Students wil...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helicopter-bungee-jump_1
Exploring Linear Equations
Students will enter "life expectancy" data into lists and set up scatter plots and trace the scatter plot to select two points. Secondly, they will use the points to calculate slope and write a linear equation. Finally, they will use the Transformation Graphing App to fit the data using a linea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-linear-equations_2
Discriminating Against the Zero
Students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero_84
One Sided Limits
Students will be given piecewise functions and asked to evaluate both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c. Using sliders, students will estimate the value of the missing variable that makes the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-sided-limits_1
