Ride the Rollercoaster
In this activity, students will use polynomial regression to develop and assess the fit of equations modeling data. The equation models are then evaluated for reasonableness in their use for extrapolating beyond the given data sets.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ride-the-rollercoaster_1
Exploring Geometric Sequences
Students graphically analyze geometric series using graphs and consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and first term using sliders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-geometric-sequences
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
Applications of Domain and Range
Determine domain and range in real-world situations. Writing and graphing equations to model problems. Recognize the meaning of domain and range in the real-world situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-domain-and-range
Around the Vertex in 80 Days
Students move a quadratic function in the coordinate plane to specific points to observe how the vertex form of the equation changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/around-the-vertex-in-80-days
Count the Differences
Students are given data, asked to find the finite differences, and then use this to find a polynomial that models the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/count-the-differences_1
Investigating the Derivatives of Some Common Functions
In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points. They develop the idea of the derivative as a function. They gather evidence toward some common derivative for...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-derivatives-of-some-common-functions
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
What Is My Rule?
This activity encourages students to gain experience with the language of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each of the problems shows two points, z and w. Point z can be dragged, and point w moves in response. In describing the rule that governs the location of point w, students will most likely ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-my-rule
Shall I Double Up or Take the Million? Exponential Growth
If you were given the opportunity to be given a permanent monthly salary of 1,000,000 for 30 days of work or a salary beginning with a penny on day one and doubling each day for 30 days which would you choose?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shall-i-double-up-or-take-the-million-exponential-growth
Points on a Line
The Points on a Line activity is intended to develop student understanding of slope of a line. This activity is based on the concept of vertical change and horizontal change when moving between two points on a line. Students will perform an action on the TNS file and observe the consequences of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-line
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Recursive Sequences
In this activity, students will use the sequence mode of the graphing calculator to generate recursive sequences and then examine the values. They will also write recursive sequence formulas for given sequences.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recursive-sequences_1
Area of the Missing Square
In this activity, students will be introduced to an area model for representing a quadratic equation. Students will explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation. The relationship will be examined with integer and non-integer values in o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square_1
