Classes explore different scenarios using manipulatives to learn about the difference between independent and dependent probability. Learners experiment with colored chips to model the two types of probabilities. To test their...

Analyze functions by decomposing complex functions and composing simple functions. Through a detailed lesson plan, pupils learn the vocabulary and notation related to the composition of functions. Practice includes both evaluating and...

Scholars determine how two quantities vary with respect to each other. They complete a fill-in-the-blank activity by stating whether the entities vary directly, inversely, or jointly, create equations that match different variations, and...

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

Everything you need for a mini-unit on bar graphs is included in this lesson plan! It outlines three lessons and includes worksheets. Learners taste pretzels, shoot baskets (switching off hands), and grab candy, graphing results...

In this differential worksheet, students read a word problem and write a differential equation and solve it. They draw the slope field for given problems. This two-page worksheet contains 9 multi-step problems.

In this related rates problem worksheet, students use the chain rule and implicit differentiation to solve related rate problems, such an writing an expression relating to the ripple of a circle. This three-page worksheet contains...

Learn to find the slope through a single point. The interactive provides a visualization of how to find the slope of a tangent line. With the aid of the visualization, pupils see the definition of the derivative in action. Class members...

Cakes offer a yummy way to learn about math. Scholars use manipulatives to discover the formulas for the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. They use their formulas to calculate the amount of cake mix and frosting necessary...

Dividing large numbers can be a long and frustrating process for young mathematicians, but after completing these skills practice worksheets they'll be masters of long division.

Teach class members to work with rational expressions using their knowledge of fractions. The lesson plan starts with a warm-up of rational expressions at four different levels of complexity. The different levels continue throughout...

A trip around the world sounds nice, but for now we'll just have to make do with Google Earth. Pupils use pictures of landmarks to apply geometry concepts. They determine whether each building has bilateral or rotational symmetry, search...

Hit a home run with your lessons. A two-part activity has learners explore quadratic equations that model the path of a baseball. They see how changing the initial speed of the ball affects its maximum height, maximum horizontal...

Here's a super survey on supermarket products. An interactive lesson has classmates design and conduct surveys on a product of interest. They analyze the data, choose a data display method, and present their findings to the class.

In this differentiation in space math worksheet, students use 6 different equations to solve 6 problems that involve differentiation related to astrophysics.

Pupils explore the concept of derivatives. They use implicit differentiation to determine points on a graph where a tangent line is horizontal, vertical, or oblique. Finally, learners find the derivative of a polynomial by...

How will the topics be assessed? Using the six released items from the Calculus AB test, pupils see how the exam assesses content from the course. With the additional materials covering test taker's responses and scoring keys, teachers...

Develop more than just a topical approach to the exam. The six free-response questions from 2006 reveal how the AP exam assesses topics. By using the questions, pupils practice topics such as velocity, sketch slope fields, solving...
