Learning about tangents doesn't have to be a slippery slope. Pupils drag a point around a unit circle to see how angle affects the slope of a line. They individually answer a set of challenge questions to come to the conclusion that...

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra lesson. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this lesson.

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Young scholars explore linear functions in a crime solving context. They collect and analyze data using linear equations, then interpret the slope and intercepts from a linear model.

Learners investigate the graph of the absolute value function and the relationship between the parameters of the equation and the graph of the function.

In this quadratic formula worksheet, students solve and complete 22 different types of problems. First, they solve each equation by completing the square and applying the quadratic formula. Then, students graph each function provided and...

Learners perform investigation of quadratic functions while taking part in the solving of various types of problems. They explore the changes in the coefficients on the quadratic function to observe the patterns. The activity includes...

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Learners complete an activity, included, of the information on asymptotes and intercepts. They also solve and complete eight questions on graphing rational functions, file included. Finally, pupils summarize vertical asymptotes,...

High schoolers read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Learners engage in a instructional activity about finding the values of different graphs written in the vertex form. They rewrite each quadratic equation in vertex form while graphing the equation with the visual display of a parabola...

Students investigate equations that are in the standard form of a quadratic equation represented as Y=ax2+bx+c. They factor the equations into linear factors to determine the x intercepts. The graph is also used to determine the x...

High Schoolers engage in a study of quadratic functions and focus upon the finding of equivalence and its connection between functions. They also practice factoring using the FOIL method while manipulating the equation. The lesson also...

Pupils review horizontal and vertical shifts of a parabola and how they effect a specific quadratic formula. They play a basketball review game in which they try to find the right quadratic equation for a given problem in order to earn...
