Exploring The Golden Arches
Using given nutritional information of popular items from McDonald's, the students will develop and test a conjecture based on the given information. The students will analyze the two-variable data using the graphics calculator by creating a scatter plot and regression equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-golden-arches
Connecting Factors and Zeros
Students will determine if a quadratic formula is factorable, then they will factor the equation, set each factor equal to 0, and solve for X. (Categories include linear functions, graphing, and factoring.)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/connecting-factors-and-zeros
Box It Up (A Graphical Look)
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up-a-graphical-look
Graphing Families of Quadratic Functions
Students will use the Transfrm app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in vertex form, will be summarized by students in their own words. S...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-families-of-quadratic-functions

Students will represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols. They will also use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences-and-series
Ball Toss Activity
Students receive data from tossing a ball into the air. They are to graph it, set a window, and analyze the height, how long it was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ball-toss-activity
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
Working Hard or Hardly Working?
Students analyze univariate and bivariate data. Questions are posed for discussion, further research, and algebraic problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/working-hard-or-hardly-working_1
Euler's Method Introduction
Visualize the graph of an approximate solution to a differential equation and estimate a specific value of a solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eulers-method-introduction
Exploring Linear Equations
Students will enter "life expectancy" data into lists and set up scatter plots and trace the scatter plot to select two points. Secondly, they will use the points to calculate slope and write a linear equation. Finally, they will use the Transformation Graphing App to fit the data using a linea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-linear-equations_2
Estimating a Population Proportion

The first formula assumes no estimate of the sample proportion, while the second ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion_1
Motorcycle Jump
Students will explore quadratic functions in the form of a motorcycle jumping off of a ramp. Students will maximize the height of the jump and the airtime of the jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump
Extreme Punkin' Chunkin': Application of Quadratic Functions in Standard Form
Students explore extrema, zeros, and other key values of quadratic functions in real-world contexts.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/extreme-punkin-chunkin
