Using Sliders and Parameters in Linear Functions
Students will have the opportunity to see the impact of the slope parameter m on a graph of a line in slope-intercept form by using a slider or by changing the values of the parameter. They will have the same opportunity to manipulate b. Questions follow to determine the degree to which the stude...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-sliders-and-parameters-in-linear-functions
Inverse Trig Functions
This activity works backwards by giving students the inverse functions and having them discover how they relate to the original functions. By tracing along the inverse function, data is collected and then plotted on a statplot. The variables are then switched on the statplot. The new plot and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-trig-functions
Graphs of Linear Functions
Students investigate the connections between the points on a line and the equation of the line written in slope-intercept form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-linear-functions
Permutations
Students are led through the development of the formula for finding n objects taken n at a time and then n objects taken r at a time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/permutations_1
Properties of Parabolas
This investigation offers an approach to show students the basic definition of a parabola as the locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a fixed line (directrix). Students will also interpret the equation for a parabola in vertex form and gain a visual understanding of a pa...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parabolas
Inverse of Two Temps

Students learn to graph scatter plots, analyze and graph linear equations, compute and model slope, derive and apply a conversion equation, and analyze inverse relat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-of-two-temps
Fractions to Decimal Form
This program and activity sheets allow teachers and students to explore both terminated and repeating decimal forms of any fraction (within limits). This version 1.0 allows for one conversion but can be rerun indefinitely.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-to-decimal-form
Exploring Quadratic Data with Transformation Graphing
Students practice with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the curve. They use this concept to find a quadratic model. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-quadratic-data-with-transformation-graphing
Body Relationships
Students will measure different parts of their body (height, thumb, etc.) and will create graphs to see if there are relationships between the measurements. Teachers can use the TI-Navigator™ System to compile student data so that students have more data points to plot on their graphs to help wi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/body-relationships
Function of a Circle
Students use Cabri,Jr. to construct a circle and its radius, measure both the circumference and the radius, and then collect data showing the relationship between the two. Using the TI-Navigator students input their data into lists and see the scatterplot of the collected data displayed on a coo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-of-a-circle
How Many Drivers? Investigating the Slope-Intercept Form of a Line
In this activity, students will be introduced to the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. They will recognize the effects of changes in the slope and y-intercept on the graph of a line. Students will use the Transformation Graphing application to find an approximate linear model of the actu...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-drivers-investigating-the-slopeintercept-form-of-a-line
Breaking Spaghetti
Students will do a lab where they keep track of the number of strands of spaghetti versus how many "weights" it takes to break the spaghetti. They will enter lists and create a scatter plot. Students will also find the equation for the line of best fit. The TI-Navigator System can then be used...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-spaghetti
