Ellipse
Students explore the concept of ellipses. In this ellipses lesson, they construct ellipses on their paper and follow directions on a worksheet that allow them to investigate an ellipse in more depth by looking at the major axis, foci, etc.
Curated OER
Arithmetic Complex Numbers
Students convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.
Curated OER
Surfing the Waves
Students use online resources, including animations,to define the slope of a curve and how to calculate the slope. They solve 8 problems online, using the definition of the derivative of a function at a point to calculate slope of the...

Estimating Pi as a Length
In this pi learning exercise, students evaluate the curve of a quarter of a circle. They analyze the length of the curve, and explain that if the area under the curve is equal to pi, the length of the curve above is also equal to pi....
