Students differentiate between exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use logarithmic properties to solve equations. They identify growth and decay of graphs.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  In this ratios of various objects lesson plan, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Students study linear and non-linear equations. After a teacher demonstration, they use calculators to solve and graph equations. They distinguish the difference between linear and non-linear equations.

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students...

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus instructional activity, students use Riemann sums to find and approximate the area under a curve. They use the derivative and differential equations to solve.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Pupils graph quadratic equations on paper and check their results on the graphing calculator. They predict the direction of the graph and the vertex point. Students use the vertex, axis of symmetry and knowledge of which direction the...

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.
