Young scholars create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students conduct an experiment to test Snell's Law using a block of lucite and a ray box. They measure the light rays as they impinge upon the block. Students are also asked to draw the situation of the lab or create a model of the...

Students examine the mathematical concept of proportions in an attempt to apply them in various types of problems. The real application of proportions is often found in word problems which requires a them to also practice a systematic...

Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

Students make calculations in order to construct a kite in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. In this kite lesson students calculate altitude of their flying kites using a formula.

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry worksheet, students determine the trigonometric function that best models the given data. The eight page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and twenty-one problems. Answers are not included.

Students perform transformation on trig functions. In this precalculus lesson, students relate the London Eye observation wheel to trig function. They use a TI navigator to visualise the parameter created by this view and relate it to...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Students explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data regarding...

Young scholars research the availability, usage and demand for water in the local area historically and use projections of the availability, usage and demand for water up to the year 2050. They gather data and present the information in...

High schoolers analyze different types of hemoglobin. They use the technique of agarose gel electrophoresis to separate human hemoglobin molecules according to their electrical charge, size, and/or shape. Students relate the migration...

Students set up and solve a system of quadratic inequalities related to real-world situations.

Students are introduced to linear inequalities in slope-intercept form. As a class, they participate when needed in a demonstration given by their teacher and practice graphing inequalities and describing the solution. They set up and...

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine the reciprocal function family in the form y = a/(x – h) + k, identifying the vertical and horizontal asymptotes.  The two page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and two...

Students discuss the directions on a package of seeds. They open the package, count the seeds, and determine the planting requirements for the seeds.

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

Students create a slideshow of multiplication facts using Keynote. Students create slides with a multiplication fact and a picture representation for the multiplication facts from 2 through 5.

Students explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images...

Use these resources when planning instruction on algebraic translations. Offers a lesson with many examples, a practice exercise with answers, and instructions for a class activity where students translate sentences into equations.

This lesson focuses on the relationship between algebraic, graphical, and contextual expressions of linear equations.

Sixth graders will translate between the written form and algebraic form using correct mathematical notation.
