Students use optimization concepts to design their own container. In this optimization lesson plan, students understand how the optimization concept is critical in calculus and why products are packaged the way they are.

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

In this algebra activity, students identify the properties of logs. They solve exponential problems using properties of exponents. There are 6 questions.

Students decide where and when to use parentheses. In this algebra lesson, students use parentheses to clarify a math problems and solve correctly. They use order of operation as they solve problems with integers and variable.

In this algebra worksheet, students write equations from a given diagram. They relate these problems with functions having to do with inputs and outputs. There are 10 diagrams to be deciphered.

Introduce your middle and high schoolers to the correct use of quotation marks. They identify examples of correct and incorrect quotations in magazines and edit a paragraph in groups. Use this lesson as a way to reinforce proofreading...

Investigate simplifying rational expressions. Learners define rational expressions, review how numerators and denominators are polynomials and complete several problems using a checklist to ensure they don't skip any steps. Work can be...

Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.

In this surface area of a cube worksheet, learners answer short answer questions on how to find the surface area and calculating the equation for different problems. Students answer 7 questions.

In this algebra worksheet, 9th graders rewrite exponential numbers using scientific notation and condense the equations and expand using the standard form. There are 6 word problems applying the use of scientific notations.

The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...

In this scientific notation worksheet, students view the scientific notation of numbers, write the in between calculation, and the normal way to write the numbers. Students do this for 6 numbers.

Sixth graders will practice dealing with whole numbers using the order of operations and performing calculations using the four basic operations. The activity also includes practical investigation into the use of rational numbers.

This activity consists of three exercises in which learners sketch the graphs of various power functions on the same axes. They use their sketches to make comparisons and observations which lead to generalizations about the graphs...

Order in the math class! Scholars learn to evaluate expressions using the order of operations. A game has them rolling number cubes to determine numbers to use when evaluating.

Students discover how to apply the order of operations to evaluating algebraic expressions. In pairs, they solve problems by placing the order of operations steps in correct order. As an exit slip, students write paragraphs about an...

In this scientific notation activity, students review how to write a number in scientific notation and then how to write a number in standard notation. Then students complete 5 problems.

Students investigate e, pi and exponents. In this calculus lesson, students define constants and non-constants using, pi, e and exponents as an example. They use the TI to work the problems in this lesson.
