Modeling: Exploring Medical Tests Results
In this activity, students investigate ideas that have appeared in many sources related to the recent pandemic. They will become familiar with terms such as false positives and false negatives, prevalence, sensitivity and specificity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling@-exploring-medical-tests-results
Modeling CO2 Levels
This activity uses data on monthly carbon dioxide (CO2) levels collected from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. It provides an opportunity to engage students with data that is relevant to contemporary discussions of climate change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-co2-levels
Big Data Sets - CO2 Levels
Students can explore the data of the monthly mean amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere measured in parts per million at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii from 1958 to 2022.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-data-@-co2-levels
It's the Law!
Students will derive the Law of Cosines by collecting and observing data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/it-is-the-law
Paying off a Loan
In this coding activity, students will write a program that asks for the principle, annual interest rate and monthly payment. The output will display the approximate number of months it will take to pay off as well as the total amount paid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/paying-off-a-loan
SAT Math Made Easy - Trial
In SAT Math Made Easy - Trial Edition, students will use TI-Nspire™ technology to explore common SAT math problems utilizing step-by-step processes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sat-math-made-easy-@-trial
Match the Graph
In this activity, students will match their motion to a given graph of position versus time and to a graph of velocity versus time. They will apply the mathematical concepts of slope and y-intercept to a real-world situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph_cxii
Stations Activity: Graphing Calculator Boot Camp
Build up students’ core skills with the TI-84 series calculator including tips on how to undo common mistakes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/boot-camp
Making Limits Exist
In this activity, students will graph piecewise functions and evaluate numerically and graphically the left hand limit and the right hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-limits-exist
Old McDonald's Pigpen
In this activity, students explore – numerically, graphically, algebraically, and verbally – the mathematics involved in maximizing the area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/old-mcdonalds-pigpen
Secant Lines
In this activity, students will observe the slopes of the secant and tangent line as a point on the function approaches the point of tangency.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secant-lines
Limits of Indeterminant Forms
In this activity, students will graph f(x)=sin(x)/x in order to visually determine the limit as x approaches zero. They will confirm the answer numerically by tracing left and right limit points on a graph and looking at values in a table.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limits-of-indeterminant-forms
Approximating the Area Under a Curve
In this activity, students will explore approximating the area under a curve using left endpoint, right endpoint, and midpoint Riemann sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximating-the-area-under-a-curve
Extrema and Concavity
Students learn how to find and label extrema using first and second derivatives, be able to inspect a graph and determine which extrema the function has, and be able to use trace, fMin, and fMax to verify the computed answers and find critical values for parametric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/extrema-and-concavity
Zooming In On Local Linearity
In this activity, students will explore the behavior of various functions by zooming in on their graphs. They will investigate the concept of local linearity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zooming-in-on-local-linearity
