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...

Elementary schoolers use a function machine in order to help them look at the relationship between input and output, and to look at the rule for the change. The machine is actually a cardboard box, and it serves quite well for the...

Students use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

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...

In this algebra worksheet, pupils read about the concept of functions and how to apply them. Then they fill in the graphic organizer with the right type of functions.

In this algebra worksheet, learners use the given values for the functions to create a pattern of solving an equation that is extended into a word problem.

Sixth graders complete a function table and determine a rule for the use of one. They graph different functons from the tables. The analogy of a machine is used as an example for teaching students about functions.

Students solve composition of functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students find the sum, difference and product of functions. They find the inverse of a function.

Students identify function using tables of data. In this algebra lesson, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

Solve inverse functions through graphing and algebra. High schoolers will graph inverse functions and use the correct notation to write the equation. They observe a graph and write an equation for the function. In the end, they will be...

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Sixth graders explore patterns and sequencing. As a class, they name numbers that fit in a pattern. Students use pattern blocks to construct and identify patterns. They use a calculator to create input and output functions.

Students are introduced to computer rules, hardware, mouse skills, and keyboarding. In this computer basics lesson, students apply their computer skills to paint using the Kid Deluxe 4. Students also classify hardware as input...

Young scholars examine how the brain sends and receives messages by assessing PET scans. They diagram areas of the brain that evaluate various situations. They discover that individuality is due to different responsesnin the brain.

Students explore the food pyramid. In this dietary health lesson plan, students examine the food pyramid on the MyPyramid.gov website and discuss healthy eating strategies. There are various links to websites in this lesson plan.

Students design and film commercials using digital video cameras and the computer program iMovie in this exciting lesson plan provided by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology.

Students explore computer science by participating in mini activities. In this graphic design instructional activity, identify the different components on a personal computer and define their purpose. Students utilize Microsoft Paint to...

Learners practice the economic concepts of scarcity and opportunity cost. They imagine creating their own businesses and brainstorm what they need to know in order to determine when the business is profitable.

Students create their own plants and write about them using digital cameras, AppleWorks, and the educational program Kid Pix. Emphasis is placed on the creative process and reflective writing.

Pupils create a spreadsheet to chart favorite colors, then collect data, create appropriate charts, and use percentages to describe quantities.

Students create short animated films using clay figures, digital video cameras, and the computer program iMovie. In this lesson, students work cooperatively in small groups to maximize success.

Students draw ten frames for a cartoon and then use iMovie to create an animated movie in this technology-based art instructional activity. Transitions and audio tracks can be added to enhance final products.

In this task, students investigate whether exponential functions will always be determined by two points. It complements the task "Do two points always determine a linear function?" Aligns with F-LE.A.2.
