Inequality Graphing App
Students explore inequalities by entering inequalities using symbols, plot their graphs (including union and intersection shades), store (x, y) coordinate pairs as lists, enter inequalities with vertical lines in an X= editor, and trace points of interest (such as intersections) between functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inequality-graphing-app
Recursive Sequences
Students use the sequence mode of the graphing calculator to generate recursive sequences and then examine the values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recursive-sequences
Quadratic Regression with Transformation Graphing
Students will enter data into lists and graph scatter plots and perform a multiple regression on the plots. They will also make predictions or draw conclusions from the quadratic model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-regression-with-transformation-graphing
Intersection
In this activity, students will investigate modeling the motion of two people to find where they will meet and at what rate each was walking.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersection
Parabola Construction
Students construct parabolas using the focus and directrix definition. They also explore how the location of the focus with respect to the directrix affects the shape of the parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parabola-construction
