Learners construct and use inverse functions to model a real-world context. They use the inverse function to interpolate a data point.

In this interpolation worksheet, students use a linear interpolating polynomial and then describe the extrapolated value of the function. This four-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this polynomial worksheet, students find interpolating functions that can be expressed as a linear combination of basis functions. This four-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

For this polynomial worksheet, students identify the interpolated and extrapolated value of given equations. This four-page worksheet contains approximately ten problems. Explanations and examples are provided.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Use an inverse linear function to interpolate a point. Presented with the number of households over a period of year, pupils find a linear function that will be a model. Class members determine the inverse of the linear function and use...

Learners collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of the...

In this polynomial activity, students explore functions, determine the least square error, and explore quadratic spline interpolation. This two-page activity contains approximately six problems.

Students calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered pairs or...

You are what you eat, or so they say! After surveying family and friends on a week of eating habits, learners analyze the data for patterns. They compare different variables such as fats and cost, fats and calories, or fats and LDLs. 

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

More than just data, scatter plots are full of information that can be used to answer a variety of questions. This lesson uses a plot with information about bird egg sizes to answer questions about the relationship between length and...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Learners discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

In this root-finding instructional activity, students rank numbers in asymptotic order. They identify and discuss the roots of the original function. This four-page instructional activity contains approximately 10 problems.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...
