Graphing Quadratic Functions
Students graph quadratic functions and study how the variables in the equations compare to the coordinates of the vertices and the axes of symmetry in the graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-quadratic-functions
Properties of Logarithms - IB
In this activity, students will compare logarithmic properties to their exponential counterparts.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms
Introducing Absolute Value
This activity introduces absolute value from a data value perspective. Students examine data by comparing individual data points to the mean by finding the difference (positive or negative) and the distance from the mean. They then plot the distances vs. the differences and examine the shape of t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-absolute-value
Permutations & Combinations
