S...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-families-of-quadratic-functions
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
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
Advanced Algebra Nomograph
Students use a nomograph, or type of function machine, to determine the rule of several functions by entering values of x and observing how the value of y changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/advanced-algebra-nomograph_1
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
Domain, Range and Function Mapping
Students explore the concept of domain, range and function mapping through a variety of visual representations. Interactive sets, ordered pairs and graphs provide for opportunities for students to explore, the idea is then flipped as students build a function to match the domain and range supplied.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/domain-range-and-function-mapping

Introduction to Quadratic Equations
This activity allows students to gain an understanding of quadratic equations. They will begin by using a Lists and Spreadsheet page to find the y-values of a specific function. They will then plot the x and y-values using a scatter plot to see the shape of the parabola. On top of this scatter...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-quadratic-equations
Vertical and Phase Shifts
Students explore vertical and phase shifts of sine and cosine functions and determine the effect that each change has upon the shape of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-phase-shifts
Rational Functions
Students investigate the graphs of functions of the form y = 1/(x - a). They will discover that the graph of such a function has a vertical asymptote at x = a, and a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. They will investigate the graphic and numeric consequences of such asymptotic behavior by observing ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_2
Around the Vertex in 80 Days
Students move a quadratic function in the coordinate plane to specific points to observe how the vertex form of the equation changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/around-the-vertex-in-80-days
The Dirty Dawg Salon
In this activity, students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs. They will translate fixed and variable costs to a cost function and make a decision about how much to charge to wash per dog. When the break-even point is found, students must interpret it to ans...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-dirty-dawg-salon
Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works. As the activity is occuring on the calculator, the students have a worksheet to record the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-equation-of-the-line
Here's Looking At Euclid
Students first use the familiar prime factorization method to calculate the GCD and LCM of two numbers. Second, they apply Euclid’s algorithm, an iterative process for finding the GCD, in conjunction with a formula for the LCM given the GCD. In order to use the algorithm, they must first grasp th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid
