Class members have some catching up to do. Given a linear equation describing the distance of a runner, young mathematicians interpret the equation in terms of the context. They consider a general equation of the same form and describe...

Direct variation can be applied to many problems and here is a activity that has learners practicing them all. The skills include graphing, finding proportional relationships, and solving word problems to show how different factors...

What does viscosity have to do with splatter? An activity shows that the viscosity of a substance is inversely proportional to the distance of its splatter. Learners conduct the experiment by collecting data, graphing, and analyzing...

In this integral activity, students estimate the definite integral and find the derivative of functions. They graph functions and determine the range of the velocity. This three-page activity contains approximately 40 problems.

In this algebra learning exercise, 11th graders rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They relate parabolas to the real world and calculate the breaking distance using the distance formula they come up with. There is answer key.

In this motion instructional activity, students use a position vs. time graph to determine the distance traveled and the velocity at with the object traveled. This instructional activity has 2 problems to solve.

Take some time to reflect on graphing. Learners count a point's distance from the line of reflection to create reflections of geometric figures. Given the rules for four basic lines of reflections, pupils determine the points to create...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...
