Alex: Focusing on Graphs

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

Starting with the basics, learners discover the features of a parabola and the ways to accurately graph it. After pupils practice with graphing, the end of the worksheet focuses on application type problems. 

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

Your Algebra learners will appreciate this fabulous, two-page printable. The first page has a list of numbers that lead to the learners writing an equation in a cloud that represents these numbers, and then filling in a table, and...

Starting with a point (focus) and a line below the point (directrix), in this video, Sal tries to find the set of all points (locus) equidistant to the point and the line. He shows, using the distance formula, that indeed, we have an...

What does a square have to do with a quadratic function? Young scholars learn that completing an algebraic square is helpful when graphing the quadratic functions. The video instructor demonstrates rewriting quadratic functions in vertex...

Challenge: Sketch a graph of a quadratic function without making a table of values. High schoolers learn how different parameters affect the graph of a quadratic function. The problem video focuses on dilations of quadratic graphs.

So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...

After solving one system of equations by the methods of graphing, elimination using addition or subtraction, elimination using multiplication, and substitution, students will be given four systems to be solved by one of each of the four...

Examine the unique graphs coined broken-line graphs. Using the phase change of water for data, learners answer questions related to the temperature and energy at different times in the cycle of the phase change. Questions focus on the...
