Compare rates of growth between an exponential function and a power function for positive x-values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-vs--power
When Is Tangent, tangent?
This activity combines the ideas of unit circle, and a line tangent to the unit circle to explain how Tangent (the trig. ratio) is related to the concept of tangent to a figure (from geometry). The intent is to briefly explore the mathematical history of the trigonometric ratio "tangent" through ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/when-is-tangent-tangent
Advanced Algebra Nomograph
This activity is similar to a function machine. The nomograph is comprised of two vertical number lines, input on the left and output on the right. The transformation of input to output is illustrated dynamically by an arrow that connects a domain entry to its range value. Students try to find th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/advanced-algebra-nomograph
Inverse of Two Temps
