Young mathematicians look for patterns in inverse functions as they relate to the original functions. The comprehensive lesson emphasizes vocabulary throughout as well as algebraic and graphical characteristics of the inverse functions.

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

As Mister Rogers would say, "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood," especially when youngsters know all about community helpers and their role in the community. These two units, one designed for ages two to three and the other...

Work out to Algebra II with the 50-question worksheet that practices different types of functions. Multiple choice questions focus on topics such as rational, radical, and logarithmic functions. The resource comes with a printed answer...

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

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...

Function machines are a great way to introduce the topic of functions to your class. Here, you will explore the input and output to functions both using numerical and non-numerical data. Learners are encouraged to play with different...

What is a political party, and what major parties exist in American politics today? How did the party system develop in American history, and how are parties organized? These questions and many other details regarding the political party...

Young scientists explore the animal kingdom from the safety of the classroom with this short research project. After first choosing an animal, children use the Internet to discover where it lives, what it eats, and how it...

There's no need to run around trying to plan a unit for the book Maniac Magee, the work has already been done for you. Through a series of whole class, small group, and independent lessons and activities, students practice...

Master place value with a series of lessons that use math journals, manipulatives, and place value mats. Kids follow the instructions to represent numbers of all sizes with base ten blocks and recording sheets. 

Why waste time teaching multiplication and division facts separately, when this resource allows you to cover both concepts at once. Displaying the fact families for all single-digit factors, these triangle shaped flash cards are a great...

How can you make solving radical equations more engaging? Provide your math class with a hands-on activity that focuses on solving radical equations with flash cards. A warm-up and exit ticket flank direct instruction of the steps...

Warm-up pupils' fraction muscles with a four-question quiz, then delve into a learning game designed to reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions. Based on the "I do, We do, You do" method of teaching, the instructional...

Knowing the basics of drafting allows individuals to create drawings that show all the views and measurements necessary to allow others to visualize the original object. Pupils gain experience by drawing three orthographic views of...

The lesson allows young scientists to use lasers and mirrors to study reflected light. A reading passage and homework question assess learning, while additional material introduces extension activities. 

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

It doesn't get simpler than this. Scholars first learn to simplify radicals by determining the prime factors of the radicand. The lesson progresses to simplifying radicals involving algebraic expressions in the radicand.

Root for your pupils to learn about roots. Young mathematicians first review the meaning of squares and square roots. They then use this knowledge to simplify square roots of monomials with variables.

Don't argue with a triangle that has a 90-degree angle. It's always right. Scholars first use right triangles to help draw dilations of points. They continue the lesson by applying this skill to draw dilations of polygons.

Scholars first investigate relationships in the side lengths of 30°-60°-90° triangles and 45°-45°-90° triangles. This knowledge then helps them solve problems later in the lesson about special right triangles.

There's more than one way to solve quadratic equations. Scholars learn how to solve quadratic equations using alternate methods. They use completing the square by making the linear coefficient even and the leading coefficient a perfect...

High schoolers evaluate functions graphically and algebraically. After completing that step, they write a statement describing the input and output.

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.
