Root for young mathematicians learning about functions. A set of two problems assesses understanding of polynomial functions and their roots. Scholars select values for a, b, and c, and then create two functions that meet given...

Does the accuracy of the first guess make a difference down the line? Learners investigate the effects of the iterative process of finding roots, using Newton's Method. By moving the initial guess of a root on a graph, pupils observe the...

Use an iterative process to find an approximation of a square root. Pupils use the interactive to find an approximation to find the positive root of a quadratic function with Newton's method. With the graphs, learners position the...

Add a word puzzle to your underground vegetable lesson plan. Learners unscramble vegetable names and discover a hidden message using corresponding numbers and letters.    

Using Wolframalpha graphing capabilites, algebra learners graph polynomials with degrees of three and larger. They identify the roots and graph each polynomial, predict zeros and shapes of graphs, and validate their understanding through...

Students study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions.  In this botany lesson students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.

Learners use a thesaurus on the internet to explore the meanings of Greek and Latin roots. They find definitions of given words, draw a concept map for root words, and write four synonyms for each word. Students discover how Latin and...

In this multiplying large numbers worksheet, students read about a shortcut to use when numbers have zeros and are large. They learn to remove the zeros and multiply the non-zero numbers and then add the total number of zeros. They...

In this precalculus worksheet, students use their graphing calculator to graph functions. They explore and explain the graph of each function. Students manipulate the calculator to find answers to six decimal places.

All about plants has information on plant parts--seeds, flowers, fruits, roots, and spores--and plant processes--seed dispersal, germination, pollination, and photosynthesis. You can also take a tour of this Los Angeles-based...

Test your skills at exponents, root and logarithms. Includes advanced challenges. There are nine levels and the test may be taken with or without a timer.

Understand how plants and their roots help slow the erosion process.

This online tutorial explains how the laws of rational exponents are used to simplify expressions. The examples show exactly how the process is done. Click on the "Topic Index" to find related lessons, practice activities, and teacher...

This site provides a concise biography of Haley, the video [12:28] "Alex Haley Interview Roots (Merv Griffin Show 1977)" and links to six of his books.

In a format like TV's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," students answer math questions about radicals to earn points and help their group win the game. Teachers need to create their own question bank, which allows this game to be used for...

How do trees drink, how do trees breath, what is the structure of a tree? Answer these questions and more.

During this mini-unit, students will learn common Greek and Latin roots. Several supplementary resources are provided for students' study beyond the lessons.
