Apply systems of inequalities to a real-world problem. Here, scholars learn to graph solutions to systems of linear inequalities. To finish the lesson, they solve a problem involving burgers and cheeseburgers using a system of inequalities.

Get close to your favorite line. Scholars use end behavior to help find horizontal asymptotes. With the understanding of domains of rational functions, learners find vertical asymptotes and then use graphing calculators to verify the...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson plan makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process...

If a linear function and a quadratic function enter a boxing match, which one would win? Learners first review how to find key features of linear and quadratic functions. Next, they compare key features of pairs of functions.

Derivatives are useful for many things — they can even keep track of particle motion. An informative lesson plan provides an introduction to the idea of the second derivative in particle motion. Class members determine the...

Help the class find a better way. Pupils recall finding nth roots or a complex number in polar form from a previous module to find the square root of a complex number. Using the second installment in a series of 23, scholars discover it...

Visualize the nth roots of unity. Pupils calculate the nth roots of unity and find all n roots. Learners plot the solutions in the complex plane and observe that they are the vertices of a regular n-gon inscribed in the unit circle....

Fourth graders practice ordering fractions using models and drawings.  For this math model lesson, 4th graders utilize colored blocks and drawings to show an equal representation of given fractions.  Students compare and...

Students play games as they review math concepts on grids. In this algebra lesson, students review quadrants and other parts of a coordinate system as they play a game. They must finish a word problem by making their final answer forty.

Young scholars compete in an imaginary game show, using an imaginary calculator that only has a few select keys: 2, 6, and the addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication keys. Using only these keys, students are prompted to come...

Have your class discuss the letter /l/ sound. Using a variety of entertaining books, preschoolers identify the sound of this letter. This is a terrific way to review the letter L.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to develop...

Let the resource stretch the minds of your young scientists with a lesson about tensile strength and stiffness of materials. Groups consider how easily materials stretch and relate this property to engineering design.

Interested in a "how and why" story to read with young learners? For this storytelling lesson, readers will discuss sea creatures, focusing on practicing new terminology through retelling the story. This resource provides a list of...

Students find triangular angles using the angle theorem. In this geometry lesson plan, students describe labeled triangles, use the pythagorean theorem, and rewrite information about triangles in standard form.
