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
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 the Parabola
Students explore the key features of the parabola, both geometrically and algebraically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-parabola
Reduce It!
Students write augmented matrices for systems of equations and then solve the system by writing the augmented matrix in reduced row-echelon form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reduce-it
How Many? (Precalculus)
Students will be presented a situation in which they must use linear programming to determine the optimum production level to maximize profits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-precalculus
Discriminating Against the Zero
Students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero_84
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
Application of Area Formulas
Students will be able to find the area of polygons by breaking a polygon into familiar shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-area-formulas
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
Periodic Table App
This App provides students with a graphical representation of the elements of the Periodic Table. Information includes 15 properties and facts about the 109 known elements. Students get to explore graphs of the periodic nature of the elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/periodic-table-app
Fraction Multiplication
This activity uses interactive unit squares to explore the concept of fraction multiplication. The concept of fraction multiplication is developed by considering the area of a unit square that has been partitioned into rectangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fraction-multiplication
Fractions as Division
In this activity students explore the division of two whole numbers by a fraction. It is important for students to recognize that this concept shows two different ways to think about the same fraction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-as-division
Comparing Units
This activity builds students’ awareness of the role played by a unit’s scale or size when working with fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-units
Multiplying Fractions by a Whole Number
This activity uses a number line to develop multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. It builds on the earlier concept that the product of two whole numbers r and s is r sets, each containing s elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiplying-fractions-by-a-whole-number
Units Other than Unit Squares
This activity uses an area model to examine differences in the size of unit squares. Student investigation of the model leads to the understanding that fractions make sense only in reference to a particular scale or unit. Students consider how one half of a unit square can represent different are...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/units-other-than-unit-squares
Creating Equivalent Fractions
This activity is intended to be a deeper investigation into equivalent fractions, going beyond recognizing and identifying them. Students should know that two numbers are equivalent (equal) if they are located at the same point on the number line and that the larger of two numbers is the on...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-equivalent-fractions
