In this learning exercise, learners graph the square root and other radical functions by examining the parent function and the translations and shifts that occur within the function family. The two page learning exercise contains twelve...

Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the factors and use them to graph the parabola. They find the parameters and vertex of each graph.

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

Students discuss how the horizontal transport of heat from equatorial regions polewards drives global wind systems.

In this writing equations of functions worksheet, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students write equations of transformed parabolas and absolute value equations given a stretch/shrink factor and vertical horizontal shift.

Young scholars explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Young scholars collect their boomerang data then...

Students investigate the flight of paper boomerangs. In this flight lesson, students examine the flight variables of paper boomerangs, which they make, by investigating the concepts of lift and drag. They examine what happens when an...

Young scholars explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Young scholars find...

In this algebra worksheet, students graph exponential equations and use the formula to translate the graph on a coordinate plane. There are 3 word problems.

Learners examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry lesson, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

In this periodic functions learning exercise, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the...

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine the affects of changing h and k in the vertex form of the parabola.  The three page worksheet provides explanation of topic, worked examples, and four practice problems. ...

Student use the Ti calculator to graph sinusoidal graphs. For this calculus lesson, students use the CBL to collect and analyze data of sinusoidal graphs. They manipulate their collected data and make predictions.

Students design and construct a simple page scanner

Pupils review horizontal and vertical shifts of a parabola and how they effect a specific quadratic formula. They play a basketball review game in which they try to find the right quadratic equation for a given problem in order to earn...

In this function instructional activity, students observe graphs and determine if the function of the graph is odd or even. They find the inverse of a function and determine the horizontal asymptote of a function. This four-page...

Students create a diagram based on rocks using a computer program. They use the program to put their thoughts in order and to have a sheet to reference to.

Students make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.

Learners work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...

Learn how to solve problems with transformation. Students perform transformation on their graphs. Then, they use the TI to create a visual of the graph as it is moving along the graph.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to function transformations, including vertical and horizontal shifts.
