Taylor Polynomials Exploration
In this activity, students will examine another kind of polynomial approximation that is a generalization of the tangent line approximation. These polynomials are called Taylor polynomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials-exploration
Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Symmetric Secant
Investigate the symmetric secant line to provide an estimate for the derivative of a function at a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetric-secant
Area Function Demo
Connect the area under a derivative curve to the graph of the antiderivative.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-function-demo
Exponential Transformations
Graph exponential functions and explore by making changes in the parameters.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-transformations

Families of Functions Modular Course
This modular course is a series of video-based lessons providing instruction on how to graph, explore and transform parent functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-functions-modular-course
How Far Am I Off?
Students calculate a confidence interval using the chi-square distribution to estimate a population variance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-am-i-off_1
Percentiles & Z-Scores
Students explore percentiles and z-scores of normal distributions by graphing and calculating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles--zscores_1
Get to Know Me Math Posters
Celebrate positive actions in your math classroom with posters that decorate and motivate!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rise-over-run-posters
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error. They find confidence intervals for real-life scenarios and use those intervals to make a judgment about a claim. Finally, they use two formulas for finding the required s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion_1
Geometric Distributions
Students simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die to determine experimental probabilities and calculate theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-distributions_1
Density Curves
Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control

On Ramp to Robotics Unit 1- Motion Control
Students will learn and use basic concepts for robotic vehicle control, and write programs that will drive the TI-Innovator™ Rover.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/on-ramp-to-robotics-unit-1@-motion-control
Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios_1
Finite Differences
Investigate the sets of finite differences for linear and quadratic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finite-differences
What is Log?
In this activity, students will solve simple logarithmic equations and verify solutions using the corresponding exponential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-log
Walk the Line - 84
This activity will introduce the Calculator-Based Ranger™ 2 motion sensor and the Vernier EasyData® app. Students will collect data and analyze both linear and non-linear data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walk-the-line_84
Exploring Hyperbolas
Students will explore the hyperbola by investigating links between its standard equation form and its graph. They will also discover the center and the focal lengths of the hyperbola as well as see applications of the hyperbola in the real world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hyperbolas
Motorcycle Jump
Students will explore quadratic functions in the form of a motorcycle jumping off of a ramp. Students will maximize the height of the jump and the airtime of the jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump
Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, 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. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
