More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Middle and high schoolers use the slope intercept form to graph a line. For this algebra lesson, pupils rewrite equations from standard form to y-intercept form. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph a line without making a table...

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Find an easier way to double it. Using the price of an item and the Consumer Price Index, learners determine how long it will be for the price to double. Scholars calculate the length of time it would take for the price to double using a...

Your class will be very interested in the results of this activity. How long does it take a MP3 and video game player to charge?  Sam only has an hour and the MP3 player only has 40% of its battery life left. Plus, his video player...

Your Algebra learners analyze and solve an exponential equation in this popular, real-life model of the cooling of a liquid.  

Learners review the principles of graphing linear functions. They discuss plotting points on a coordinate plane, solving using a table, and then graphing. Students solve problems and determine the slope of the line, y-intercept and if...

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

students construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi, and investigate both its asymptotes and inflection points. They construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi and conjecture the asymptotes and inflection points of the function. ...

Pupils investigate the connection between factors, zeros, and graphs of quadratic functions.  The lesson requires the TI-nspire handheld.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students solve trigonometric equations, prove trigonometric identities, and graph trigonometric functions. The four page worksheet contains sixteen questions. Answers are not...

Young scholars explore the concept of linear equations. In this linear equation lesson, students change parameters of an equation and notice the effect it has on its graph.

Have your class investigate Piecewise functions by matching a position versus time graph to the function that describe the walk.

In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders examine the affects of changing h and k in the vertex form of the parabola.  The three page instructional activity provides explanation of topic, worked examples, and four...

Students solve problems using the distributive property. In this algebra activity, students solve equations by multiplication and combining like terms. They graph their lines on the calculator.

Students create line graphs for given data in Microsoft Excel. Students follow step by step instructions on how to create their graph, including how to create a trend line. Students print graphs without trend lines and manually draw...

High Schoolers engage in a study of quadratic functions and focus upon the finding of equivalence and its connection between functions. They also practice factoring using the FOIL method while manipulating the equation. The lesson also...

Learners practice finding the areas and patterns within a square and explore the concept of quadratic functions. They observe and record the area values in a table, plot a graph of Area versus Distance and complete a variety of student...

Eighth graders investigate the input/output model for building function tables. From the data, 8th graders connect tables, graphs, function rules, and equations in one variable. They work backwards to determine function rules for given...

Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

In this math worksheet, students read the definition of continuity found in Calculus. Then they graph the functions while defining the points of continuity.
