Parametric Equations
We express most graphs as a single equation which involves two variables, x and y. By using parametric mode on the calculator you may use three variables to represent a curve. The third variable is t, time. (Topics - parametric functions)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations
Recursive Sequences
Students use the sequence mode of the graphing calculator to generate recursive sequences and then examine the values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recursive-sequences
Social Security Issues
In this activity, you will look at the relationship between the age at which you start drawing social security and the amount drawn. Both graphs and spreadsheets will be used.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/social-security-issues
Quadratic Regression with Transformation Graphing
Students will enter data into lists and graph scatter plots and perform a multiple regression on the plots. They will also make predictions or draw conclusions from the quadratic model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-regression-with-transformation-graphing
Orbit Of Jupiter
This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/orbit-of-jupiter
The Garbage Problem
Students examine data about garbage production and graphically represent data in a scatter plot. From the data students make predictions. They develop an understanding of the environmental impact of trash accumulation and the need for a plan to deal with potential garbage problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-garbage-problem

Guess the Ages
In this activity, the teacher will pick favorite "famous" people and ask the students to guess their ages. The names and birth dates are attached ("Famous Persons Birth Dates"). Participants use the calculator to enter the information and to view results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/guess-the-ages
The Slope of the Tangent Line (Part2)
In this activity, students graph the cubic and quadratic functions. They also graph the slope values of the tangent lines for each of the function graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-slope-of-the-tangent-line-part2
How Far Did You Walk?
In this activity, students will find the distance traveled when the velocity is constant by examining the area under the Velocity-Time graph and applying the formula d = r * t. They will also find the distance traveled for motion when the velocity is not constant by approximating the area under t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-did-you-walk
