This activity brings together a range of ideas from Activity 1 and 2 using a combination of rotation and dilation matrices and a very powerful visual and algebraic approach. The activity gives function to the use of matrices and highlights how relatively complicated expressions can be determined very easily. Students connect many aspects of the Specialist Mathematics course in a single activity that is sure to engage students.

Model the optimization area problem for fencing on 3 sides. In Year 1, a linear relation between length and width is demonstrated. In Year 2, a quadratic relation between area and width is demonstrated. In year 3, students can compare their Calculus solution with the one provided on the Math Notes page. In addition, there is an activity to learn how to construct the TI-Nspire fence problem. Self-directed instructions with keystrokes are included with each activity.

Model twenty-one classic optimization problems involving area, volume and distance using multiple representations. Assign these problems for students to solve by Calculus. Then have the students compare their solutions with those presented on TI-Nspire’s Math Notes pages. Self-directed instructions with keystrokes are included with each activity.

Combine architectural beauty with some simple and elegant mathematics and you have the recipe for an engaging mathematical investigation. This is the first stage in a three part investigation that starts with some simple linear equations and their respective points of intersection, journeys through and understanding of parametric equations and concludes in part three with limits and implicit differentiation. So get started on your journey with Part 1 of String Graphs.

In this activity, simulated random sampling is used to develop the concept of the sample proportion as an estimator of the population proportion. Simulation will allow us to investigate how a sample proportion varies from sample to sample.

Finding solutions to two linear simultaneous equations is straight forward, until someone puts a parameter in it! Including parameters changes the complexity of the question, so using a slider to provide a visualisation of the problem can make things a lot easier to understand.

The purpose of this material is to provide immediate feedback for teachers and students using the TI-Navigator system. The questions are automatically corrected and summarized using the TI-Navigator software providing teachers with the opportunity to respond to students needs. A PDF copy of the assessment is provided for schools that do not have TI-Nspire and TI-Navigator.
