Representing Functions of Everyday Situations
Functions help make the world make more sense. Individuals model real-world situations with functions. They match a variety of contexts to different function types to finish a helpful resource.
Mathematics Assessment Project
Representing Quadratic Functions Graphically
Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Federal Income Tax
Introduce your class to the federal tax system through an algebraic lens. This resource asks pupils to examine the variable structure of the tax system based on income. Young accountants use equations, expressions, and inequalities to...
Curated OER
Fractions, Decimals and Percents
Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.

You Can't Go Wrong with a Right Triangle 2
Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.
Curated OER
Solutions of Radical Equations
Students define functions to be graphed using the Y= key and how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They complete a lab sheet for each of the three problems attached, completing the assignment outside of class.
