Graphing Relationships
In this activity, students explore information about a graph based on the first and second derivatives. They learn that a function's derivative is positive when the function increases and negative when the function decreases. They learn that the second derivative is positive when the graph is con...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-relationships

Position, Distance, Velocity
Provide a position function to "drive" the rectilinear (straight line) horizontal motion of an object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/position-distance-velocity
MVT for Derivatives
The MVT relates the average rate of change of a function to an instantaneous rate of change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mvt-for-derivatives
Breaking Up is Not Hard to Do
In this activity, students will split rational functions into sums of partial fractions. Graphing is utilized to verify accuracy of results and to support the understanding of functions being represented in multiple ways.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-up-is-not-hard-to-do_1
Crossing the Asymptote
This lesson involves determining when the graph of a rational function crosses its horizontal asymptote.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/crossing-the-asymptote
Rational Functions
In this activity, students will discover, or re-discover, the connection between a rational function, transformations, and both vertical and horizontal asymptotes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_1
Stay Tuned Lab Sound Waveform Models
In this activity, students' will record the sound waveform of a tuning fork and analyze the waveform to determine frequency, period and amplitude information. They will model the waveform using trigonometric functions. This activity has been modified for TI-Nspire with the data in the activity file.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stay-tuned-lab-sound-waveform-models
Higher Order Derivatives
Students calculate the second derivative of functions, inspect a graph and give the intervals for concave up and concave down and find the point of inflection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/higher-order-derivatives_1
Products of Linear Functions
This lesson involves polynomial functions viewed as a product of linear functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/products-of-linear-functions
Exponential Dice
This lesson involves using a simulation to generate data that can be modeled by exponential growth and decay functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-dice
Trig Ratios - IB
Students will use the handheld to discover the relationship between the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine and tangent and the side length ratios of a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-ratios_1
Parametrizing the Unit Circle
The purpose of this activity is to use parametric equations to "unwrap" the unit circle. This process will allow students to obtain the graph of the function y = sin(x).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametrizing-the-unit-circle
Helicopter Bungee Jump
In this activity, students will observe a simulation of a record breaking bungee jump, consider a mathematical model of the height as a function of time, and take the derivative to determine points of interest like the minimum height, maximum velocity, acceleration, and maximum jerk. Students wil...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helicopter-bungee-jump_1
Transformations of Exponential Functions - Part 1
Students will explore the family of exponential functions of the form f(x) = c * b x+aand be able to describe the effect of each parameter on the graph of y = f(x).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-of-exponential-functions
Symmetric Secant
Investigate the symmetric secant line to provide an estimate for the derivative of a function at a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetric-secant
