Identify the location and value of absolute and relative maxima and minima of functions Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students review domain, range, and intervals of increasing and decreasing using a draggable point to help them find extrema.  Students find both absolute and relative extrema.

Factoring Polynomials Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This lesson is aimed at students who need more practice and help with Factoring Quadratic Equations. It includes multiple video resources, practice problems, and creative ways to challenge your students to dig a little deeper in their critical thinking. 

Exploring relationships among factors, zeros, and solutions Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This is an introductory activity to the solutions of systems of equations using a task from the Illustrative Mathematics. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Without graphing, construct a system of two linear equations where $(-2,3)$ is a solution to the first equation but not to the second equation, and whe...

In this activity, students must find solutions to quadratic equations in order to create a monster with specific characteristics.

Investigating relations and functionsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Finding domain and range, continuity, and end behavior for a given function  Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Finding extrema and intervals increasing and decreasing for a function Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In this activity, students will be randomly assigned a point and a slope. They will use a movable point to plot a second point and receive visual feedback via animation as well as explicit written feedback about the slope of the line they created. All starting points and target slopes are generated randomly, so students in the class are not likely to get the same problems within a slide. They will all be practicing plotting points given a slope.

This is a guided practice, instructional activity. First students create input-output tables to graph. Then students apply slope-intercept reasoning to graph linear equations. Equations are given in slope-intercept form.

This activity includes a Desmos Activity Builder and Illustrative Mathematics Activity that can be used to introduce systems of equations and help students understand the concept of a solution to a system.

Graphing systems of linear inequalities in two variablesMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Students will explore the relationship between solutions, factors, and graphs of quadratic functions. They will participate in various activities to develop their understanding and practice.

Students will explore the "story" that can be interpreted from graphs. Graphical representations can be created by looking at videos of different situations on Desmos. After noticing that all types of linear slopes (zero, positive, and negative) can be included in a given situation, students create a graphical representation to show a change in heart rate overtime.
