It begins by allowing students to move figures around the screen to see ways certain types of graphs (linear/conic and conic/conic) can intersect each other and how many possible intersection points are possible. The activity conclude...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nonlinear-systems-of-equations
Ride the Rollercoaster
Students use polynomial regression to develop and assess the fit of equations modeling data. The equation models are then evaluated for reasonableness in their use for extrapolating beyond the given data sets.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ride-the-rollercoaster
Accelerated Returns
Students compare periodic and continuous compounding and apply continuous compounding to a variety of problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/accelerated-returns
Transitions
In this activity, students review some basic relationships relating to the unit circle and apply these relationships in the conversion of a rectangular circle equation to polar form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions
Properties of an Ellipse
Students discover properties of an ellipse, such as the set of all points such that the sum of the distances from these points to two fixed points is constant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-an-ellipse_1
Exploring the Parabola
Students explore the key features of the parabola, both geometrically and algebraically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-parabola
Very Interesting
Students explore interest related to consumer loans, credit, and savings accounts.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/very-interesting
Reduce It!
Students write augmented matrices for systems of equations and then solve the system by writing the augmented matrix in reduced row-echelon form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reduce-it
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
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
Exploring Linear Relationships -- Stacking Cups and Walking Rates
In this activity, students will explore several examples of linear relationships. They will use a table to organize data that they collect and will make graphs to display that data. Students are prompted to write equations and interpret slope as a rate of change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-linear-relationships--stacking-cups-and-walking-rates

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
