Unit Circle template
This is a one page unit circle template that you can copy and paste into a document that you are creating. To make it fit the screen, change the document settings to "float 3," and I used degrees instead of radians for all of the angles up to 180 degrees. You will also want to view in "handheld...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/unit-circle-template
Application of Maximum-Minimum Problems
Students will use a graphing approach to find the minimum costs of running a new line from a power station to a point on an island. Students will begin with a scaled drawing and follow the prompts.

Students will investigate all the cases in which the Law of Sines can be used to solve a triangle. An animation is provided in the lesson which will help students to gain a better understanding of the ambiguous case SSA.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-sines_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
Law of Cosines
Students are introduced to the concept of the Law of Cosines. They will explore the concept graphically, numerically, and algebraically. They will discover the Law of Cosines at the conclusion of the activity using TI-Nspire CAS.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-cosines
From 0 to 180 - Rethinking the Cosine Law with Data
The goal of this activity is for students to experience a data-driven, inductive investigation leading to the cosine law. This could be used in addition to or instead of the traditional proof to deepen the understanding of the behavior of triangles and make the concepts more accessible to more s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-0-to-180--rethinking-the-cosine-law-with-data
The Ambiguous Case of the Sine Law
Investigation and practice of the Ambiguous Case of the Law of Sines using the TI-Nspire.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ambiguous-case-of-the-sine-law
Parameters in Secondary School: Logistics Functions
Designed for prospective secondary mathematics teachers, this activity has students predict, test and justify the effects of changing parameters d and b for the logistic function family given by f(x) = a/(1+b(e)^(cx)) + d. Reflection questions draw attention to the role of claims and evidence, in...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parameters-in-secondary-school-logistics-functions
Polar Point Plotting
The student will be given a brief overview of the Polar Coordinate system. Students will be able to manipulate the radius of a polar point while graphing it on the plane or manipulate the angle and see the polar coordinate graphed on the plane. This activity is meant as an introduction to polar p...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polar-point-plotting
Properties of Matrices
Students will learn three properties of matrices by following this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-matrices
Inverse Fun
Investigate inverses of functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-fun
Have You Lost Your Marbles?
In this activity, students will create a bridge between two chairs and use a slinky to attach a bucket to the bridge. Students will add objects to the bucket and determine the relationship between the number of items added and the distance from the floor.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/have-you-lost-your-marbles
Linear Programming
This activity adds a twist to a traditional linear programming problem by using the features of the TI-Nspire handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-programming
Exponential Growth and Decay
This activity is a few word problems that involve some formulas that use exponential growth and decay.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth-and-decay
Duckweed: Exponential Growth
Students will count the fronds of duckweed for nine days to observe the growth phase. Students will need one class period to start the experiment and one day for the final work and 15 minutes per day between start and finish.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/duckweed--exponential-growth
