Challenge your students' algebra skills with this activity, which presents students with several types of problem sets, including solving inequalities, graphing, word problems, and a set of algebra problems that may or may not require...

Solve a complex business puzzle by building a linear programming model. An engaging project-based learning problem has classes examining transportation costs and manufacturing limitations from several plants. Ultimately, they use their...

Read between the lines to find a solution. Budding mathematicians analyze a situation to solve a problem. They view a video presentation of the problem, brainstorm important information to gather, and write linear equations to find...

What is meant by the phrase "form follows function?" Allow your budding biologists to discover first-hand through two activities. In the first, groups work together to discover whether a solid cylinder or an empty cylinder can support...

Determine the area of a square with quadratics. Pupils use the interactive to visualize the process of completing the square. Scholars build a square area model to represent a quadratic expression then determine the amount that...

Show budding mathematicians how to model a diminishing bacteria colony two ways—graphically and algebraically. Using the coordinate axis, pupils create a graph to represent the decay of a bacteria colony. They determine the number of...

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon! Statistic concepts take time to develop and understand. A guided activity provides an opportunity for individuals to practice their linear regression techniques in spreadsheet software. The activity...

Keep moving along a curve. Two items in the set of released free-response questions from the 2010 AP® Calculus BC exam involve movement along a graph. One involves particle motion along a polar curve while the other uses a squirrel...

What is my monthly payment? Scholars research to find the perfect car for them to buy. Using the cost of the car, they determine a down payment and the amount of monthly payments using a zero interest loan. Finally, they investigate what...

Find heights by measuring time. Teams collect data to determine the height that a tennis ball is thrown. Classmates measure the height of the initial release of the ball and how long it stays aloft. Using a projectile motion equation,...

Mathematically shoot down an incoming missile. Given information about the Cuban Missile Crises, learners calculate the equation of the trajectory of an imaginary missile launched from Cuba toward Washington, D.C. Scholars determine the...

Students are being evaluated on their math skills. For this algebra lesson, students review basic math skills and are being reviewed for leaning skills that may enhance or inhibit their learning skills. They are scored based on a special...

In this math worksheet, students use protractors to measure each of a set of angles. This is a worksheet generator, the teacher controls the minimum and maximum angles students are presented with as well as whether or not to rotate...

Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson plan, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate...

There has to be a quicker way. Pupils learn the power rule that allows for a shortcut to take the derivative of terms to a power. Using the newly found rule, scholars find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a given x value....

Young scholars discover how abolute value affects linear functions. They complete a worksheet simulating a path for miniature golf hole in one for three figures. They construct a hole in one graph for each hole marking the X and Y...

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Students practice continuous probability distributions. For this probability lesson, students calculate probability, use probability functions, and use rectangular distribution.

In this multivariable function worksheet, students find the limits of a function, identify the domain, and explore continuous functions. This two page worksheet contains explanations, definitions, and examples. There are approximately...

Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson plan, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

High Schoolers engage in a study of quadratic functions and focus upon the finding of equivalence and its connection between functions. They also practice factoring using the FOIL method while manipulating the equation. The lesson also...

Middle schoolers explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers lesson, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Middle schoolers utilize math functions such as addition...
