Bewildered Babies
Students test the limits of the combinations formula by applying it to a labeling situation. After making charts and using logic to list possible label arrangements, students compare their results with the output of the combinations formula and nCr command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bewildered-babies_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
Beat the System
This can be used as an introduction to Systems of Equations. Students can work in groups or alone. They are shown graphs of the three different types of systems of equations and then asked to write equations of lines to create another set of systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beat-the-system
Families of Rectangles
Students create a family of similar rectangles and then write the equation of the curve that will connect the upper-right vertex of each rectangle. Students will then create a family of rectangles that have the same area and will write the equation of the curve that connects the upper-right verti...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-rectangles
The "Great Pyramid" - Rate of Change
Students will explore different rates of change. Using the TI-Nspire students will be expected to make predictions based upon information that a Pharaoh has given. Students will explore points in a scatter plot of time and height on the building of a pyramid in ancient times. They will calcula...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-great-pyramid--rate-of-change

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
Transitions
Students will explore converting rectangular equations to polar form and vice versa. Familiar trigonometric identities and circle relationships are applied in making the conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions_1
Nonlinear Systems of Equations
Students will be introduced to nonlinear systems of equations. It begins by allowing students to move figures around the screen to see ways certain types of graphs (linear/conic and conic/conic) can intersect each other and how many possible intersection points are possible. The activity conclude...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nonlinear-systems-of-equations
