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...

Determine which way to go. Pupils learn how the leading term determines the end behavior of a polynomial function. They see how to use the end behavior of a polynomial to identify the graph of the function before practicing their skills...

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive lesson has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

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...

There are an infinite number of reasons to use the resource. Scholars drag vertical and horizontal lines to the graph of a rational function to identify all asymptotes. They investigate the connection between asymptotes and limits to...

Get out your TI-nspire graphing calculator and explore polynomials. Learners determine where a given polynomial are increasing or decreasing, find maximums, minimums, and zeros of polynomials, and discuss end behavior of polynomials....

Get a little batty with life science! This fun simulation game replicates how bats use echolocation to hunt moths in their native Hawaiian habitat. After creating blind folds and discussing some basic principles of echolocation, students...

Students analyze smoking behavior based on peer pressure.  In this health lesson, students read and complete worksheets on the internet concerning the behaviors associated with smoking.  They summarize what they have learned by...

Hyperbolas—practice thinking outside of the box. Pupils alter the end behavior box to create various graphs of hyperbolas. They determine formulas to find the distance from the origin to the foci. Using that information, scholars...

Discover different patterns by making connections between a rational function and its graph. An engaging lesson asks scholars to explore the behavior of different rational functions. Groups discover a connection between the function...

Put everything together in a picture. Scholars take what they learned in the previous three lessons in the 15th segment of a 23-part unit to graph rational functions. They find the end behavior, the horizontal and vertical asymptotes if...

Learning about end behavior means it's close to the end of the unit. The 16th of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity has scholars watch a video to learn how limits at infinity can be used to determine horizontal asymptotes and...

Hang out at the beach and listen to some relaxing tunes, all while developing basic math skills. An endless source of fun and learning for young children!

Test the limits of one's knowledge on continuity. The last of 18 installments in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity is an end-of-unit review learning exercise. Individuals identify and classify discontinuities, investigate continuity at a...

How does nature select some adaptations over others? Scholars experiment picking up seeds with two different types of tools simulating beaks. After practicing, they experience a drought where one type of seed suddenly isn't available....

Students work as a team to build a freestanding bridge from newspapers and masking tape and analyze the effectiveness of their group. For this teamwork lesson, students view and summarize a video on Service Learning Projects. Students...

Students observe the physical characteristics of birds and identify birds found in their village. They describe characteristics, behaviors and habitats of local birds in this series of lessons.

Kindergartners identify geometric shapes by planting a fall garden. They start their seeds in containers that have different shapes, and keep track of their plants based on those shapes. This brilliantly designed and incredibly thorough...

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

Students explore recent research linking economic status with student behavior. They design their own studies that investigate how different variables are related to student performance in particular subject areas.

Learn how to analyze probability distributions. The sixth installment of a 21-part module teaches pupils to use probability distributions to determine the long-run behavior of a discrete random variable. They create graphs of probability...

Examine trends in student-to-teacher ratios over time. Building from the first task in the two-part series, classes now explore the pattern of student-to-teacher ratios using a non-linear function. After trying to connect the pattern to...

As part of an investigation of transformations of exponential functions, class members use Newton's Law of Cooling as an exponential model to determine temperature based on varying aspects. The resource makes comparisons between...

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...
