Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Students observe relationships between quantities. Students complete activities for three different classes of levers. In groups, students build each type of lever. Students identify levers in their daily surroundings. Students observe...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

Starting with similar triangles and dilation factors, this unit quickly and thoroughly progresses into the world of right triangle features and trigonometric relationships. Presented in easy-to-attack modules with copious application...

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...

Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides. 

High schoolers solve matrices by multiplication. In this algebra lesson, students create coded messages and relate it to solving matrices. They multiply and find the inverse of matrices.

High schoolers construct perpendicular bisectors using Cabri Jr. on their graphing calculator. They then construct conditional statements about perpendicular bisectors along with their converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

Don't get out of order! Examine the effect of order on a sequence of transformations. Learners perform reflections and translation transformations in sequence. They see that changing the order of the transformations does not always have...

What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard...

Graphing by hand does have its advantages. The 19th installment of a 35-part module prompts pupils to use skills from previous lessons to graph exponential and logarithmic functions. They reflect each function type over a diagonal line...

Students study Newton's Laws of Motion. They review an assessment task and rubric and discuss Newton's Laws of Motion. They discuss how to test the relationships of mass and acceleration in personal situations. They write a one-page...

Students discuss the relationships between dissolved oxygen in a stream, stream temperature, organic waste loads, and stream conditions by studying and using a model of dissolved oxygen in the stream.

Were it not for Sir Newton, our understanding of physics and matters of the world would be drastically different. Present your class with detailed information of Newton's Second Law as they explore the concepts of mass and acceleration....

What better way to explore working with fractions then by using them when cooking? In this lesson, students use video, the Internet, and real world, hands-on learning activities to enhance their understanding of multiplying and dividing...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

Build a true understanding of division of polynomials. Learners use their knowledge of multiplying polynomials to create an algorithm to divide polynomials. The area model of multiplication becomes the reverse tabular method of division.

Young scholars multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students calculate acceleration due to gravity.

Learners identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Students become familiar with how to get information from the Internet. In this math and technology lesson plan, students measure objects on a measurement sheet found on a web site. They practice using a standard unit of measurement...
