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
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
Closure Tables
In this activity, students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables
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
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
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
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
Pi Song - Little Help
