Multiplicity of Zeros of Functions

Students will utilize graphs and equations of five polynomial functions to determine the zeros of the functions and whether the functions cross the x-axis at these zeros or just touch the x-axis at the zeros. Then students will determine the degree of the polynomial functions and the effect the d...

Is it Normal?

In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics. 
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal-@normal-distribution

Visualizing Fractions

In this activity, students will explore multiplication and division of fractions using several representations to develop fluency. Students will also solve problems involving similarity using proportions.

Transforming Fish

In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-fish

Creating Boxes

Students graph the relationship between the length of the sides of the cut-out squares and the volume of the resulting box. They trace the graph to decide the best square-size which can result in a box of maximum volume.
