Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Help learners study polynomials. They will review how to multiply polynomials either by using the FOIL method if they are multiplying a binomial by another binomial, or by using the distributive property.

Don't get stuck on the integral when you can incorporate partial fractions. A well-explained guide, there are seven pages and a tutorial video that detail the steps for different types of algebraic fractions. 

Finally! Math and Instagram have come together to discuss the correlation between likes and followers. High schoolers can't help but want to discover what makes one account more popular than another by developing a line of best fit and...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Use the principle of zero product to solve these polynomial equations. There are 21 problems in various forms to solve. Some are already set to equal zero, but might needs to be put in descending order. Then there are sunsequent problems...

What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

Shuffle 'em up and deal! Learners practice operations with polynomials using cards they pass around the room. The activity works with pairs or individuals, so it offers great flexibility. This is the fifth installment in a series of 42...

Multiply the ways your scholars can find the quotient with polynomial division. A lesson introduces polynomial division via long division, synthetic division, generic area model, and using the definition of division. Learners then...

High schoolers generate the equation of a polynomial given its roots and the end behavior of the function. They need to apply theorems concerning the multiplicity of roots, conjugates of irrational or imaginary roots to find a...

Seven problems regarding gravitational pull are presented in this physics drill. Pupils solve for displacement, time, speed, and acceleration. Critical thinking and problem solving skills are both required to complete the assignment. 

Groups explore illumination with NASA's Lighting Environment Test Facility (LETF) as a context. Using the TI-Nspire app, groups determine the lux equation that models their simulation. They then use the lux equation to...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Explore rational functions with this packet. A lot of information is provided, including several examples. Learners graph rational functions and find vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes. This seven-page worksheet contains...

Take your enthusiastic ecologists outdoors to explore the biodiversity right in their own schoolyard! In preparing for this activity, it may be worthwhile to research websites with local flora to help in the plant identification...

In this worksheet, learners identify the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. They solve polynomial functions and simplify expressions and equations. 

In this multiplying and dividing monomials worksheet, students solve 105 short answer problems. Students multiply and divide monomials. Students simplify their answers using exponent rules such as product to a power or quotient to a power.

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve polynomial equations using factoring. They identify the roots of the equations. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

In this integral learning exercise, learners integrate eight problems using partial fraction decomposition.  A review on partial fractions is included at the top of the learning exercise.

Ninth graders investigate multiplication of binomials and factoring of trinomials.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders compare and contrast expansion and factoring using algebra tiles and a TI-89.

Learners explore the concept of biodiversity. In this environmental science lesson, students use field methods to examine the trophic relationship that allows for species diversity.
