Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential....

Explore different types of functions using an interactive lesson. Learners enter functions and view the accompanying graphs. They can choose to show key features or adjust the scale of the graph.

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

Who wouldn't want to wear four pairs of sunglasses? Each pair of sunglasses reduces the percent of incoming light by one-half. An interactive tutorial helps young mathematicians build a graph that models this scenario. They...

Explore a geometric sequence model through a simulation. Learners change the starting drop height of a ball and watch how the heights of following bounces change. They consider the ratio of the consecutive bounces as they analyze...

This complete multiple choice and short answer practice end-of-year test for algebra 1 offers a wealth of opportunities for customization. Offer it as a whole, to track progress or prepare the class for the format of the test, or...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

This lesson plan 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...

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities...

Mmmmm! Radioactive "candium!" Nuclear physics or chemistry classes use M&M'S® to demonstrate the process of radioactive decay. Individuals pour out a bag of candies and record the number that fall M-side-up to represent the...

Learners investigate the Golden Ratio in this algebra I or geometry instructional activity. They explore the Golden Ratio as the conduct an experiment in which they collect various measurement from their team members and find the...

Young scholars will explpre models and understand the difference between quadratic, exponential, and linear models in this lesson plan.

This StudyCard stack teaches and tests on the linear function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the linear function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 2.3, 4.1.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn to write and graph linear equations to represent a function and analyze graphs of linear functions. Students examine guided notes, review guided...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This second...

In this task, learners are asked to identify whether changes are linear or exponential. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.

Find a linear function that represents a real-world relationship that is given verbally. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Practice analyzing the end behavior of two functions that model similar real-world relationships, where one function is exponential and the other is polynomial. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Write exponential functions of the basic form f(x)=a * b squared, either when given a table with two input-output pairs, or when given the graph of the function. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Given a description of a real-world relationship, determine whether that relationship is linear or exponential. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Solve word problems about real-world relationships that are given in graphs. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Given the formula of an arithmetic sequence, either in explicit form or in recursive form, find a specific term in the sequence. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...
