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

Two posters are presented that emphasize graphing in a Halloween setting. Both provide practice in reading and interpreting bar graphs. (MNS)

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

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 activity exposes beginning algebra students to the concepts of slope and intercept. Four worksheets pertain to the "electrician problem." (MNS)

Stressed is a conceptual approach to absolute value, based on the visualization of the graphs of absolute-value equations. An important by-product is predicting a graph on the basis of certain constraints. Four worksheets plus teacher comments are included. (MNS)

On these worksheets, students are to graph pairs of linear equations and linear combinations of these pairs, using the results to discover an algebraic technique for solving a system of epuations. They then complete, run, and modify a computer program for solving a system of linear equations. (MNS)

Topics from graph theory are introduced at an informal level and thereby made accessible to the majority of secondary school students. Three worksheets are included. (MNS)

Presents an activity in which students draw a picture, analyze each line and curve, and write the symbolic equations represented by the graph. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Provides activities that introduce the sine and cosine functions in a hands-on manner. Includes ideas for assessment. Contains reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Describes a classroom activity designed to give students hands-on experience using technology and geometric visualization, as well as to explore fractal geometry in a cooperative classroom environment. Natural phenomena is the context of these activities. Enriches understanding of Euclidean geometry and infinite sequences. Lists materials,…

Presents activities in which students study exponential growth and decay by collecting data, constructing graphs, and discovering algebraic formulas. (MKR)

Describes the work of a meteorologist, the history of meteorology, and links to mathematics. Contains reproducible student activity worksheets on weather data. (MKR)

Presents activities that connect mathematics to real-world situations using heating bills and costs. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

This booklet offers teacher instructions and student worksheets on number activities for gifted primary grade students. Three sections are included: (1) "moving numbers" which asks students to supply the missing member or members of addition and subtraction equations; (2) "number trails," which involve the completion of number…
