Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

During a walk-a-thon your learners must determine the walking rate of Julianna's progress. Using tables, graphs, and an equation, they must be able to calculate the time it took her to walk one mile and predict her distance based on the...

This activity begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables are...

Pie isn't just for eating! Scholars learn to create pie charts and circle graphs to represent data. Given raw data, learners determine the percent of the whole for each category and then figure out the degree of the circle that percent...

Discover this Valentine's Day-themed worksheet where young mathematicians answer word problems using data tables.

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

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...

Some data just doesn't follow a straight path. Learners use line graphs to represent data that changes over time. They use the graphs to analyze the data and make conclusions.

Perform a switch to find the inverse of a parametric equation. Pupils match four parametric functions with the graph of the their inverses. Using the graphs, learners determine whether particular points are on the original parametric...

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

Graphing doesn't need to be tedious!  When pupils understand key features and transformations, graphing becomes efficient. This instructional activity connects transformations to the vertex form of a quadratic equation. 

Teach collaboration and communication skills in addition to graphing logarithmic functions. Scholars in different groups graph different logarithmic functions by hand using provided coordinate points. These graphs provide the basis for...

High school classes can use manipulatives too! Offer hands-on, interactive lessons that venture away from the typical day in your algebra class. Young mathematicians will be involved in collaborative learning, visual...

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 kind of functions have holes in their graphs? Here, the teacher guides the class on how to use the simplified function of a rational function to aid in the graphing of the original rational function. T-tables are used in order...

Youngsters use a data table to answer questions, in a Valentine's Day-themed worksheet. 

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Nothing better than the original! Help your class understand the relationship of an inverse function to its original function. Learners study the connection between the original function and its inverse through algebraic properties,...

Pupils work several real-world problems that use percents in the 11th portion of a 20-part series. The problems contain percents involved with taxes, commissions, discounts, tips, fees, and interest. Scholars use the equations formed for...

Demonstrate the meaning of an absolute inequality using three different methods. Here, scholars explore absolute value inequalities through graphing, number line distance, and compound inequalities. Pupils complete various activities to...

A six-page evaluation covers material included in algebra, geometry, and algebra II. Applied word problems are mixed in with short answer questions. It also provides questions on mathematical reasoning.

Learners graph and order numbers using a number line. They also solve word problems using fractions and decimals and rewrite equations to solve problems correctly. Several example word problems are given. 

How much land does a parcel hold? How much fertilizer does it take for a field of corn? Pupils answer these questions and more as they apply ratio reasoning and unit analysis. 

A series of math and science activities feature M&M's® as manipulatives to help kids work through equations. The resource includes exercises on finding averages, percent of compositions, moles in chemical reactions, genotypes and...
