Learners solve systems of inequalities. In this lesson, they identify the solution of the two lines and shade the solution. They identify the boundary line and the region representing the solution.

The class solves systems of linear inequalities. They graph lines and identify the point of intersection.They graph lines and identify the boundary that represent the solution and solution set.

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Learners collect and analyze data regarding exponential functions of the form y = abx.  High schoolers explore the affects of changing parameters on the graph of the function.
