Taylor Polynomials Exploration
In this activity, students will examine another kind of polynomial approximation that is a generalization of the tangent line approximation. These polynomials are called Taylor polynomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials-exploration
Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Symmetric Secant
Investigate the symmetric secant line to provide an estimate for the derivative of a function at a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetric-secant
Area Function Demo
Connect the area under a derivative curve to the graph of the antiderivative.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-function-demo
Derivative Analysis
Associate the verbal language of function behavior with characteristics of the graph of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-analysis
Exponential Transformations
Graph exponential functions and explore by making changes in the parameters.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-transformations

Families of Functions Modular Course
This modular course is a series of video-based lessons providing instruction on how to graph, explore and transform parent functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-functions-modular-course
How Far Am I Off?
Students calculate a confidence interval using the chi-square distribution to estimate a population variance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-am-i-off_1
Percentiles & Z-Scores
Students explore percentiles and z-scores of normal distributions by graphing and calculating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles--zscores_1
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error. They find confidence intervals for real-life scenarios and use those intervals to make a judgment about a claim. Finally, they use two formulas for finding the required s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion_1
Geometric Distributions
Students simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die to determine experimental probabilities and calculate theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-distributions_1
Density Curves
Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control
