Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios_1
Finite Differences
Investigate the sets of finite differences for linear and quadratic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finite-differences
What is Log?
In this activity, students will solve simple logarithmic equations and verify solutions using the corresponding exponential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-log

NASA - Diving Down Deep
In this activity, students will explore a method for adding air to a gas cylinder diving tank, and determine the amount of gas needed by a support diver during a diving session.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--diving-down-deep
Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball
Are You and Your Students Ready for the IB® Exams?
The International Baccalaureate® (IB®) Diploma Programme exams are closing in, as May is just around the corner. Are your students ready? For almost 20 years now, I have been an IB® teacher, moderator and examiner at three different schools along the east coast, and for seven years I have be...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2023/ibresources
How High Will it Bounce?
Students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They also learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value of a parabola, analyze and find an exponential regression for the rebou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-high-will-it-bounce

Exploring Hyperbolas
Students will explore the hyperbola by investigating links between its standard equation form and its graph. They will also discover the center and the focal lengths of the hyperbola as well as see applications of the hyperbola in the real world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hyperbolas
Motorcycle Jump
Students will explore quadratic functions in the form of a motorcycle jumping off of a ramp. Students will maximize the height of the jump and the airtime of the jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump
Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
Exploring Higher Degree Polynomials
Investigate graphical and algebraic representations of a polynomial function and its linear factors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-higher-degree-polynomials
Modeling Probabilities
This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities_1
Orbit Of Jupiter
This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter. Problem 1 reviews the geometric definition of an ellipse as students calculate a and b from the perihelion and aphelion of Jupiter. Problem 2 develops the concept of a parametric curve by using a data capture to discover the coord...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/orbit-of-jupiter_1
Function or Relation?
In this activity, students will use graphs and lists to determine if sets of data represent functions or relations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-or-relation_1
Function or Relation?
Students use graphs and spreadsheets to determine if sets of data represent functions or relations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-or-relation
Binomial Probabilities
Students begin with a hands-on experiment of rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures. They then simulate their experiment by using the randBin command on their handheld. Next, they use the binomPdf command to find the theoretical probabilities and compare their ex...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities_1
Maximizing Your Efforts
Students write an objective function and graph the system of inequalities to find the maximum profit from selling two types of game players.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximizing-your-efforts_1
