Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

Building upon previous knowledge of sequences, collaborative pairs analyze sequences to determine the type and to make predictions of future terms. The exercises build through arithmetic and geometric sequences before introducing...

Extend the concept of exponents to irrational numbers. In the fifth installment of a 35-part module, individuals use calculators and rational exponents to estimate the values of 2^(sqrt(2)) and 2^(pi). The final goal is to show that the...

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...

Students use large numbers and learn exponential representation and explain patterns and relations of powers of 2.

Ninth graders investigate absolute value equations and inequalities. In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders solve and graph absolute value equations and inequalities. Students translate verbal expressions into absolute value inequalities.

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

This interactive website provides a variety of lesson plans according to which standards you are applying and which textbook you use. Introduce functions to your class by having them construct single operation machines and create...

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Students use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship. They write equations in slope- intercept form. Answer key included.

Learners use the calculator to represent a situation as a table, graph, and equation. They write systems of equations and find solutions to systems of equations. In addition, they explain and justify how they determined their solutions...

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

Students use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship. They write equations in standard form and then graph the equations using the slop-intercept form. Answer Key...

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each lesson uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the concepts of the last...

Sew up pupil interest with an engaging, hands-on lesson. Learners first design a sports bag given constraints on the dimensions of fabric. They then evaluate provided sample responses to identify strengths and weaknesses of included...

Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Students work in groups to show understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, percentages, and the application of ratios and proportions. In this decimals, fractions, and percents lesson, students use real life consumer...

Students find the cost of an outfit. In this percentages lesson, students look at ads, pick out an outfit, and find the sale price. They create a commercial and complete 4 included worksheets. 

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Twelfth graders explore Derive.  In this Calculus lesson plan, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the lesson plan, students investigate Pascal’s...

Learners collect and analyze data with a graph. For this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.
