Worksheet 8: Rate, Differentials
In this rate worksheet, students read story problems, determine the necessary information, and solve the rate problem. They use differentials to estimate the value of a function at a given point and integrate functions. This three-page...
Curated OER
Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Number Sense and Numeration
Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students discuss number sense as they sort numbers in the correct order. They analyze and label numbers differentiating between rational and irrational numbers.
Curated OER
Geometric Figures and Applications
High schoolers study geometric figures. They use graph paper or Geometer's Sketchpad to construct and decorate geometric shapes, and also create a 3-D polygon using construction paper and a given template.
Curated OER
Direct, Inverse, And Joint Variation
Students engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.
Curated OER
Similarities and Differences in Properties of Different Families of Functions - An Investigation
Exploring families of functions allows students compare and contrast properties of functions. Students discuss properties that include symmetry, max and min points, asymptotes, derivatives, etc.
Curated OER
Shake, Rattle, and Roll
Students make an earthquake simulator and test their structure to see if it lasts through the earthquake. For this earthquake lesson plan, students make a structure and test and record the results from an earthquake simulator made out of...
