Introduction to Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Students solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph linear and quadratic functions. They identify the standard and linear form of each equation.
Curated OER
The Kangaroo Conundrum: A Study of a Quadratic Function
Students play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.
Curated OER
Skeeter Populations and Exponential Growth
Middle schoolers perform investigations on the growth of populations and use exponential functions to represent that growth. They watch a video clip of growth patterns. Students work in groups to determine the "population" of each color...
Curated OER
Moving Straight Ahead
Students analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Students determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.
Curated OER
Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences
Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Determining the Equation of a Line Fit to Data
What makes a good best-fit line? In the 10th part of a 16-part module, scholars learn how to analyze trend lines to choose the best fit, and to write equations for best-fit lines to make predictions.
Curated OER
Correlation of Variables by Graphing
Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing lesson, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.
