Crossing the Asymptote
This lesson involves determining when the graph of a rational function crosses its horizontal asymptote.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/crossing-the-asymptote
Rational Functions
In this activity, students will discover, or re-discover, the connection between a rational function, transformations, and both vertical and horizontal asymptotes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_1
Investigation of End Behavior
Students explore end behavior of rational functions graphically, algebraically, and by using tables.

Nonlinear Systems of Equations
Students will be introduced to nonlinear systems of equations. It begins by allowing students to move figures around the screen to see ways certain types of graphs (linear/conic and conic/conic) can intersect each other and how many possible intersection points are possible. The activity conclude...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nonlinear-systems-of-equations
