Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Candy is a big business! Calculate the amount of money consumers spent on major holidays—Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Valentine's Day—based on the total amount of candy sales from 2011 and the percentage of each holiday's...

This trigonometry textbook takes the learner from a basic understanding of angles and triangles through the use of polar coordinates on the complex plane. Written by a mathematician-engineer, examples and problems here are used to...

Turn your classroom into a local cell phone store. Then, have your cell phone agents use linear equations to visually display three cell plans and their advantages. It makes for a great group project. Discuss how to decide which plan is...

Students explore the concept of functions. For this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Young scholars explore the concept of linear functions. In this linear functions lesson, students translate linear functions from tables to graphs to equations. Young scholars use an applet to write a function rule for a linear...

Students investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as compare and...

Students explore and examine the increases and/or decreases for water user groups: irrigation, municipal, manufacturing, steam electric power generation cooling, livestock, and mining. They utilize percentage changes during their...

Students investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

Students analyze and develop symbolic representations to describe the amount of water left in a pool being pumped out after a given amount of time, with various pumping rates and initial quantities of water in the pool.

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Students solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

Students investigate scores as they relate to race. In this algebra lesson, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra activity, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

In this systems of equations worksheet, students solve and complete 23 various types of problems. First, they solve each system of equations by  graphing on the grids provided. Then, students solve each system by substitution and by...

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Students graph and solve equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students use simple factorization to simplify expressions. They review for an exam by doing basic algebra.

Young scholars create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students solve, identify and define linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students calculate the slope and y-intercept of a line. They graph the line given two points and the slope.

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. ...
