The Slope of the Curve Where Two Points Meet
Students will enter a function and investigate the slope of the secant as it moves closer to becoming a tangent.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-slope-of-the-curve-where-two-points-meet
Distance - Time Graphs
CBR™ and Graphing Calculators allow a conceptual understanding of distance-time graphs.Created in conjunction with California State University Bakersfield Professor Dr. P. Michael Lutz through funds provided by the California Mathematics Project.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/distance--time-graphs
Pass the Ball
Students use mathematics to examine patterns that occur in a specific scenario and predict future events for the scenario. Data is collected on the time it takes to pass a ball. The students plot graphs, fit the data with a function rule, analyze proportional relationships, and make predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pass-the-ball
Playing with the Transformation Application
Students try to fit a quadratic function to the 200 m world record data using the transformation graphing application.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/playing-with-the-transformation-application
What Goes Up Must Come Down
In this activity, students use the calculator to solve quadratic equations. They use the quadratic formula to determine the vertex and the x-intercepts of the graph of a quadratic function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-goes-up-must-come-down
LRAM_RRAM_MRAM -- A Graphical Investigation of how area under a curve is approx with rectangles.
This activity is designed for the student to investigate how area bounded by a curve and the x-axis can be approximated with areas of rectangles using LRAM, RRAM, MRAM.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lram_rram_mram--a-graphical-investigation-of-how-area-under-a-curve-is-approx-with-rectangles
