Does the accuracy of the first guess make a difference down the line? Learners investigate the effects of the iterative process of finding roots, using Newton's Method. By moving the initial guess of a root on a graph, pupils observe the...

Take a great look at integration! Young scholars use an interactive to learn how to integrate a function. Learners input a function and view the integral as well as see a graphical representation.

In 2016, one in every four fatal car crashes listed speeding as a contributing factor. Pupils view videos of a car trying to come to a quick stop from four different rates of speed. They use context clues to measure and determine the...

Party planners need algebra too! Here, pupils decide the perfect size of a cake based on available ingredients. They use the concepts of area and perimeter to make their conclusions.

The system of checks and balances is integral to the functionality of the United States government. Learn more about the ways the three branches of the government work together—and about the limitations of their power—with an informative...

In this limitations of formulas activity, students answer four essay questions about functions. Two questions refer to the limitations of formulas. They graph one function and explain how it specifies the rule of the function.

Students engage in a lesson that is about computing the limits of trigonometric functions. They practice computing the functions of sin, cos, and sin to find the missing values related to triangles. Students also calculate the limits of...

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

If you have ever injured your shoulder, you know it takes a while to improve your arm's range of motion. In this real-world example, young mathematicians gain insight into the world of physical therapy while they analyze a case study...

In this function instructional activity, learners compute the limits of given functions, they use differentials to estimate quantities, they compute the change in functional value and determine an equation for a line tangent to a graph. ...

Here is a resource that demonstrates growth and the initial state of an equation. In this case, your class will be looking at baseball collections. How many baseball cards did the collector start out with, and how many were added or...

In this math worksheet, students are given 7 problems in which they write expressions for trig functions, compute limits and graph functions.

Extend the concept of exponents to irrational numbers. In the fifth installment of a 35-part module, individuals use calculators and rational exponents to estimate the values of 2^(sqrt(2)) and 2^(pi). The final goal is to show that the...

Your algebra learners work to address the order of operations applied to an expression's input variable and the limitations that may be created because of it. This simple task of a few very well-chosen exercises is elegant in it's way of...

Fold, fold, and fold some more. In the first installment of a 35-part module, young mathematicians fold a piece of paper in half until it can not be folded any more. They use the results of this activity to develop functions for the area...

In this partial derivatives worksheet, students complete one word problem by finding the (x,y) coordinates of a point when it moves parallel to one axis. When given a function, they find six partial derivatives. Students solve four...

In this domain and range worksheet, students examine functions and identify the range of a function.  They find the maximum and minimum value of a function.  This two-page worksheet contains 7 multiple-choice problems. ...
