Students test factors that may affect the rate at which sugar dissolve in water. They conduct two studies: One is to test the effect of temperature on the rate of solvation and the other is to test a factor which Students come up with...

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...

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

In this 5th grade math instructional activity, 5th graders solve 10 various types of questions that include place value and prime numbers. First, they find the least common multiple of two numbers. Then, students determine the value of...

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help young...

Make sure your scientists are reporting their work effectively by providing them with a reference for their lab reports. The first few pages of this resource detail each element of a lab report, and the last few pages provide an example...

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

Parent functions and their combinations create unique graphical designs. Learners explore these relationships with a progressive approach. Beginning with linear equations and inequalities and progressing to more complex functions,...

Your algebra learners analyze the value of an algebraic expression to decide if it will increase, decrease, or stay the same when one variable is changed as the others stay constant. Their collaborative efforts culminate with a written...

Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

Of course, there might be a correlation! Young mathematicians investigate several different data sets, create scatter plots, and determine any correlation. They consider whether a causation exists between any of the variables in question.

In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders explore the basic of beginning algebra:  the order of operations, integer operations, translating phrases and sentences, and solving basic one-step equations.  The six page activity...

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

In this bar graph worksheet, students read about making quality bar graphs and they make a bar graph using given data. They answer 5 questions about their graph.

In this inequalities learning exercise, students solve and graph inequalities. They shade the answer region. Explanations and examples are provided at the beginning of the document. Answers are at the end of the learning exercise. ...

Fifth graders explore mathematics functions. In this functions lesson, 5th graders explore 1 and 2-step functions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students also practice solving problems that their...

In this partial derivative worksheet, students calculate the derivative of given problems and find the equation of the tangent plane to an equation. This two-page worksheet contains five problems.

In this math worksheet, students take the time to consider the heat equation. Then they analyze the solution and apply it to a variety of other uses.

In this function activity, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page activity contains eight problems.

Students brainstorm pizza toppings and determine the number of possible ways to order a pizza. In this algebra lesson, students analyze and investigate geometric patterns as they relate to the concept of a variable. Students then...

Students create a spreadsheet to analyze functions. For this algebra lesson, students use spreadsheets to find the intersection of systems of equations. They identify the dependent and independent function as it relates to a line.

In this complex numbers worksheet, students find the solutions to polynomials and write them in rectangular and exponential form. This two-page worksheet contains two problems.

In this polynomial instructional activity, students explore functions, determine the least square error, and explore quadratic spline interpolation. This two-page instructional activity contains approximately six problems.

Students list all equations needed to solve a three variable equation using the Method of Lagrange, after first signing an honor pledge to promise that they have followed the rules on the first page. They solve each equation, telling the...
