Helicopter Bungee Jump
In this activity, students will observe a simulation of a record breaking bungee jump, consider a mathematical model of the height as a function of time, and take the derivative to determine points of interest like the minimum height, maximum velocity, acceleration, and maximum jerk. 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
Integers: Integer Builder
Drag positive and negative unit squares onto the stage and build integer additions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/integers-integer-builder
