Exploring Linear Relationships -- Stacking Cups and Walking Rates
In this activity, students will explore several examples of linear relationships. They will use a table to organize data that they collect and will make graphs to display that data. Students are prompted to write equations and interpret slope as a rate of change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-linear-relationships--stacking-cups-and-walking-rates
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
Similar Shapes
Students will explore properties of similar figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/similar-shapes
