Use list operations to modify an earlier version of Tic Tac Toe. The fourth lab in a series of five has pupils combine list operations to build more powerful operations. They take a project from a previous unit and enhance it to keep...

Reverse the wrapping to get to the gift. Using the idea of unwrapping a gift, the lesson introduces the concept of inverses. Pupils first determine the order needed to evaluate a function at a point, then use the reverse to find the...

In this algebra worksheet, students identify and solve functions by rewriting and plugging in numbers into an equation. They multiply, subtract, add and divide functions. There are 30 questions with an answer key.

In this number sense and operations worksheet, learners solve 15 different types of problems that include reading number lines and solving inequalities. First, they write the scientific notation of various numbers given. Then, pupils...

This interactive website provides a variety of lesson plans according to which standards you are applying and which textbook you use. Introduce functions to your class by having them construct single operation machines and create...

Solve a real-life problem using function-building skills. Presented with an open-ended question, scholars complete a checklist to create and justify a solution in an interesting algebra project. The checklist asks for justifications of...

This is a very strange but fairly amazing activity. You plug-in the number of problems, how you'd like them arranged, and if answers should be available and click retrieve. Like magic a activity to your specifications pops up. This...

Model function operations using a function machine. An interactive lesson has learners determine the patterns of a double function machine. They use the patterns to write functions and make connections between the inputs and outputs.

Use a function to operate on two variables. Pupils look at operating with complex numbers as a function of two variables. The interactive squares the input and adds a constant to it. Learners visualize the resulting output and its...

Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow...

Hammer away at building different types of functions. An engaging lesson builds on learners' knowledge of domain and range to create an understanding of composite functions. Young scholars learn to write composite functions...

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Analyze functions by decomposing complex functions and composing simple functions. Through a detailed lesson plan, pupils learn the vocabulary and notation related to the composition of functions. Practice includes both evaluating and...

Make a connection between rational expressions and rational functions. Pupils review simplifying and performing operations on rational expressions and recall what it means for two rational expressions to be equivalent based on their...

In this signed numbers worksheet, pupils simplify equations by using the indicated operation. They add, subtract, multiply, and divide equations containing two to four positive and negative integers. Three of the 25 equations contain...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Eighth and ninth graders add, subtract, multiply and divide functions as directed. Each problem is written in function notation, and the operation is shown in the same way. For example, students may be directed to find (f+g)(x). They are...

Learners investigate matrices by exploring addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices.  Students find the determinant and inverse of a matrix.  The instructional activity includes a set of practice problems
