In this quadratic applications worksheet, students complete graphs, charts, comparison charts, and more having to do with quadratic equations. Students complete 5 different activities.

Young scholars investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This instructional activity helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders graph a linear function using its slope.  The one page worksheet contains one multiple choice problem with the solution.   

In this precalculus worksheet, students use their graphing calculator to solve equations by finding the graph of an equation and by defining the function. Afterward, they explain the two methods used in solving the problem.

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders shift the absolute value function horizontally and vertically, stretch and shrink, and reflect parent function. The two page worksheet contains three problems. Answers are not provided. 

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

In this calculus worksheet, students identify important rules and properties of the unit circle. They differentiate between polar and complex coordinates. There are 20 questions about the unit circle.

Learners calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

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.

Your learners will get plenty of practice solving quadratic equations in a worksheet using the quadratic formula. An extension to this activity would nicely connect MP5 concepts. Have learners use a graphing program to graph the...

Via the concrete setting of estimating the population of the US, your algebra learners are introduced to a logistic growth model. Comparing and contrasting logistic, exponential, linear and quadratic models, to see which fits the data...

Your middle schoolers will show what they know with their bodies when they become the coordinate plane in this conceptual development unit. Starting with the characteristics of the coordinate plane, learners develop their skills by...

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Good things happen when algebra and geometry get together! Continue the exploration of coordinate geometry in the third lesson in the series. Pupils explore linear equations and describe the points of intersection with a given polygon as...
