Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...

Students use Excel to solve quadratic equations by trial and improvement. They enter formulas and try different solutions to improve their solutions more quickly. Afterwards, they report the solutions to different levels of accuracy.

In this topic we are going to explore how pixels are painted by solving systems of linear equations. It includes two lessons: Lesson 1: Rendering 101 (Grades 5+) and Lesson 2: Mathematics of Rendering (Grades 9+).
