Learners explore quadratic equations in this Algebra II instructional activity. They investigate families of quadratic functions by graphing the parent function and family members on the same graph. Additionally, they write the equation...

This fourth of twelve units in a series continues the investigation of functions through equations and inequalities. However, the modular nature of the lessons in the section make this an excellent resource for any curriculum...

Students complete rolling stocks experiment, and collect and enter data on the computer. They enter data on graphing calculators, complete scatter plot by hand with line of best fit, and discuss different graphing methods.

Take an indirect view of proportionality. Using a similar approach of direct variation, the resource shows how to solve inverse proportions. The video steps through finding the constant of proportionality to write the formula for the...

Do women with college degrees get married later? Using a provided scatter plot of the percentage of women who earn bachelor's degrees and the median age at which women first get married over time, pupils conduct a linear regression...

Sometimes, there is a better way. Scholars develop Pascal's triangle as a method to arrive at the coefficients of binomial expansions as an easier method to expand binomials. The learners connect the formula for binomial coefficients to...

Humans tend to huddle together when cold and move around more when warm, but do gas particles follow the same pattern? Scholars use a temperature probe, a pressure sensor, and air to study the relationship between temperature and gas...

Around and around we go ... again, and again, and again, and again! That's the nature of a periodic function. Young scholars learn how to model a periodic pattern with trigonometric functions. The nine-lesson unit explores the connection...

Connect end behavior to previous learning. Pupils connect finding the end behavior of rational functions to finding end behavior of polynomial functions. The 13th segment in a 23-part unit starts with finding the end behavior or power...

Learners identify graphical relationships between a function and its inverse using a graphing calculator. They begin by declaring the function f(x) with formula definition sin(x), then plot this function. To finishing the lab, they check...

Compile data for a child's IEP with a helpful summary worksheet. With formulas for calculating the assessment information you need, it's a great addition to checking on your learners' progress.

Explore how sound travels as waves with a straightforward lesson that explains the basics of waves in relation to sound. The presentation considers sound waves in both open and closed pipes and shows how to calculate wavelength and...

Learners use their graphing calculators to view graphs of equations. They tell if each equations is or is not a function and are shown pre-set graphs on their graphing calculators. They use the Quick Poll feature to indicate if the graph...

Students find the slope using a slope formula. In this algebra worksheet, students use a pair of coordinate to identify the slope and y intercept. There are 7 questions.

In this investigating parabolas worksheet, 9th graders solve and graph 7 different problems that include graphing various equations that represent parabolas. First, they sketch their graphs to each problem. Then, students determine what...

Have your class find the domain and range for each function. Students graph equations using the TI. They find all the x and y values as they relate to the domain and range.

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

Students solve quadratic functions. In this solving quadratic functions instructional activity, students determine the height of an object at a given time. Students determine the time at which an object hits the ground. Students answer...

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Secondary learners investigate exponential functions in a real-world scenario. They collect data on the temperature of a cooling baked potato, enter the data into lists, and graph the data using a scatter plot before finding an...

Scholars investigate transforming parabolas.  In this transforming parabolas lesson, they take the parent graph y=x^2 and transform it by shifting left, right, up, and down and shrinking and stretching. The class finds maximums,...

Who knew quilting would be so mathematical? Introduce linear equations and graphing while working with the lines of pre-designed quilts. Use the parts of the design to calculate the slope of the linear segments. The project...

Students study the government's involvement in the U.S. A's food production and make connections relating to farm programs. In this historical agriculture lesson, students read content and research significant information....
