Take a another look at ellipses. The seventh segment in a series of 23 in a Precalculus module continues to investigate the graph and equation of an ellipse from the previous lesson. Scholars investigate the fact that the sum of...

Second and third graders are prompted to find the differences of two-digit equations with regrouping. Encourage your class to show their work using models or drawings.

Quadratics and height application problems go hand in hand like teenagers and sleeping in. High schoolers must look at the equation of a diver's height and calculate such features as the height of dive board, time entering the water, and...

Pupils determine equations that match the graphs of transformations and the parent quadratic function. The resource requires class members to attend to precision and think abstractly.

Don't rush into algebra, let learners visualize, guess, and predict their way to a successful math career. The introductory unit incorporates beginner algebraic concepts with shapes instead of variables. Young mathematicians use a...

Far out — plan a trip to space! Aspiring mathematicians steer a space vehicle through an asteroid field, calculate currency exchanges to buy provisions, and determine placement of charges to blow up asteroids. Along the way, they learn...

Teach solving for unknowns through a problem-solving approach. The grouping of five lessons progresses from finding an unknown through simple reasoning to solving simultaneous equations involving three and four variables. Each lesson...

Model inverse variation while solving a real-world problem. Young scholars use the interactive lesson to discover the pattern of inverse variation data. They then use that discovery to write and analyze an equation.

Be a hero, not a zero! Help your classes understand how to solve quadratic equations with the zero product property using an animated simulation. Using the controls, scholars manipulate the zeros and watch as the function and its factors...

No need to justify using this resource. Learners drag justifications for each step of solving an equation in an interactive. To see if they are correct, all they need to do is use a slider and the correct answers appear.

Perform a switch to find the inverse of a parametric equation. Pupils match four parametric functions with the graph of the their inverses. Using the graphs, learners determine whether particular points are on the original parametric...

Calculate galactic orbits in a far-out resource. Pupils drag a point on a circle to graph the orbit of a fictional planet. Using the equation, they find points through which the orbit passes. To finish the simulation, users determine the...

Where does a circular table fit best? Individuals move a circle representing a table into different quadrants of a room. Pupils determine which equation of the circle will place the table in the appropriate quadrant. A discussion...

Read between the lines to find a solution. Budding mathematicians analyze a situation to solve a problem. They view a video presentation of the problem, brainstorm important information to gather, and write linear equations to find...

Strive for gold with an informative resource. A short task challenges learners to investigate the thickness of a box made from a given volume of gold. The box must have specific dimensions, so setting up and solving a literal equation is...

What if a coordinate plane becomes a slope-intercept plane? What does the graph of a linear function look like? Learners explore these questions by graphing the y-intercept of a linear equation as a function of its slope. The result is a...

More than half of AP Chemistry test takers earn a high enough score to get college credit. Improve that statistic by using past test questions including precipitate, molarity, and chemical equations to prepare for a future exam. The...

2018 saw some of the highest AP Chemistry scores in years. The College Board released each test question covering topics from enthalpy to net ionic equations, as well as scoring guidelines and more to benefit future scientists. Example...
