Students will determine measurements indirectly ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today--when-a-ruler-isnt-enough_1
Lines, Models, CBR - Let's Tie Them Together (Electronic Format Only)
In this activity, students use a motion detector to collect "linear" motion data and examine the relationship between a physical action and a mathematical and/or graphic model of that action. The students will use the "eyeball" method to find the mathematical model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lines-models-cbr--lets-tie-them-together-electronic-format-only
Function Notation
This StudyCards™ stack teaches the meaning of the notation f(x). Cards also address finding, for example, f(2) given f(x), and the connection to the point on the graph of f(x). Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 3.1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-notation
Determine Equation of Absolute Value Function Given 3 Noncollinear Points

Approximation of Pi Using an Area Model
Students will approximate pi by setting up trigonometric ratios and calculating the areas of regular polygons inscribed within and circumscribed about a circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi-using-an-area-model
Investigating the Sine and Cosine Functions
Students use Cabri? Jr. to draw a circle and investigate the relationship between the coordinates of a point on the circle and sine and cosine of the angle whose terminal side passes through that point.
