Taxes & Tips
In this activity, students will increase their understanding of the use of the formula T = r × p, which is encountered both in the real world and in the typical Algebra 1 class. They will calculate the amount of taxes and tips exactly, and then use estimation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taxes--tips
Chirp, Jump, Scatter
Students will find a best fit line for data graphed as scatter plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chirp-jump-scatter
Graphs of the OTHER Trig Functions
This lesson involves providing opportunities for students to explore and make sense of the graphs of the cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-the-other-trig-functions_1
Linear Transformations
This lesson involves linear transformations from R2 to R2 represented by matrices. Note: R2 = R x R represents the set of all pairs of real numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-transformations
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
Exploring Motion in the Plane
In this activity, students will use a TNS file for visualizing the velocity and acceleration vectors at specific times associated with a particle as it moves along a curve.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-motion-in-the-plane
Order Pears
In this activity, students will interactively investigate ordered pairs. They will graphically explore the coordinates of a point on a Cartesian plane, identifying characteristics of a point corresponding to the coordinate. Students will plot ordered pairs of a function, list these in a table of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/order-pears_1
Applications of Parabolas
In this activity, students will look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships. Two applications are introduced after some basic patterns in the first two problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas_1
