Basic cruise control is where the car's computer automatically adjusts the throttle so that the car maintains a constant speed. Adaptive cruise control responds to the car's surrounds, in particular slowing down or accelerating as applicable when the vehicle in front changes it's speed. In this activity students will program the TI-Innovator Rover to respond accordingly when a vehicle or object in front of it changes position.

The modulus and argument form of a complex number can be written in two ways, but how are they connected? ‘CIS’ format is a straight forward application of trigonometry, but what about e ? In this activity students explore the Taylor expansion of ex and compare it with the Taylor expansion of cos(x) + sin(x) revealing a small difference relating to an alternating sequence of negative signs which can be adjusted using i. The activity removes the mystery and replaces it with a beautifully connected piece of mathematics

In the Rotations “lesson bundle”, students will explore rotations and their properties. Throughout the lessons, students are encouraged to make observations related to their investigations, leading them to discovering the properties of rotated figures. Explorations can be done via rotations on a grid and without a grid.
