Curated OER
Parabolic Paths
High schoolers investigate properties of parabolas. For this algebra lesson, students identify the different paths of a parabola. They use the navigator to make observations of the parabola.
Curated OER
Extraneous Solutions
Students find the roots of quadratic equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve radical equations and identify the positive and negative roots. They graph and analyze their functions.
Curated OER
Polynomials: Factors, Roots and Zeroes
Students factor polynomial equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the zeros of the equations. They use algebra to rewrite word problems using symbols.
Curated OER
Graph Logarithms
Mathematicians graph logarithmic equations. Teach your students how to identify the intercepts of logarithmic equations and tell whether the function is increasing or decreasing. They find the domain and range of each function.
Curated OER
Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
Students determine the volume of a rectangular prism. They then maximize and minimize the volume given variable side lengths. Finally, they factor the volume equation to determine the side lengths.
Curated OER
Vertex and Factored Form of Quadratic Functions
High schoolers graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations by factoring. They identify the end behavior of the graph.
Curated OER
Comparing Exponential and Power Functions
Young scholars compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus instructional activity, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base...
