Chirp, Jump, Scatter
Students will find a best fit line for data graphed as scatter plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chirp-jump-scatter
Inverse Functions
In this activity, students will apply inverse functions to real world situations including temperature and money conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-functions_ib
Linear Transformations
This lesson involves linear transformations from R2 to R2 represented by matrices. Note: R2 = R x R represents the set of all pairs of real numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-transformations
Count the Differences
Students are given data, asked to find the finite differences, and then use this to find a polynomial that models the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/count-the-differences_1
Limacon Curve - 84
In this activity for the TI-84 family, students will observe different graphs of polar limaçon curves. Students will discover four different types of limaçon curves and their relationship to the ratio of a to b.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limacon-curve-@-84
Investigating the Derivatives of Some Common Functions
In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points using the table capabilities of the graphing handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-derivatives-of-some-common-functions_nspire
Graphing Relationships
In this activity, students will examine the graphs of functions along with their derivatives and look for relationships that exist.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-relationships_nspire
Summing Up Geometric Series
In this activity, students will explore infinite geometric series and the partial sums of geometric series. The students will determine the limits of these sequences and series using tables and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/summing-up-geometric-series
One Step at a Time
Students solve one-step equations involving addition and multiplication by substituting possible values of a variable.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-step-at-a-time
Order Pears
In this activity, students will interactively investigate ordered pairs. They will graphically explore the coordinates of a point on a Cartesian plane, identifying characteristics of a point corresponding to the coordinate. Students will plot ordered pairs of a function, list these in a table of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/order-pears_1
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Trig Patterns
In this activity, students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions. Students will compare angles created with the x-axis in all four quadrants and discuss with one another what is happening at each coordinate as they move the point around the circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-patterns-@ns
What is a Fraction?
This activity helps students understand and visualize a fraction as a number that can be represented as a point on a number line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-fraction
Equivalent Fractions
This activity helps students understand that two fractions are equivalent (or equal) if they are located at the same point on the number line. Students recognize that, as with whole numbers, when ordering fractions the larger of two fractions is located farther to the right on the number line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equivalent-fractions
