Pupils engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra activity, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Students differentiate between linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of graphs and graph a function from an equation. They also move the graph around on the coordinate plane.    

Students evaluate the equations that each variable is a function of time. They differentiate each expression with a comparison to the variable of t.

Fifth graders complete a mental arithmetic race worksheet while reviewing the associated concepts. In this mental math lesson, 5th graders complete as much of the associated worksheet as they are able to in one minute. They review and...

Students determine the size of the population at a given time. They calculate the time at which the population will be a given number. They observe how the population grows at the rate that is directly proportional to the number of...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

In this derivatives worksheet, students identify intervals. They differentiate given functions. This one page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph linear equations using the slope intercept form. They classify lines based on their slopes.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve equations and functions by taking the derivative of each equation. They apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to their problems, as they solve for the limit and identify different graphs....

In this symmetric matrices worksheet, learners explore the characteristics of symmetric matrices. This two-page worksheet contains examples and explanations concerning symmetric matrices. Two problems are provided to solve.

Students investigate and interpret functions and graphs. In this algebra lesson, students analyze equations, graphs and word problems to differentiate between quadratic functions and linear equations. They create a poster...

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when adding and...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

Build a function to solve problems rooted in archeology. A comprehensive set of five lessons presents problems requiring individuals to use functions. The initial lesson asks learners to find the possible number of dinosaurs from a...

Take a unique approach to study the graphing of trigonometric functions. Young scholars consider two sine functions and write three functions that will lie between the two given. They use a graphing utility to assist in their explorations.

Five out of four people have trouble with fractions! After comparing simplifying fractions to simplifying rational expressions, pupils use the same principles to multiply and divide rational expressions. 

Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically. 

Trying to find a linear transformation is like finding a needle in a haystack. The second lesson in the series of 32 continues to explore the concept of linearity started in the first lesson. The class explores trigonometric, rational,...

What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard...

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the differentials of an equation. They practice computing the differential and apply them to obtaining the approximations for cube roots. The lesson includes examples for the teacher to...
