The calculator is used to obtain values for use in graphing curves. Three worksheets are included. (MP)

Two graphing activities are supplied for providing practice in plotting points in the rectangular coordinate system. (JT)

Cooperative groups were given transparencies of eight regular inscribed polygons and overlays of corresponding circumscribed polygons and were asked to find the perimeters and ratios of perimeter to diameter. Transparencies give students a graphic illustration of limits. Includes reproducible worksheet. (NI)

This booklet contains a representative sample of the efforts of colleagues at 11 institutions to use graphing calculators to enhance the teaching of calculus and precalculus. The first section contains examples of graphs for teachers to choose from for presentations, including: simple examples to illustrate some standard ideas in precalculus,…

Illustrates exploration of composition of functions, translations, and inverse functions on a graphing calculator. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Provides an activity as an example of how matrices can be introduced from finite graphs and how finite graphs can be analyzed by examining their matrix representations. Presents the materials, objectives, prerequisites, directions, extension activities, answers, and worksheets. (YP)

Presents an alternate approach to teaching quadratics by fully integrating the study of quadratic equations and quadratic functions using graphs. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Presents a teacher's guide and reproducible student worksheets to develop the procedure for finding the inverse of a function. (MKR)

Presents activities designed to help students bridge the gap between the graphical representation of a function and a verbal description. Includes a number of nonstandard graphs and reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

This article describes a series of activities and worksheets to provide students with experience in graphing number pairs. Students at different lev els can use the activities to relate basic arithmetical operations to graphs. (Worksheets are included.) (SD)

Students are given the opportunity to deal with many kinds of data as they make graphs and interpret the results of polls. Worksheets are provided on filling in a graph grid and making bar and circle graphs as well as interpreting each. (MNS)

This computer software program helps to make classroom worksheets, take home assignments, and school mathematics tests easy to design and manufacture. The accompanying printed teaching guide provides technical information for setting up and using the program, along with sample worksheets and instructions on how to create them using the software.…

This teacher's guide provides objectives, procedures, and list of materials needed for activities which center around the use of a scatter plot to examine relationships shown by bivariate data. The activities are suitable for grades 7 to 12. Four student worksheets are included. (JN)

The focus is on graphing activities, in which students locate points on a coordinate system and name points by an ordered pair of numbers. Worksheet masters designed for duplication for classroom use are included. Practice is provided with coordinate grids, and student exploration is promoted within the materials. (MP)

The activities presented here focus on symmetry. The materials aim to provide experience in: (1) observing grid-drawn pictures and coloring in appropriate squares; (2) making symmetric designs about two lines of symmetry; (3) using a ruler and protractor; and (4) using a ruler, protractor, and compass. Worksheet masters are provided. (MP)
