Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works. As the activity is occuring on the calculator, the students have a worksheet to record the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-equation-of-the-line
Vertex form of a Parabola

Students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-patterns
Here's Looking At Euclid
Students first use the familiar prime factorization method to calculate the GCD and LCM of two numbers. Second, they apply Euclid’s algorithm, an iterative process for finding the GCD, in conjunction with a formula for the LCM given the GCD. In order to use the algorithm, they must first grasp th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid
Sequence Investigation
In this activity, students will use a calculator page to create an arithmetic sequence. Through this they will learn some of the vocabulary of sequences. Then students will then use slider functionality to explore the effect of each variable in the formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequenc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequence-investigation_1

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
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
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

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
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
Quadratic Connections
Students will investigate how the parameters a, b, and c for the function f(x) = ax^2+bx+c change its graph. In addition, first and second differences and their relationships to the values of a, b, and c are explored.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-connections
Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Derivative Analysis
Associate the verbal language of function behavior with characteristics of the graph of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-analysis

Are You and Your Students Ready for the IB® Exams?
...taking an IB® exam, we also need to review the calculator polices. Each calculator is only allowed to do so much for a student, therefore some of the functions on the handhelds are restricted and must be turned off. TI calculators can be put in Press-to-Test mode that will do this without much ef...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2023/ibresources
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
