Make the most of your prom—with math! Pupils write and use a quadratic model to determine the optimal price of prom tickets. After determining the costs associated with the event, learners use a graph to analyze the break even point(s).

Middle and high schoolers solve systems of equations relating to money and explore substitution and elimination strategies. In this activity, pupils review The Chicken and Pigs problem and compare their solutions with the graphing...

How are functions related to chicken nuggets? A video teaches the concept of a function using the idea of a nugget-making machine as an analogy for a function machine. Learners determine if a relation is a function from an equation and a...

Solve simultaneous linear equations, otherwise known as systems of linear equations. Pupils practice solving systems of linear equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination. The workbook provides a class activity and homework for...

In this linear programming worksheet, learners solve and complete 6 different word problems related to programming. First, they define the variables in each problem and write a system of inequalities. Then, students graph the...

In this linear programming worksheet, students define variables and write a system of inequalities for the given situation. They model the solution through graphing. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step word problems.

With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...

What makes data big? The 38th installment in the series Crash Course Statistics provides a definition of big data and its origins. It shows various methods and resources on how to collect big data and how companies use big data for a...

This video introduces the basics of trigonometry. It starts by defining a right triangle and showing two different examples of finding the ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent using the SOH-CAH-TOA mnemonic. This resource could be used as...

Students investigate Mayan Numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare our number system to the number system of the Mayans. They identify base 10 and base 20 numbers including zero in the Mayan symbols. They solve a Mayan problem.
