Parametrizing the Unit Circle
The purpose of this activity is to use parametric equations to "unwrap" the unit circle. This process will allow students to obtain the graph of the function y = sin(x).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametrizing-the-unit-circle
Nonlinear Systems of Equations
Students will be introduced to nonlinear systems of equations. 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
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
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
Conics In Winter
Students explore conic graphing using a polar notation equation and determine the effects the various variables on the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-winter
Exploring Pi with the TI-Nspire
We've all done the lesson where you use a string to compare the measurements of the circumference and the diameter of a circle. Students can now explore that same activity on the TI-Nspire.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-pi-with-the-tinspire
Integers: Integer Builder
Drag positive and negative unit squares onto the stage and build integer additions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/integers-integer-builder
Properties of Parallelograms
Students explore the various properties of parallelograms and the necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_2
Triangle Inequalities
In this activity, students will discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem and explore the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle given the other two side lengths. Students will also classify the type of triangle as acute, obtuse, or right using the Pythagorean inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequalities
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
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
Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball
