Students differentiate between a relation and a function. In this algebra lesson, students identify a pair of coordinates as being a relation or a function. They analyze graphs for function as they solve word problems.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students use graphing to solve systems of linear inequalities.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of five multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers are...

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given points on a coordinate plane, and they must figure out what the x and y values are. There are 6 graphing question.

Students examine the effects of various management strategies on the size of wildlife populations. Each student simulates the management of an animal population in a card game, graphs the results of the wildlife game, and participate in...

In this algebra worksheet, students investigate the coordinate plane through graphing, plotting and identifying the different quadrants. They identify vertical and horizontal lines in the coordinate plane. There are 10 questions with an...

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

In this system of linear inequalities worksheet, students solve 5 problems with the graphing method and are given 2 examples with multiple steps to follow.

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Not all resources are created equal — and your class benefits! Scholars learn how to solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations. They complete an activity matching inequalities to their solutions.

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, young scholars identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and...

Young scholars determine how interests is calculated and a how it accrues. They examine charts and graphs that show the intricacies of interest. They determine how to increase their own saving by using interest while working with a...

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Students answer the following question: "Using the lines of latitude and longitude, what is the distance (in degrees) if you were to travel from NASA Dryden to NASA Ames?" They use the distance formula to find the distance (measured in...

How are bubbles made? A simple experiment involving the construction of bubbles is available in this lab activity. A fun activity prompts pairs of learners to use dish soap in order to make bubbles. They keep track of the size of the...

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Getting the best pick of the apples depends on where to pick. The short assessment presents a situation in which class members must analyze a real-world situation to determine the cost of picking apples. The pricing structures resemble...

It is unknown if cloud cover increases in response to carbon dioxide levels changing, helping climate change slow down, or if cloud cover decreases, allowing Earth to warm faster. Part four in the series of five lessons has classes...

Which rate is greater and by how much? Pupils continue to compare rates to solve problems in the 20th portion of a 29-part series. Rates are presented in a variety of representations either using the same representation or different...

Three chapters worth of integer, fraction, and decimal problems to give you every type of question your learners need to be a successful mathematician. Thankfully the work has been done for you and this is a huge resource full...

Varve: a deposit of cyclical sediments that help scientists determine historical climates. Individuals analyze the topography of a region and then study varve datasets from the same area. Using this information, they determine the...

Two for one—create an invertible and non-invertible function from the same data. The task presents a function table with missing outputs for the class to use to create two functions. One of the functions should have an inverse while the...
