How Many? (Precalculus)
Students will be presented a situation in which they must use linear programming to determine the optimum production level to maximize profits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-precalculus
Influence and Outliers
In this activity, students will identify outliers that are influential with respect to the least-squares regression line. Students will describe the role of the location of a point relative to the other data in determining whether that point has influence on the least-squares regression line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/influence-and-outliers
Slope Fields Forever
Dynamically explore a particular solution to a differential equation for different initial conditions and investigate slope fields.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-fields-forever_1
Independence Is the Word
Students use a simulation to find the experimental probability of independent events. They will find the sample space and then compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/independence-is-the-word
Slope Fields
Use a visual representation of the family of solutions to a differential equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-fields
Hypothesis Testing: Means
Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size using the test statistic and the critical value. They also find the area under the curve to find the p value. Then, students will see how the result would change if they used a one-percent significance level or smaller sample size. An op...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hypothesis-testing-means_1
Sequences
Graphically evaluate the limit of a sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequences
Second Derivative Grapher
Visualize the relationship between the graph of a function and the graph of its second derivative.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/second-derivative-grapher
Secant/Tangent Line Connection
Students will explore a real situation by minimizing the distance between two points on a secant line; ultimately making a connection to the slope of the tangent line and the difference quotient. Students will explore this graphically, numerically, and analytically. An extension at the end allo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secanttangent-line-connection
Sign of the Derivative
Make a connection between the sign of the derivative and the increasing or decreasing nature of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sign-of-the-derivative
Margin of Error and Sample Size
This activity investigates the margin of error for a confidence interval and the relationship between sample size and the margin of error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/margin-of-error-and-sample-size
Solids of Revolution
Students will investigate 3D visualizations of volumes created by rotating a function about the x-or y-axis.

Taylor Polynomial Examples
Taylor polynomials associated with five common functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomial-examples
Somewhere in the Middle
In this activity, students will explore the Mean Value Theorem. Students will find out when the tangent line is parallel to the secant line passing through the endpoints of an interval to help them find the values of c guaranteed to exist by the MVT. Students will also test functions where the hy...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/somewhere-in-the-middle_1
