Functions behaving badly: the squaring function and the absolute value function are both zero at x=0. Yet when you divide each by x, different things happen. Here, your class will explore each scenario as a means to adding depth to their...

In this parabolic learning exercise, students write an equation of a parabola which satisfies given conditions. They match equations to the correct graph. Students identify the vertex, domain and range of an equation. This one-page...

In this polynomial worksheet, students write polynomial equations, determine the discriminant of equations, and find zeros of functions. This two-page worksheet contains 16 problems.

Pupils graph the factors of a quadratic as linear equations and graph the parabolic equation in factored form. Also, they investigate the relationship between the x-intercepts of the lines and the zeros of the parabola.

In this polynomial activity, learners find all zeros of polynomials. They write polynomials as the product of linear fractions. This two-page activity contains 27 problems. The second page provides answers.

In this quadratic equation worksheet, learners solve quadratic equations by graphing. They identify the exact roots or state consecutive integers between which the roots lie. This one-page worksheet contains seven problems.

Students solve quadratic equation by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to get a visual of their graph. They create a table of values, plot their points and graph the parabola.

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Factor in this resource when teaching how to factor polynomials. Scholars use algebra tiles to factor linear and quadratic expressions. They practice their skill by working on example problems from a worksheet.

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Learners engage in a lesson about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola that matches the...

Challenge high schoolers with a thorough math resource. The 20-page test incorporates questions from upper-level high school math in applied and higher order questions.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Students factor polynomials and use long division t solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students find the zeros of polynomials by synthetic and long division. They perform operation using complex numbers.

Young scholars convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor...

What's the opposite of multiplying binomials? Learners apply their previous knowledge of multiplying binomials using algebra tiles to factor trinomials. The lesson introduces factoring as a process that uses algebra tiles to...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Find the zeroes ("roots") of quadratic functions and the vertex of their parabolas. Functions are given in standard, vertex, and factored form. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

Practice these multiple-choice problems over features of quadratic functions.
