Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson plan introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

Functions as inputs for other functions? After reviewing function notation and how to input values to evaluate functions, class members input functions into functions, essentially determining the composition of functions.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Students explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Your mathematicians will examine several conjectures regarding even and odd functions and investigate a formal proof of the conjectures using CAS. 

Students use graphing calculators to graph lines and create tables of values. They perform an experiment using M&M's and slinkys, then create their tables based on their results.

Eighth graders, in groups, create a newspaper using topics from an assigned chapter. They use ClarisWorks word processing, insert graphics, and create graphs using spreadsheets.

In this math worksheet, students write linear equations in slope-intercept form that passes through the given point. On the last 8 equations, students write the equation of the perpendicular line.

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

Arithmetic and geometric sequences are linear and geometric patterns. Help pupils understand the relationship and see the connection with an activity that asks them to write the rules and classify the patterns correctly. A sorting...

Students compare contemporary cultural differences with historical differences based on population percentage. In this cross-curriculum Gold Rush/math instructional activity, students analyze aspects of California's Gold Rush population...

Eighth graders research box plots on the Internet. They gather real life statistics and analyze the collected statistics by making multiple box plots on the TI-83 calculator.

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Tenth graders review algebraic methods of solving quadratic equations. Students discuss several methods of solving quadratic equations. They practice factoring and finding the roots of an equation for solving. A calculator is used to...

Students study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They conduct a survey of coins in students' possession, graphing the results to show frequency distribution and drawing inferences about the U.S....
