Evaluating Logarithms
In problem 1, students explore the logarithm (base 10) function and compare the functions y = 10x and y = log 10x first through a table of values, then through a graph. In problem 2, students explore logarithms with other bases via tables, graphs, the calculator application and the change of base...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/evaluating-logarithms
Here's Looking At Euclid
Students first use the familiar prime factorization method to calculate the GCD and LCM of two numbers. Second, they apply Euclid’s algorithm, an iterative process for finding the GCD, in conjunction with a formula for the LCM given the GCD. In order to use the algorithm, they must first grasp th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid

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
Polly, Want Some Division?
In this activity, students will use polynomial calculations to determine quotients and remainders when performing polynomial division using CAS commands. The Remainder Theorem is introduced and applied to identify roots or zeros and to determine function values. Graphs are incorporated to visuall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polly-want-some-division
One Sided Limits
Students will be given piecewise functions and asked to evaluate both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c. Using sliders, students will estimate the value of the missing variable that makes the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-sided-limits_1
Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball

Modeling Probabilities
This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities_1
