Graphing Families of Quadratic Functions
Students will use the Transfrm app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in vertex form, will be summarized by students in their own words. S...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-families-of-quadratic-functions
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
An Introduction to Inverse Variation
In this lesson, students will explore the properties of inverse variation functions by analyzing a scatter plot that is produced by the students. This lesson uses the Activity Center in TI-Navigator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-introduction-to-inverse-variation
Absolutely Wonderful

Rational Functions
Students investigate the graphs of functions of the form y = 1/(x - a). They will discover that the graph of such a function has a vertical asymptote at x = a, and a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. They will investigate the graphic and numeric consequences of such asymptotic behavior by observing ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_2
Graphing Relationships
In this activity, students explore information about a graph based on the first and second derivatives. They learn that a function's derivative is positive when the function increases and negative when the function decreases. They learn that the second derivative is positive when the graph is con...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-relationships
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
MVT for Derivatives
The MVT relates the average rate of change of a function to an instantaneous rate of change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mvt-for-derivatives
Investigation of End Behavior
Students explore end behavior of rational functions graphically, algebraically, and by using tables. They will use multiple representations to look at values a given function approaches as the independent variable goes to positive or negative infinity. Tools are provided which support them in usi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigation-of-end-behavior
Stay Tuned Lab Sound Waveform Models
In this activity, students' will record the sound waveform of a tuning fork and analyze the waveform to determine frequency, period and amplitude information. They will model the waveform using trigonometric functions. This activity has been modified for TI-Nspire with the data in the activity file.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stay-tuned-lab-sound-waveform-models
Higher Order Derivatives
Students calculate the second derivative of functions, inspect a graph and give the intervals for concave up and concave down and find the point of inflection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/higher-order-derivatives_1
