Learners analyze plotted data in this statistics lesson plan. They differentiate between skewed and normal data. They also explore and interconnect exponential growth and decay as it relates to the data.

Can you use triangles to create a circle? Learners develop the unit circle using right triangle trigonometry. They then use the unit circle to evaluate common sine and cosine values.

When is finding the discriminant enough? Using the quadratic formula helps find solutions to quadratic equations, but there are times when just using the discriminant is appropriate. Use this algebra II activity to help classes see...

Students investigate the Legend of the Tower of Hanoi and complete mathematical problems related to the legend. They play the Tower of Hanoi game online in order to discover the number pattern involved. They solve problems using the...

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

In this business and statistics worksheet, students read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Learners use the relationship between volume and surface area to construct a box out of a piece of paper that maximizes volume using a table and by using graphing and calculus techniques.

Students determine speed by running or walking a given distance and dividing the distance by the time it took them to do so. They record their average speed and compare it with the speeds of other moving objects.

In this e worksheet, students are presented with several facts about e and Euler.  Students are also given a technique to help them remember the numerical approximation for e.

In this probability learning exercise, students examine given business situations and determine the probability of an event. They create tree diagrams and contingency tables. This nine-page learning exercise contains 7 multi-step problems.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Eighth graders find the length of the third side of a right triangle.

Students discuss pyrotechnics and what they have noticed about their height and speed. They think about the path which fireworks follow which is a parabola. They follow multiplication patterns to determine the Zero Product Property and...

Student uses Schrodinger's equation applied to a single electron Hydrogen atom. They use angular and radial portions equation to answer questions. Student use a model to answer equation questions.

Fourth graders are given data (class test scores) to determine central tendencies, and find information needed to construct a normal distribution curve. They become proficient in calculating mode, median and average.

Students identify the properties of quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students find the vertex and intercepts of a parabola. They factor quadratics and identify the zeros of the equations.

Twelfth graders test their knowledge of Algebra II and Trigonometry.  In this Algebra II/Trigonometry lesson, 12th graders are provided with a copy of an Algebra II/Trigonometry Regent Exam from the fall of 2009.  The exam has...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn how to graph square root functions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Determine how the graph of a square root function shifts as values are added and subtracted from the function and multiplied by it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Given a function that involves a square root, make a table of values to graph it in the coordinate plane.

The basic terms associated with square root functions are defined in this video tutorial. The lesson provides examples of radical functions, square root functions, and radicands. Students can check their understanding with an assessment.

Create a table of values to graph a square root function and identify the domain and the range.

This StudyCard stack teaches and tests on the square root function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the square root function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch....
