The Price of Relief

Math scholars investigate the cost of living in Hong Kong compared to Chicago but must first convert the different types of currency. They then choose a type of graph to compare different spending categories and finish the activity by...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

A line is a line is a line. As a middle school assessment task, learners first identify graphs of given linear equations. They then identify the equations that represent real-world situations.

Use the graphs of the trigonometric functions to set the stage to inverse functions. The instructional activity reviews the graphs of the basic trigonometric functions and their transformations. Pupils use their knowledge of graphing...

Seeing functions in nature is a beautiful part of mathematics by analyzing the motion of a dolphin over time. Then take a look at the value of a stock and maximize the profit of a new toy. Explore the application of quadratics by...

How high is too high for a belly flop? Learners analyze data to model the world record belly flop using a quadratic equation. They create a graph and analyze the key features and apply them to the context of the video.

Use context to explain the importance of the key features of a graph. When context is introduced, the domain and range have meaning, which enhances understanding. Pupils use application questions to explore the key features of the graph...

Parameters can move and change the steepness of a graph. Introduce the effects of changing the slope or the y-intercept of a linear graph. The resource shows how to incorporate changes on graphs and how they will move up, move down,...

Sometimes a graph makes situations much easier to see. After learning about discrete and continuous graphs by watching a short video, scholars match graphs to real-world situations. The provided graphs are a discrete linear graph, a...

Learn how to graph a function that is in pieces. The Mathispower4u Algebra I Video interprets the graph of a piecewise function that represents a cellphone plan. Pupils use the graph to determine the cost for a given number of units...
