Parametric Equations

We express most graphs as a single equation which involves two variables, x and y. By using parametric mode on the calculator you may use three variables to represent a curve. The third variable is t, time. (Topics - parametric functions)

Stretching a Penny

In this activity, students investigate how a spring stretches when different weights pull on it. They relate the stretch of the spring directly to the weight and vice-versa.

Inequality Graphing App

Students explore inequalities by entering inequalities using symbols, plot their graphs (including union and intersection shades), store (x, y) coordinate pairs as lists, enter inequalities with vertical lines in an X= editor, and trace points of interest (such as intersections) between functions.

Quadratic Regression with Transformation Graphing

Students will enter data into lists and graph scatter plots and perform a multiple regression on the plots. They will also make predictions or draw conclusions from the quadratic model.

Properties of Parabolas

Students interpret the equation for a parabola in vertex form and gain a visual understanding of a parabola's focal width.

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.

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.

Identifying Types of Correlation from a Graph and Calculator

Students will identify different types of correlations graphically and by using the linear regression analysis obtained from a TI-84 Plus calculator. Students will also obtain and know the significance of a correlation coefficient as a result of this lesson.

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 ...

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.

Modeling Probabilities

Students use simulations and graphs to explore what happens when the number of trials of a binomial experiment becomes a large number.

The Garbage Problem

Students examine data about garbage production and graphically represent data in a scatter plot. From the data students make predictions. They develop an understanding of the environmental impact of trash accumulation and the need for a plan to deal with potential garbage problems.
