Let's Play Ball with Families of Graphs
This activity is designed for students to use real-time data to generate a family of parabolic graphs. The data set will be generated by graphing the heights of a ball bounce with respect to time. Students will determine the regression equations to the graphs and determine their relationships. ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-play-ball-with-families-of-graphs
Exploring Circles
Explore the relationship between the center and radius of a circle and the equation of the circle. Collect data and determine regression equations related to various combinations of data, and use the regression equations to make predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-circles
Geometric Sequences & Series
Students find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet and create scatter plots of the sequences to see how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio and/or the sign of the first term of the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences--series_1
The Calcumites are Coming! - TI-83
Students model the growth of a population and compare ideal growth with a population whose growth is limited. They use technology to find exponential and logistic regression equations and use them to plot models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-calcumites-are-coming--ti83
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
