Introducing the Absolute Value Function
Students will examine data by comparing individual data points to the mean by finding the difference (positive or negative) and the distance from the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-the-absolute-value-function
Parabola Construction
Students construct parabolas using the focus and directrix definition. They also explore how the location of the focus with respect to the directrix affects the shape of the parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parabola-construction
Solve Log Equation
This StudyCards™ set begins with "what is an equation?" and continues by developing the connection between points on the graph of the related function and a solution to an equation. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 13-3.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solve-log-equation

How Fast Is Your Racer
Students become familiar with collecting and analyzing linear data. Students first perform a manually linear fit to their collected data, and are then introduced to the linear regression analysis capabilities of the calculator. The time taken for mousetrap racers to cover predetermined distances ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-fast-is-your-racer
Motorcycle Jump
This activity presents a scenario in which a motorcycle rider jumps off a ramp and travels along a quadratic path through the air.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump_1
How Far Will It Go
Students measure and record the total distance traveled by their individual moustrap racers. Using TI-Navigator the individual data is collected and aggregated. The aggregated class data is then sent to the individual student calculcators and students investigate histograms and box plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-will-it-go
Modeling Probabilities
Students use simulations and graphs to explore what happens when the number of trials of a binomial experiment becomes a large number.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities
Solving Equations by Graphing
This activity uses screen capture to introduce solving linear equations by graphing. Using screen captures save the teacher from having to go from one student to another to make sure the students' are typing the correct information into the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-equations-by-graphing
Graphs of Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form
TI Explorations books has a great activity for TI InterActive!™ in graphing parabolas in vertex form.
