Pendulum Swing – Part 1
Students use a motion detector (CBR) and pendulum (fishing float) to collect data for the motion of a pendulum. The quality of the data never ceases to amaze students and teachers. Students align practical knowledge, logic and familiarity with the various parameters to transform a basic trigono...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pendulum-swing--part-1
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
Vectors Introduction
An introduction to vectors visually, conceptually and numerically. Students manipulate vectors to show addition (head to tail) and the parallelogram rule. Students use a column matrix to represent a vector and explore scalar multiples and the magnitude of a vector.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-introduction
