Help learners discover the unique characteristics of the tangent function. Working in teams, pupils create tables of values for different intervals of the tangent function. Through teamwork, they discover the periodicity, frequency, and...

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,...

Using this worksheet, pupils graph 11 simple rational functions. They also find asymptotes, domain, and range for each function. The solutions are provided.

One of the beauties of mathematics is the ability to take words and turn them into symbols. The lesson uses a graph to tell a story, and translates a description of water changing temperatures into a graph. The instructor then reviews...

It's story time! Show your class how to use a distance-time graph to tell a story. They learn to draw and analyze a graph using distance and time data. The story then continues to compare velocity and time. 

It's not magic, it's math! Observe as a collection of points becomes a line. Scholars watch as a video instructor creates a table of values to graph linear equations. Examples include equations in both slope-intercept and standard forms.

How many ways can you graph a quadratic? The video shows two approaches to graphing a quadratic expression that is initially in standard form. The first method finds the vertex using -b/2a. The second approach is to find (h,k). 

Double win with a comprehensive worksheet and an excellent worked out answer key. The worksheet itself is twelve pages and begins with the simple sine and cosine graphs, then, develops into the reciprocal trig functions. 

With 30 problems, each accompanied by a blank graph, pupils get thorough practice solving systems of equations by graphing and finding the point of intersection. Answers are provided in coordinate form.

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...

This template is just begging for your young mathematicians to fill it in with colorful bar graphs! With horizontal and vertical axes in place and grid lines for added support, this is a great resource for teaching children how...

Only choose the pieces needed. Pupils learn a way to graph piecewise functions by graphing the entire function and then only keeping the section of the graph that belongs to the piecewise function. The Mathispower4u video shows...

Get to graphing and figure out the solution between two lines using this 14-problem worksheet. Graphs are provided for the first eight problems, but requires learners to graph the remaining six separately.

Take two linear pieces and make a complete graph. A helpful video shows how to graph a linear piecewise function. Pupils review graphing linear functions and then see how to restrict their domains based on the defining domains for the...
