Calculators aren't all that useful if they don't return the correct results. In this JavaScript programming exercise, beginning JavaScript coders are guided to fix the results returned by the functions so they return correct values....

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

Practice creating and using functions in a simple JavaScript coding exercise. Move code inside the function definition and then add lines to call the simple function. Adding function parameters and return values are covered later in this...

The JavaScript program you create will answer a simple question about a number. Is it positive, negative, or zero? Create a Boolean expression and use conditional if statements to test the value and then print the...

Create a technical report explaining the components of a medical plan through a function. The project-based learning activity gives a medical insurance scenario that young mathematicians model using piecewise functions. Their analyses...

Verify the rule of thumb for finding the time of death. The project-based learning task asks pupils to determine when the rule of thumb process of finding the time of death is appropriate. Learners develop a function for the rule and...
