Using Sliders and Parameters in Linear Functions
Students will have the opportunity to see the impact of the slope parameter m on a graph of a line in slope-intercept form by using a slider or by changing the values of the parameter. They will have the same opportunity to manipulate b. Questions follow to determine the degree to which the stude...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-sliders-and-parameters-in-linear-functions
Exploring Inverse Functions
Students will investigate the fundamental concept of an inverse, generate the inverse graphs of relations applying this concept, and algebraically determine the inverse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-inverse-functions
Secant/Tangent Line Connection
Students will explore a real situation by minimizing the distance between two points on a secant line; ultimately making a connection to the slope of the tangent line and the difference quotient. Students will explore this graphically, numerically, and analytically. An extension at the end allo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secanttangent-line-connection
Solids of Revolution
Students will investigate 3D visualizations of volumes created by rotating a function about the x-or y-axis. They will understand the concept and reason for the volume formula in order to be prepared for generalizations. Students will solve the definite integral by hand using the fundamental theo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solids-of-revolution
Investigation into the Sine Function
This activity leads the students through an investigation into the zeroes, domain and range of the sine graph. It continues investigating the transformations of the sine graph thus leading to the sinusoidal graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigation-into-the-sine-function
Unit Circle
Students will be able to describe the relationship between the unit circle and the sine and cosine functions. They will be also able to describe the shape of the sine and cosine curves after "unwrapping" the unit circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/unit-circle_1
Verifying Trigonometric Identities
The student will look at the different tools needed to verify trigonometric identitites including reciprocals, cofunctions, quotient, and Pythagorean identities. Students will also be introduced to the "Hexagon".https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/verifying-trigonometric-identities
Proof of Identity
Students use graphs to verify the reciprocal identities. They then use the handheld's manual graph manipulation feature to discover the negative angle, cofunction, and Pythagorean trigonometric identities. Geometric proofs of these identities are given as well.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proof-of-identity_1
The Unit Circle
