Use this resource to present your number crunchers with how to write a constraint equation and to determine viable solutions. The price of an object limits the amount that can be purchased. The speed at which you walk limits the number...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Your algebra learners discover that exponential functions, with a base larger than one, outgrow linear functions when the inputs increase sufficiently. Their analysis includes using a graphing calculator to produce tables.

This resource is part of a series which expects participants to be familiar with graphing inequalities on a number line. It is a word problem that asks your class to graph a discrete solution set and interpret it in the context of an...

A deceptively simple question setup leads to a number of attack methods and a surprisingly sophisticated solution set in this open-ended problem. Young geometers of different strengths can go about defining the solutions graphically,...

Transform your lesson on transformations. Learners use given congruent triangles and tracing paper to determine the single transformation that carries one to the other. The concept is extended to combinations of transformations to...

High schoolers factor polynomials and linear functions and apply concepts of the fundamental theorem of algebra to solve problems. They graph their solutions and analyze the graph.

Students use a table, graph or equation to represent a quadratic function. In this algebra lesson, students model and graph with quadratic function. They become comfortable representing quadratics using different methods.

Students use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data and...

Solve a real-world problem of discovering how many doctors and nurses can be hired within budget and building constraints. Using different colored pencils to shade each graph, they then find the intersection points and use these to solve...

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

High schoolers practice using graphing calculators and spreadsheets as they explore numeric limits using sequences and functions. They complete a sequencing worksheet, and determine which sequence corresponds to story a story called...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers describe the various features of unit cubes, such as edges, corners, and faces. They also discuss how to represent measurements of a cube using exponents before engaging in various thinking and...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve and graph 3 linear inequalities on coordinate systems. They solve and graph 3 systems of linear inequalities on a coordinate grid.

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Students explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson includes a real-world problem in which the...

Algebra II classes solve problems relating to piecewise functions, step functions, and decomposition/composition of functions. They utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the instructional...

In this college algebra worksheet, students view graphs of two functions. They are given a values chart. Students graph the result of adding the two functions.

In this mixture word problem worksheet, students read story problems and determine what information is necessary to solve the mixture problem. They identify the correct solution, graph inequalities, and solve inequality equations. Nine...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Young scholars analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make...

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics instructional activity, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.
