Solve Me - Multi-Step Equations
Students will use the TI-Nspire CAS to check the steps they used to solve multi-step equations and equations with variables on both sides. They will also use the solve feature to verify that they have the correct solution at the end of each problem. While solving equations, many students make ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solve-me--multistep-equations
The Mean Value Theorem
Students are presented with a several examples of functions to discover the hypotheses and conclusion of the Mean Value theorem. They will explore the concept of continuity and differentiability as related to the Mean Value Theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-mean-value-theorem
Exponentialis ~ Logarithmus
In this story-style activity, students work through a step-by-step review of solving exponential equations using logarithms. At first, they are guided through process of using logarithms and checking them, with the help of 'Terry Plotter the mathemagician'. Then, students review identities and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponentialis--logarithmus
Cardioid Patterns - Discover Using Graphs
This activity will give students an opportunity to discover a pattern in the graphs of cardioids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cardioid-patterns--discover-using-graphs
Motorcycle Tire Balancing
In this activity, students will explore linear and angular velocities and the relationship between them. This exploration is based on using a spin balancer to balance motorcycle tires of different sizes. Since a spin balancer rotates at a constant velocity, the linear and angular velocities of th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-tire-balancing
Modeling Daylight Hours
Students are provided with data on the daylight hours for two Canadian cities measured three times per month in 2007. The student's task is to create graphical and algebraic models of the data and to interpret the meaning of each of the parameters in the algebraic models. The student will also ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-daylight-hours
Inverse Trig Functions
This activity works backwards by giving students the inverse functions and having them discover how they relate to the original functions. By tracing along the inverse function, data is collected and then plotted on a statplot. The variables are then switched on the statplot. The new plot and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-trig-functions
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
Law of Sines
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
What's My Absolute Value
Students will discover what taking the absolute value of a domain will do and what taking the absolute value of a range will do.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-my-absolute-value
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
Modeling Engine Power
In this activity, students use the TI-Nspire handheld to determine if a linear model or a quadratic model best fits a set of given data involving engine power. Students look at the pattern of data points and the sum of squares of the deviations to determine which model fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-engine-power
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
Getting Ready for Quadratics
This activity is intended as a skill-building exercise to familiarize students with TI-Nspire skills they will need to work through a unit studying the properties of quadratic functions. The activity includes exercises on Creating a Scatter Plot, Finding a Curve of Best Fit, and Tracing a Function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/getting-ready-for-quadratics
