Learners solve equations by taking the derivative. In this calculus lesson, students solve parametric equations implicitly. They use the TI-calculator to graph their equations.

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Students explore budgeting. In this finance and math instructional activity, students brainstorm ways in which households could save money. Students view websites that give cost reducing ideas. Students complete an expense comparison...

What an impressive task it is to make dental impressions! Pupils learn how dentists use proportional reasoning, unit conversions, and systems of equations to estimate the materials needed to make stone models of dental impressions....

Here's a way to create math fact flash cards! Learners create their own cards and sort them into matching categories. Students start with addition and work their way up to harder math such as multiplication, and are asked to notice...

This task gives geometry learners practice in solving radical equations in one variable and zeros in extraneous solutions.

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This lesson is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

Students create a game board that lists the cities along the Nile River with markers of boats, cars, camels, feet, train, etc.

Students prove and apply theorems of triangle inequality and hinge theorem. In this geometry lesson, students will discuss which triangle is bigger and why. They will use theorems, such as Exterior Angle Inequality or the Pythagorean...

Learners analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

Students investigate the concept of exponential functions and how they increase in size over time. They simplify the functions in order to find the solutions that are possible and perform analysis of the curved line that is produced when...

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...

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Students explore the concept of linear equations. In this linear equation lesson, students change parameters of an equation and notice the effect it has on its graph.

Seventh graders explore linear equations.  In this graphing lesson, 7th graders explore constant rates of change.  Students discover the real-life application of graphs and demonstrate their ability to read graphs and write...

Learners investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns instructional activity, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Learners extend additive patterns based on the core.

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.
