Get Your Numbers in Shape (TI-83/84 Family)
Students produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. Students also find the Y-value of a function if the X-value is provided, and vice versa.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-your-numbers-in-shape-ti8384-family
How Many Drivers? Investigating the Slope-Intercept Form of a Line
In this activity, students will be introduced to the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. They will recognize the effects of changes in the slope and y-intercept on the graph of a line. Students will use the Transformation Graphing application to find an approximate linear model of the actu...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-drivers-investigating-the-slopeintercept-form-of-a-line
Supertall Skyscrapers
Students measure scale drawings of famous "supertall" skyscrapers and solve more proportions to find the heights of other skyscrapers drawn with the same scale.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/supertall-skyscrapers_1
Social Security Issues
In this activity, you will look at the relationship between the age at which you start drawing social security and the amount drawn. Both graphs and spreadsheets will be used.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/social-security-issues
Quadratic Regression with Transformation Graphing
Students will enter data into lists and graph scatter plots and perform a multiple regression on the plots. They will also make predictions or draw conclusions from the quadratic model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-regression-with-transformation-graphing
Intersection
