Modeling and Simulating Projectile Motion
This activity provides participants the opportunity to model and simulate projectile motion using a program and the TI-83/84 family of graphing calculators. It is a preliminary in-class activity used prior to actual launching an air-powered rockethttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-and-simulating-projectile-motion
Evaluating Expressions
Students will evaluate expressions using pencil and paper and then use the editing features of the home screen and/or the table feature of the TI-83 Plus to provide immediate positive reinforcement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/evaluating-expressions
Transforming Polynomial Functions
Students will understand patterns, relations, and functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-polynomial-functions
Double Tree
Students visually explore geometric sequences by modeling the growth of a tree that doubles in height every year.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/double-tree
Flipping a Penny
In this activity, students will explore two functions which are inverses of each other. They also explore their characteristics and understand how they reverse each other's operation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/flipping-a-penny
Finding a Line of Best Fit
Students make a scatter plot of heart rate versus age data and draw lines of best fit using three different methods - by hand, using the upper and lower quartiles, and using the handheld's regression feature.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-a-line-of-best-fit
Dog Days or Dog Years?
Students will use order pairs, table of values, and a scatter plot to determine a function that represents real world data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dog-days-or-dog-years_1
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
FACTORED POLYNOMIALS
The students will identify x-intercepts of polynomials and then write their own equations for polynomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factored-polynomials
Finding Linear Models
Students graph a scatter plot, find average rate of change, develop a linear model, find a linear regression and a median/median line for a set of data graphed in a scatter plot, and predict profit.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-linear-models
Area "FOILed" Again!
Students practice finding rectangular areas with algebraic expressions for the lengths of the sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-foiled-again
Back In Time?
Students will explore the definition of a function through use of a graph, a set of ordered pairs, and an input-output diagram.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/back-in-time
Cricket Thermometers
In this activity, students investigate the relationship between temperature and number of cricket chirps. They learn to find the other value of a function when given one value of a function. Students use linear regression and plot a set of ordered pairs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cricket-thermometers
Understanding Solutions of Systems Using Tables and Graphs
Students represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-solutions-of-systems-using-tables-and-graphs
Trigonometric Identities
Students will verify, prove, and explore trigonometric identities symbolically, numerically, and graphically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-identities
Using Matrices to Enter Data and Perform Operations
Students will select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data and understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-matrices-to-enter-data-and-perform-operations
Using Symmetry to Find the Vertex of a Parabola
Students graph a quadratic function and investigate its symmetry by choosing pairs of points with the same y-value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-symmetry-to-find-the-vertex-of-a-parabola
Common Denominator
Students will review and practice adding fractions with unlike denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator
Connecting Factors and Zeros
Students will determine if a quadratic formula is factorable, then they will factor the equation, set each factor equal to 0, and solve for X. (Categories include linear functions, graphing, and factoring.)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/connecting-factors-and-zeros
Constructing Lines from Individual Points in the Activity Center
