Students are given 3 - 4 points to plot in activity center. Students practice plotting points an can review the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pumpkin-graph--an-activity-for-plotting-points
Quadratic Equations with the CBL 2
Students will generate parabolas using the motion sensor. They will then determine the vertex form of the equation and compare it to the regression equation from the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-equations-with-the-cbl-2
Linear Equations Jeopardy
This activity is designed as a review of linear equations. Students will review slope, functions, writing equations in slope-intercept form, and point-slope form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-equations-jeopardy
Tides of Yaquina Bay
Students will use real data to determine average low and high tideshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tides-of-yaquina-bay
Linear Functions using the CBL 2™
Students will generate data on the CBL 2™ to represent a linear function. They will investigate the slope of a direct variation. Then they will use different starting points to represent y intercept.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-functions-using-the-cbl-2
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
Linear Regression: Wing Span/Height
Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class compares the different equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression-wing-spanheight
