Students solve a system of equations based on two situations. Using the Desmos task, students do not need to have prior knowledge of solving a system, but need to know how to write an equation based on a graph. Students determine the cost of swimming using two different situations by interpreting a graph.

Students work independently, or in small groups, to simplify or evaluate sets of four expressions, then calculate the sum of their answers.  This activity is self-checking, using a Google Form.

In this self-checking activity, students will match 18 cards, identifying the slope, y-intercept, and slope-intercept form of each equation to match each of the six tables.  

Students use average temperature data from CityRating.com to find and use a curve of best fit for the average temperature in Richmond, Virginia.

Investing the components of the equation of a lineMathematics 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.

Exploring Transformational Graphing 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.

After completing this activity students will understand the parent functions and how transforming functions impacts the equation.
Students will get practice writing equations for transformed functions. Students will work through a softchalk activity provided through OER Commons and then collaborate on a Desmos activity.

Students tell the story of a jellyfish moving through the water using transformations of quadratic functions in standard form.Students sketch graphs of the transformations.Students put all four transformations on one graph to check that their story and transformations work as desired.  Students may change any transformations prior to submission.

Representing verbal quantitative situations algebraically and evaluating and simplifying algebraic expressions.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.

Students translate verbal expressions to algebraic expressions.  Included are both paper and online versions.

Students are given either a problem, spaces for possible numbers, a formula, an answer, or a combination of some of those items and must fill in the missing spaces. Adapted from a Mathematics Enhanced Scope and Sequence lesson for Algebra II from the Virginia Department of Education.

Students will use racing information (speed or speed and head start) to predict the winner of a race.  Then students create a table and a graph to determine which racer wins.

In Zombie Attack, students will organize, display and analyze data to solve practical problems using models of exponential functions. Learners will use knowledge of transformations to write an equation, given the table and graph of an exponential function. In doing so, students will form connections between multiple representations of exponential functions for analysis, interpretation, and prediction.
