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

Practice solving linear systems of three equations with three unknowns using the elimination method and substitution method. This handout includes graphics of different combinations of intersecting planes to help illustrate the different...

Students explain and explain the concept of a grid system. They define absolute and relative location and develop an imaginary city on graph paper using a grid system.

Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.

Students locate and identify the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes fo hyperbolas. They graph equations involving asymptotes and hyperbolas. Finally, students determine the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis.

Students write and solve equations for the cost of firewood by the cord, then use this information to develop tables of values and graph their equations.

Learners write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

Learners practice coordinates and measurements, develop 2D, 3D topological map, construct grid with string on real surface, establish "level" fixed point for measurements, take and record data points of elevation, and enter data on...

Students conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy from the...

How do you build a polygon from an inequality? An engaging lesson challenges pupils to do just that. Building from the previous lesson in this series, learners write systems of inequalities to model rectangles, triangles, and even...

A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...

Develop a model for a hanging chain. Pupils find a mathematical model for a hanging chain and then they compare their models to the precise function that models the curve. Scholars come up with a strategy to determine how close...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Determine the slope when the unit rate is difficult to see. The 17th part of a 33-part series presents a situation that calls for a method to calculate the slope for any two points. It provides examples when the slope is hard to...

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that covers the concepts related to the graphing of hyperbolas looking at topics like foci, center, vertices, and asymptotes. They find multiple different points in the coordinate plain and then plot the...

Students, in groups, use longitude and latitude to locate various places on a map.

In this function worksheet, students compute the directional derivative of a function and identify the xy-coordinates of the maximum and local minimum. This two page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders graph functions on a coordinate plane. Students determine values for which the function is undefined and explore reciprocal functions. The one page worksheet contains thirty-two problems....

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

In this sketching polar equations worksheet, students solve 5 short answer and graphing problems. Kids describe a curve given the equation of the curve in polar form. Students sketch a graph of the equation.

In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of inequality using the graphing method. There are 5 questions with lots of examples and an answer key.

Students find the slopes of linear functions. In this graphing lesson, students analyze linear equations and calculate the slope of the line. They graph a line given the slope and y-intercept.
