Water To The Max

Get your swim trunks on because it's time to start filling up the pool for spring time! Let your mathematicians calculate the volume of the pool so Max and Joey know what time the pool will be full based on the water flow. There are...

The language and features of functions get careful treatment in a complex but doable lesson. Learners get a lot of practice really figuring out what a graph means in context, and also identifying key features of graphs. Key ideas like...

Is this going to be on the test? A calculus study guide provides an organized list of important topics and a few examples with answers. The topics include elementary functions, limits, differential calculus, and integral calculus,...

What are some basic features of functions? By looking at functions in graphs, tables, and equations, pupils compare them and find similarities and differences in general features. They use attributes such as intervals of...

Section six in this series of twelve units takes a turn toward modeling, with lessons on exponential growth and decay, determining angle of rotation, and linear programming. Theory isn't neglected, however, as learners also confront...

This second of twelve algebra 2 units continues the first section's emphasis on matrices and using technology tools. Through these lessons, the class will manipulate polynomials and solve systems of equations, convert units, find...

How long did you say? Class groups plot the distances between Earth and Mars and determine the trigonometric function that models the data. Using a calculator, they graph the function to determine when the distance and communication...

Are you always looking for extra problem resources to incorporate in your classes?  A set of problems for a full AP Calculus course may be all you need! Each unit has a full set of questions and a sample test.

Where should I stand to get the best view? Pupils use inverse trigonometric functions to determine the horizontal distance from an object to get the best view. They round out the lesson by interpreting their answers within context.

Students experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure.  In this experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure lesson, students shoot water out of a...
