Introduction to Polynomials Functions Lab (PBL PrBL Activity)
This lab is meant to launch your Polynomials unit in an Algebra 2 class or an Honors Algebra 1 class. This is a perfect addition to any PrBL/PBL run class. Before teaching students anything, let them explore an application for a polynomial (cubic) function and derive a function themselves. The pre-lab directs students to build an open-face-box out of a single piece of paper with the largest volume possible in any way they choose (do not give them any further directions!). At the end of the pre-l

Polynomial Functions Exploration (PrBL PBL Activity)
This lab is designed to 1) introduce the relationship between a function rule, written in intercept form, and the zeros on a graph for all polynomial functions & introduce the concept of end behavior 2) allow students an opportunity to review multiplying polynomials and plotting coordinates precisely by hand. My students were lacking a strong Algebra 2 foundation so I designed this lab for them to raise them up to Pre-Calculus concepts (polynomial behaviors based on the way the function rule

Modeling Seasonal Daylight Length with Trig Functions
In this activity, students analyze data sets modeling hours of sunlight in three cities over the course of the year (Sydney, Juneau, and Washington D.C.) To complete the activity, students must:-- practice computing the parameters of sinusoidal functions and check their work by fitting an equation to the scatterplot-- use their equations to predict the hours of sunlight on specific days of the year-- use their graphs and equations to predict when pairs of cities will have the same amount of sunl

What Dosage Should I Prescribe?
Newly revised and improved. You can purchase many of your “over the counter” medications by just going to your nearby supermarket or convenience store. Many people do not realize that the dosages in these products are for the average person of a certain height and weight. This activity will ask the student look at data related to a person’s weight and the dosage of a certain medication that a doctor has prescribed. As your student works through this lesson, they will be asked to analyze the

Discovering Sine and Cosine Function Graphs
In this activity, students will use a linked Geogebra to explore the graphs of sine and cosine functions. They will manipulate the amplitude, the period, the phase shift, and the vertical shift parameters to determine how changing those parameters in the function affects its graph. They will reflect on how the algebra of the function relates to its geometry. They will then reflect upon what they have done by coming up with an equation for the period of the functions, exploring the sine/cosine

How Much Should I Charge? Math in Action series.
Newly revised and improved. How will the price a landlord charges affect number of apartments they rent? This lesson was created to reinforce analyzing and graphing data, identify the independent and dependent variable, calculate the slope of the line passing through the points, project rentals from their analysis, and formulate a conclusion. As an optional activity the student is asked to calculate the equation of the line for the data and compare the result to the one presented in the act

Root Function Discovery in Geogebra
In this activity, students explore transformations on root functions. They determine what happens when the root is odd or even. The determine how to shift and stretch the function vertically or horizontally. Students also look at domain and range for odd and even root functions.

Modeling the Business Cycle with Trig Functions
In this lab, students analyze GDP data from five fictional countries. To complete the activity, students:-- create scatterplots of their data using desmos.com/calculator (or other graphing utility)-- use their data sets to compute the parameters of underlying sinusoidal functions and use Desmos to compare their estimates to the data sets-- interpret the parameters of their equations in context by describing how the economies of each country compare and contrast to each other.-- are challenged to
