World Population
Students use their handhelds to explore world population data from the years 1950-2006. They will develop various equations to model the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/world-population_1
Convergence of Taylor Series
A Taylor Series for a function becomes the function as the number of terms increases towards infinity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convergence-of-taylor-series
Segments and Chords in a Circle
This activity is designed to allow students an opportunity to gain an understanding of the relationship among the segment measures formed by intersecting chords in a circle. It includes an interactive geometry page, some circle problems, and a Euclidean proof.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/segments-and-chords-in-a-circle
Shortest Distances
Students will explore three situations involving distances between points and lines. First, the minimum distance between two points leads to the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
