Students calculate the slopes of secant lines. In this calculus lesson, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

The class explores the concept of complex numbers on a website to generate their own Mandelbrot sets. They will practice performing operations with complex numbers and then to get a visual understanding, graph the absolute value of a...

Students respond to prompt with awareness of personal value of possessions. They list the criteria used to determine worth and value. They listen and ask questions or add comments and check their own measures of value with those the...

In this semester review worksheet, students simplify given expressions. They translate word sentences into algebraic expressions, solve equations through substitution, and find the value of a variable in a given equation. This worksheet...

Mansa Musa was so rich that his gifts of gold made the value of the metal drop throughout Africa. As he traveled from Mali to the Middle East to make hajj, his gifts were so extravagant, they devalued the gold already in circulation....

How diverse are the benthic organisms found in local streams? Using the information learned in previous lessons on identification of macroinvertebrates and on calculating stream index values, groups determine the health of local...

How can you solve systems of linear equations? This slideshow introduces learners to the substitution method, the elimination method using addition and subtraction, and the elimination method using multiplication. Guided practice...

Middle schoolers determine the value of rational numbers with fractional exponents. They solve problems containing positive and negative exponents. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems. The answers are not included.

Get those kids to solve and graph 10 different problems that include various types of functions and their relations. They determine if each graph represented is the relation of a function then determine which value of the variable will...

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Young historians explore the identity of the early United States in this four-part lesson series. Working in groups of three, students research the political, economic, and cultural atmosphere of each member of the...

Students delve into questions about how best to use one's time-in one culture or another. They explore the kinds of choices students will make about their use of time and consider the statement: "We are shaped by the values of the...

Students interpret historical evidence presented in primary and secondary sources. In this Great Depression lesson, students read John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and use ethnographic research processes...

Greek Revival architecture and the Civil Rights Movement? Sure! Examine how the Lyceum and Circle, two historic buildings located on the campus of the University of Mississippi, relate to integration and the 1962 riot on the university...

Loaded with concepts ranging from multiplying decimals to converting units to solving problems using the order of operations, a thorough practice packet is perfect for a fifth or sixth grade math classroom.

Linear, quadratic, and exponential functions are represented only by their table of values in this simple, well-written worksheet. Learners decide the type of graph represented based on the differences in the function values....

Show your class members that if they can graph a linear function, they can graph an absolute value function. Groups create an absolute value graph using a table, then entertain the idea of an absolute value function defined as two...

There's value in using a video to analyze a table of values. Pupils learn how to find the limit of a function from a table of values in the fourth of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity. An engaging video gives a tutorial on how...

Measure angles is easy as pi. Pupils review special right triangles to find exact values for trigonometric functions. Scholars learn about radians and how they connect to measurements in degrees. They find exact and approximate values of...

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Don't forget the tables! The previous lessons in this five-part series examined the linear equation and graph relationship. The current lesson adds tables to the mix. At completion, individuals should be able to create a table of values,...

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...
