An engaging, and not to mention attractive, lesson plan has prealgebra and beginning algebra scholars examining linear relationships. They consider the rising water level as a swimming pool is being filled. They do so by charting and...

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Students throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

You'll have no regrets when you use the perfect lesson to teach regression! An interactive resource has individuals manipulate the slope and y-intercept of a line to match a set of data. Learners practice data sets with both positive and...

Fourth and fifth graders make predictions using data. In this analyzing data instructional activity, pupils use experimental data, frequency tables, and line plots to look for patterns in the data in order to determine chance. You will...

Ready to share the beauty of the inverse function with your classes? This algebra II lesson guides the discovery of an inverse function through a numerical, graphical, and an algebraic approach. Connections are made between the three,...

Take a functional approach to the national debt. Learners collect information about the national debt by decade and plot the data. They determine whether an exponential curve is a good fit for the data by comparing the percent changes...

Young mathematicians look for patterns in inverse functions as they relate to the original functions. The comprehensive lesson emphasizes vocabulary throughout as well as algebraic and graphical characteristics of the inverse functions.

Build a patio from toothpicks and marshmallows to analyze functions! Learners look for patterns in the data as they create different size patios. As they discover patterns, they make connections between the different representations of...

Learners investigate why theoretical probability doesn't always match reality. The activity involves using Python 2.7 (or Sage) to set up a Bernoulli Trial. It also involves setting up a spreadsheet to simulate the Birthday Paradox....

Learners practice using their knowledge of how to interpret a function and use function notation. The activity includes two questions. Given an input of a function and its output, the first question asks learners to write the ordered...

Students explore the use of variables in the scientific method. They identify the dependent and independent variables through pH testing. Students construct graphs of their data and analyze their findings.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Learners create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Students collect data and create a graph. In this algebra lesson, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

First graders complete center activities as they practice their addition and subtraction skills. They listen to Rick Walton's, "How Many, How Many, How Many" before playing games, and completing addition and subtraction worksheets at...

In this math worksheet, high schoolers graph the data given in the organizer. The functions are used to create the new line for finding the possible unknowns.

Students develop the key concepts of total, variable, fixed, average and marginal costs. The theory of using different business scenarios is applied to different situations for an extension to real life application.

In this differential equations activity, students solve and complete 3 sets of various problems. First, they solve each of the differential equations. Then, students use the given information to evaluate the constant of integration. They...

High schoolers compare two cell phone providers and relate those concepts to motion. In this algebra lesson, students identify the unknown in a problem using variables. They calculate the velocity, motion and displacement of different...

In this rate worksheet, students draw and label given situations, determine the rates and the relationship between them. This two-page worksheet contains 7 multi-step problems.

In this sum of integer worksheets, students formulate and prove the sums of cubes. They explore a quadratic polynomial, cubic polynomial and solve with systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains eleven problems.
