Develop a model for a hanging chain. Pupils find a mathematical model for a hanging chain and then they compare their models to the precise function that models the curve. Scholars come up with a strategy to determine how close...

Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

Just between us, this is a pretty cool lesson! Given two functions with the same slope, learners write three new functions whose outputs are all between the given functions. The question is open-ended, allowing pupils to explore the...

This fourth of twelve units in a series continues the investigation of functions through equations and inequalities. However, the modular nature of the lessons in the section make this an excellent resource for any curriculum...

Converting lengths is the focus of a metric worksheet that involves mathematicians to calculate a given number by 1000, and then convert a measurement using kilometers into meters. Finally, learners are asked to solve two word...

Find the shortest distance from A to B using the Pythagorean Theorem! Scholars learn they can find the distance between two points by creating a right triangle using the horizontal and vertical lengths and applying the Pythagorean...

Take the mystery out of linear functions. Provided an image with no scale, learners guess where the line that connects them might cross the y-axis. After providing the coordinates of the points, they realize scale is an important...

Simply find the slope to find the average rate of change. A short video provides the definition of the average rate of change. Using the definition, pupils calculate the average rate of change to solve problems that cover finding average...

Ramp up the study of slope. The class participates in a discussion about the physical aspects of stairs and ramps they encounter. Small groups work together and measure a staircase and corresponding ramp to calculate the slope of each....

Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Students work with data about commercial fishing ofsalmon in Alaska. Students gather data, graph it, and analyze it.

Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.

In this college level Pre-calculus worksheet, students examine the graphs of the Tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions.  Students find the intercepts and any asymptotes.   The seven page worksheet contains...

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students calculate the distance they will travel. For this geometry lesson, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates...

Pupils explore how fuel use affects the mass of different planes during flight and graph their results. They determine the per person fuel cost of a transatlantic flight for seven airplanes

In this graphing worksheet, students are asked to graph a "sketch" of a path walked by a student. Directions E, W, N and S are used. Students are given 8 graphs to complete and are then asked to evaluate their findings.

Ninth graders identify numbers as rational or irrational. Using calculators estimation, and factoring methods, 9th graders compute the square root of numbers. They graph numbers in sequential order and round numbers integers to the...

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students explore the concept of exponents.  In this exponents lesson, students evaluate various bases to powers.  The bases to a given power are in the context of miles driven, stops on a route, and minutes spent in...

Students collect data and graph it. In this statistics lesson plan, students rate confidence levels by collecting data and analyzing it. They graph their findings on the Ti calculator.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students solve trigonometric equations, prove trigonometric identities, and graph trigonometric functions. The four page worksheet contains sixteen questions. Answers are not...

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems while interpreting the line, bar, and circle graphs. The examples are given to help in the context of each objective.

Learners interpret data from graphs. In this range and mode lesson, students review a tally chart, pictograph and bar graph. Learners use these graphs to calculate the range and mode of each set of data.
