The Park Problem
The goal of this activity is for students to see a real world application of a minimization problem. Students have to determine where to place a track inside a park to minimize the total distance of the track in Lazy Town.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-park-problem
Families of Functions
Change sliders and observe the effects on the graphs of the functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-functions
End Behavior of Polynomial Functions
Students will use a slider to scroll through the graphs of power functions with a coefficient of positive and negative 1 and determine similarities and differences among the functions. Students will generalize the end-behavior properties of various power functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/end-behavior-of-polynomial-functions
Exploring the Cycloid Curve
The TI Nspire's animation feature is used to show how a point on a rotating circle creates the cycloid curve. Students then examine the parametric equation of the cycloid. Finally, students are tasked with going online to investigate the terms brachistochronous and tautochronous and their relat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-cycloid-curve
Equations of Parabolas
Students draw and measure lines and segments to discover properties of parabolas, specifically that the distance from any point on the parabola is equidistant to the focus and the directrix. They work with parabolas whose vertex is on the origin as well as off the origin and they also with parabo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equations-of-parabolas
Introduction to CAS. Adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, expanding
This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be given a set of rules. The activities look at adding and subtr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-cas--adding-polynomials-solving-equations-factoring-trinomials-expanding
