that compares Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Sympathy" and Maya Angelou's "Caged Bird." Readers respond to 10 multiple choice questions and...

Of course, there might be a correlation! Young mathematicians investigate several different data sets, create scatter plots, and determine any correlation. They consider whether a causation exists between any of the variables in question.

Submerge yourself in the study of slope. Scholars investigate a situation involving slope and the rate of change of a submarine. An additional example further explores the concept of slope by changing one of the conditions of the submarine.

In this differential equations instructional activity, students solve and complete 3 different parts of a problem. First, they sketch a slope field for the given differential equation on the axes provided. Then, students write an...

Students identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use the slope an...

Have you ever tried to light ice on fire? With methane hydrate, you can do exactly that. The ice forms with methane inside so it looks like ice, but is able to burn. The lesson uses group research and a hands-on activity to help scholars...

Students explore graping linear equations and their relevance to real life situations. After a teacher led demonstration, students work at their desks and on the board to plot points and determine the slope of a line. Students then...

Students calculate the slopes of secant lines. For this calculus lesson, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve problems by graphing inequalities, finding the slope of a line and identifying functions. This is a review of chapter 2 on an algebra test. There are 21 questions.

Young scholars find the derivative using the mean value theorem in this calculus instructional activity. They find the slopes of secant and tangent lines, then analyze the function and identify the slope.

In this calculus worksheet, learners practice solving problems that will be on their calculus exam. They evaluate, take the derivative and find the slope of a tangent line. There are 28 questions.

In this pre-calculus worksheet, students calculate the velocity of a linear graph by observing the slope of a line. There are 10 velocity questions.

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 8th graders write the equation of a line given two points and given a linear equation determine the slope, x-intercept, y-intercept, and graph the line.  The five page worksheet contains ten...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

In this Algebra I worksheet, students determine the graph of the equation of a line.    Students determine the x- and y-intercepts and graph. The three page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are not...
