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...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part lesson, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure the...

Comparing the movement of graphs geometrically when small changes are made to the parent function motivates this collaborative discussion on the transformations of functions to their various forms. Vertical and horizontal shifts due to...

Many organizations put on barbecues in order to make money. In a real-world math problem, the money allotted to purchase steak and chicken at this barbecue is only one hundred dollars. It is up to your potential chefs to figure out how...

Your algebra 2 learners show what they can do in this assessment activity on shifting, reflecting, and stretching graphs. Given the graphs of various functions, they write the represented equation.

Your algebra learners analyze and interpret the general form and the graph of two functions. The increase of the function due to the multiplicative factor is emphasized.

Eighth graders examine the usefulness of a line of best fit by collecting and graphing data, using a graphing calculator to determine the line of best fit, and making a variety of predictions. They watch a video, then design a...

Liken a cell and its organelles to a tiny person and its organs. After gathering information on cell structures and their functions, small groups collaborate to come up with an analogy of their own. They produce a collage describing the...

Students will display the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle and discuss in their groups what patterns they see in the rows of numbers. They will give responses and discuss that these numbers form what is called Pascal's Triangle.

Learners explore data that be modeled by a logistic function. They have the opportunity to study real-life data and create a mathematical function to model the data and make a prediction.

Learners rewrite a general quadratic function by completing the square to see a new form of the function that more easily identifies the x-coordinate of the vertex and the two roots of the function.

Your learners will explore linear functions by analyzing a graph of the linear equations.Then learners analyze through calculating f(x+P) and g(x+p)

Middle schoolers use the popular game of Jeopardy to explore different mathematical concepts. They are highly engaged with the use of technology for this lesson. They function using higher-order thinking skills in order to create their...

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.

Students are introduced to the characteristics of trigonometric functions. In groups, they analyze graphs of sine and cosine to determine the lengths of a triangle. They compare and contrast the graphical and numerical characteristics...

Students are introduced to the basic ideas needed for understanding linear functions.

In this math worksheet, students investigate the concepts of order of operations, domains, and inverse functions while using a calculator.

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 investigate patterns of inverse functions. In this algebra lesson, students represent functions with the calculator and on paper. They analyze their data and draw conclusions.

Fourth graders solve division problems by practicing on function machine.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Young scholars solve exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

Fourth graders investigate the terms "factor" and "product." In this mathematics lesson, 4th graders practice solving problems to find the products and factors present in different algebraic expressions.

Young scholars analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts...
