Forensics Case 12 - Hit and Run: Using information from an event data recorder to reconstruct an ac
Students learn how distance traveled, velocity, and acceleration are related to one another and how the appearance of an acceleration, velocity, or distance vs. time graph can be used to predict the appearance of the other graphs. They show how accident scenes can be recreated through an analysis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-12--hit-and-run-using-information-from-an-event-data-recorder-to-reconstruct-an-ac
Get on the Stick (Biology Applications)
Students use a motion detector to the measure the reaction time of other students. They graph the data from trials conducted in the class and analyze trends. They then calculate drop distance from reaction time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-on-the-stick-biology-applications
Ratios of Similar Figures
Students will explore the ratio of perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures in two-dimensional figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-of-similar-figures
Interesting Properties of Cubic Functions
This Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity encourages students to investigate numerical and graphical properties of cubic functions, and to verify the results using CAS.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interesting-properties-of-cubic-functions
Exponential Reflections
In this activity, you will investigate the inverse of an exponential function. You will also investigate the symmetry of the exponential function and its inverse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-reflections_1
Convergence of Taylor Series
A Taylor Series for a function becomes the function as the number of terms increases towards infinity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convergence-of-taylor-series
Segments and Chords in a Circle
This activity is designed to allow students an opportunity to gain an understanding of the relationship among the segment measures formed by intersecting chords in a circle. It includes an interactive geometry page, some circle problems, and a Euclidean proof.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/segments-and-chords-in-a-circle
Transformtions and Tessellations
In this activity you will construct a variety of transformations. In Problem #1 you will create a reflection of a pentagon, in Problem #2 a translation of a regular hexagon, in Problem #3 a rotation of a quadrilateral in two ways, in Problem #4 a dilation of a triangle. In each case you will ob...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformtions-and-tessellations
