Introducing the Absolute Value Function
Students will examine data by comparing individual data points to the mean by finding the difference (positive or negative) and the distance from the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-the-absolute-value-function
Trains in Motion
Students will make observations about the motion of two objects. They will compare and contrast this motion and consider how it corresponds to a graph representing distance as a function of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trains-in-motion
Transformations: Two Functions or Not Two Functions
Students create original artwork using all functions and conics studied throughout the course. Lines and absolute values, conic sections and whatever else they can stick in a "y=" are combined with some calculator tricks to make works of art that the students are really proud of.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--two-functions-or-not-two-functions
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
The Tortoise and the Hare
Students develop patterns using two or more rational number quantities. They comprehend the concept of functions by understanding the relationship between these quantities and their sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tortoise-and-the-hare
CDs Anyone?
Students write rules for real world functions. They make a table to compare function values and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cds-anyone
Expanding Space Station
Students will find and compare function rules for a given pattern. They also evaluate variable expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/expanding-space-station
Storefront Signs
Students learn to find area and explore the quadratic function. They compare the areas and patterns of squares within a square.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/storefront-signs
Absolutely!
Students first solve linear absolute value equations in a single variable using the definition of absolute value to write and solve two equations. They then explore the handheld's functionalities for solving and checking such equations. Students view graphs of absolute value inequalities, compare...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolutely
Evaluating Logarithms
In problem 1, students explore the logarithm (base 10) function and compare the functions y = 10x and y = log 10x first through a table of values, then through a graph. In problem 2, students explore logarithms with other bases via tables, graphs, the calculator application and the change of base...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/evaluating-logarithms
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
Midpoint Quadrilateral
This problem presents an opportunity for students to think about properties of quadrilaterals, and also to work on confirming observations through geometric reasoning. If your state has adopted the Common Core State Standards, this alignment might be helpful: Geometry: Prove Geometric Theorems G....https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midpoint-quadrilateral
Polly, Want Some Division?
In this activity, students will use polynomial calculations to determine quotients and remainders when performing polynomial division using CAS commands. The Remainder Theorem is introduced and applied to identify roots or zeros and to determine function values. Graphs are incorporated to visuall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polly-want-some-division
