Algebraic Function Teacher Resources

Find quadratics in the world. Learners select ways to compare and contrast linear and quadratic functions and how to demonstrate knowledge of parabolas in the world. Teachers assign a third task challenging individuals to find equations...

Wrap it all up in a box. Pupils review the key concepts from an Algebra 2 polynomial functions unit by working 19 problems. Problems range from using the Remainder Theorem to find remainders and finding factors; sketching graphs by...

Calculating domain and range of a function is a challenge! A helpful video shows learners the steps to finding the domain and estimating the range algebraically. Scholars understand the relationship of the domain and range. 

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

How can you tell if number relationships are proportional? Mathematicians investigate proportional relationships. They compare and contrast functions and graphs to determine the characteristics of proportional relationships, as well as...

Secondary learners investigate exponential functions in a real-world scenario. They collect data on the temperature of a cooling baked potato, enter the data into lists, and graph the data using a scatter plot before finding an...

In this M & M worksheet, students perform probability experiments.  They collect and interpret data, identify the exponential function describing the data and create graphs from the collected information.  This one-page...

Young scholars differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra lesson, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Do you want to play a little one-to-one? Learn to determine algebraically if a function is one-to-one. Work through two examples using the video as a guide. 

In this algebra worksheet, students read about the concept of functions and how to apply them. Then they fill in the graphic organizer with the right type of functions.

One step at a time! A seemingly linear relationship becomes an entirely new type of function. Young scholars build their understanding of step functions by completing a three-stage activity that incorporates multiple representations of...

Not all linear functions are linear transformations — show your class the difference. The first lesson plan in a unit on linear transformations and complex numbers that spans 32 segments introduces the concept of linear transformations...

Class members select a picture that contains a parabola and construct a drawing of it using function graphs in the quadratic project. Individuals restrict the domains of the functions to create a more accurate drawing. They then submit a...

This comprehensive unit investigates transformations of quadratics, having learners follow "Optima" through the development and growth of her quilting business. Deftly weaving the story into the mathematical mechanics, the unit gives...

Weight is a function of the distance from sea level. Learners explore the many implications of this fact in an inquiry-based task. Given the function, pupils answer questions before manipulating the function to rewrite the distance...

Is the graph of the equation a function? Use the vertical line test to answer this question. The definition states that the vertical line can pass through the graph of the line no more than one time. The teacher demonstrates exactly what...

Multiply the given algebraic fractions. But first, reduce, reduce, reduce! It is a good rule of thumb to reduce as much as possible before multiplying. So how do you reduce rational expressions? Put the like terms together and cancel the...

This first of twelve algebra 2 resources provides a broad review of many algebra 1 concepts through a number of separable lessons and labs. Starting with the real number system and its subsystems, the sections quickly but thoroughly...

Young scholars explore functions, function rules, and data tables. They explore terms of linear functions. Students use computers to analyze the functions. Young scholars write short sentences to explain data tables and simple...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine if a relation is a function or not and find the functional value of a domain element.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of nine multiple choice and free...

Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Students assess how patterns, functions and algebra can assist NASA engineers design new ways of propelling spacecrafts. They explore how electricity and magnetism are replacing the fuel-consuming rocket propulsion. Electromagnetism is...

In this algebra learning exercise, students complete 4 function tables. Students plug in the different values for x to complete the y sides of the charts.

Students examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.
