Make the Basket

Students will use parametric equations to model two physical situations: making a free throw (basketball) and hitting a home run (baseball). Students will begin exploring the models by using sliders to change to the angle and velocity of the shot or hit. They will then move the time slider to see...

Linear Equation Games: Activity #7 Blackblobs

This is the Nspire version of the old DOS program 'Green Globs'. Students are given random points in which to find their own equations. The more points they go through with one line, the better their score.

Linear Equation Games Unit: Activity #4 What's My Linear Equation

In this activity, students are given a graph and they are to find the values for the slope and y-intercept to create an equation that models the graph.

Linear Equation Games Unit: Activity #9 9 Ball Game

This activity provides a ‘9 Ball Pool Table’ on a graph page. Students are to begin the game by clicking on the ‘play’ button to start the animation of the pool balls. They move the 'cue' ball around and find equations that go through the 'cue' ball, another ball(s) and the hole.

Wrapping Functions

This activity introduces students to various functions of a circular angle. They are shown a unit circle and a point P that can be dragged around the circle. As the point is dragged, different measures are captured, including angle measures, linear distance, and the area of a sector. The activity...

Math Man On The Slopes

In this activity, students will practice identifying slopes with informal pictures, and can self-check their understanding with one of the measurement tools. The students will also identify the slope and intercept of a given graph and will choose the correct equation in a multiple choice format.

Proof of Identity

Students use graphs to verify the reciprocal identities. They then use the handheld's manual graph manipulation feature to discover the negative angle, cofunction, and Pythagorean trigonometric identities. Geometric proofs of these identities are given as well.

Permutations & Combinations

Students explore permutations and combinations by arranging letters when order does and does not make a difference.

Outbreak

Students explore a geometric sequence related to an outbreak of the flu, extrapolate to make predictions based on given data, and apply summation notation to determine the sum of any number of terms, n, in a series.

Zeros of Polynomials

Students graph polynomials to determine the value and number of zeros for a given polynomial.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zeros-of-polynomials

Dilations with Matrices

In this activity, students will use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origin of triangles. Students will explore the effect of the scale factor on the size relationship between the preimage and image of a polygon.

Graph Logarithms

Investigate the graphs of a family of logarithm functions by changing the a-value over the internal 0 to 4.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graph-logarithms

Constructing an Ellipse

Students will explore two different methods for constructing an ellipse. Students discover that the sum of the distances from a point on an ellipse to its foci is always constant. This fact is then used as the basis for an algebraic derivation of the general equation for an ellipse centered at th...

Application of Polynomials

Students use the volume formula to find cubic polynomials in order to determine the dimensions of four different-size boxes used for packaging trash bags.

Birthday Problem

Investigate the probability of two people having the same birthday in a crowd of a given size.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/birthday-problem

Equations of Parabolas

Students draw and measure lines and segments to discover properties of parabolas, specifically that the distance from any point on the parabola is equidistant to the focus and the directrix. They work with parabolas whose vertex is on the origin as well as off the origin and they also with parabo...

Introduction to CAS. Adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, expanding

This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be given a set of rules. The activities look at adding and subtr...
