Inequality Graphing App
Students explore inequalities by entering inequalities using symbols, plot their graphs (including union and intersection shades), store (x, y) coordinate pairs as lists, enter inequalities with vertical lines in an X= editor, and trace points of interest (such as intersections) between functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inequality-graphing-app
Solutions
In this LearningCheck™ students decide which ordered pairs are solutions of equations in two variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solutions
How Far Will It Go
Students measure and record the total distance traveled by their individual moustrap racers. Using TI-Navigator the individual data is collected and aggregated. The aggregated class data is then sent to the individual student calculcators and students investigate histograms and box plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-will-it-go
Guess My Coefficients
Students will represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols and understand patterns, relations, and functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/guess-my-coefficients
Design Curves
Students plot points then use regression lines to design a vehicle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/design-curves
Applications of Parabolas
Students look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas

Students will use the Rational Zero Theorem to find all rational zeros of a polynomial.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/watch-your-ps-and-qs
Buying Your First New Car!
With a high interest topic, this activity graphs an exponential "decay" (depreciation) with a linear graph (car payments) and finds the intersection between the two graphs. Students groan when they watch their new cars "decay."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/buying-your-first-new-car
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
