Breaking Up Over Model Bridges
The learning objective of this activity is to introduce the concept of reciprocal functions having the form: xy = k or y = f(x) = k/x, where k is a constant and x and y are variables. In Part I, twelve one inch paper squares arranged in various rectangles illustrate that length x width = 12 sq...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-up-over-model-bridges
Trains in Motion
Students will make observations about the motion of two objects. They will compare and contrast this motion and consider how it corresponds to a graph representing distance as a function of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trains-in-motion
Transformations of Absolute Value Functions
In this activity, students explore transformations of absolute value functions by examining graphs of families of functions. Students will recognize patterns and make predictions about transformations of absolute value functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-of-absolute-value-functions
Transformations: Two Functions or Not Two Functions
Students create original artwork using all functions and conics studied throughout the course. Lines and absolute values, conic sections and whatever else they can stick in a "y=" are combined with some calculator tricks to make works of art that the students are really proud of.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--two-functions-or-not-two-functions
Hurricane Hunters: Tracking Katrina and Rita
In this activity students will use data collected on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to study functions, predictions, and probability models. Students will track the two hurricanes to see how the paths of the hurricanes affected the Gulf Coast of the United States. Students will use list, graphs, a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hurricane-hunters-tracking-katrina-and-rita
An Introduction to Inverse Variation
In this lesson, students will explore the properties of inverse variation functions by analyzing a scatter plot that is produced by the students. This lesson uses the Activity Center in TI-Navigator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-introduction-to-inverse-variation
Absolutely Wonderful
The activity uses Cabri Jr. and TI-Navigator™ to explore the angle between the branches of an absolute value function. By the end of the activity, absolute value functions will be connected to trigonometry. This activity can be used in an algebra 2/pre-calculus course where students are already...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolutely-wonderful
Finite Differences
Students will understand patterns, relations. and functions using mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finite-differences_1
The Tortoise and the Hare
Students develop patterns using two or more rational number quantities. They comprehend the concept of functions by understanding the relationship between these quantities and their sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tortoise-and-the-hare
Expanding Space Station
Students will find and compare function rules for a given pattern. They also evaluate variable expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/expanding-space-station
Walking the Line
Students use linear functions to model and solve problems in situations with slope and a constant rate of change. They learn to represent situations with variables in expressions, equations, and inequalities and use tables and graphs as tools to interpret them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walking-the-line
Computing by Degrees!
Students use the calculator to solve trigonometry problems using sine, cosine, and tangent. They also find inverses of trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/computing-by-degrees
Picnic Challenge
Students find patterns to solve problems, explore functions, and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/picnic-challenge
