Learners solve several differential equations. In this calculus lesson, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

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. 

A solution will work one way or another: find solutions, or use solutions to find the function. Learners use polynomial identities to factor polynomials with complex solutions. They then use solutions and the Zero Product Property to...

Babies grow at an incredible rate! Demonstrate how to model growth using a linear function. Learners build the function from two data points, and then use the function to make predictions.

Find the best protein-packed cereal. The short assessment task covers equivalent and comparing ratios within a context. Pupils determine the cereal with the highest ratio of protein. A rubric helps teachers with point allotments for...

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Introduce the concept of matrices with a pre-designed instructional activity. Learners watch video lessons to learn the ins and outs of adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices. Using provided problems, they practice each operation...

Objects may be more linear than they appear. Scholars investigate the relationship between the number of bone mineral density scanners in the US and time. Once they take the natural logarithm of the number of scanners, a linear...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students solve word problems using systems of equation. For this algebra lesson, students use computer and graphing to graph and analyze their solution. They solve system involving inequalities.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Learners explore the concepts of rotational equilibrium. They examine the history Alexander Calder and his mobiles. Students solve simple algebraic equations. They predict, draw conclusions, graph equations and examine the rotational...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson plan, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such...

Learners explore cryptology. They write a research paper on cryptography. Using linear equations, students invent a code and write a secret message. Learners complete cryptography puzzles.

In this Pre-calculus worksheet, students solve problems involving hyperbolas. The two page worksheet contains explanation and four multi-part questions. Answers are not included.    

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations and examine the discriminate to determine the number and type of roots a quadratic equation will have.  The two page worksheet...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Students solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson plan, students rewrite word problems using equations and symbols. They correctly convert between percents and decimals.

High schoolers use data from real-life models to calculate and compare the force required for an airplane of a given weight to become airborne. They use a graphing calculator to evaluate data and use the World Wide Web to access data.
