Inverse Functions
In this activity, students will apply inverse functions to real world situations including temperature and money conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-functions_ib
Vertical and Phase Shifts
Students explore vertical and phase shifts of sine and cosine functions and determine the effect that each change has upon the shape of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-phase-shifts
Have a Heart... or a Snail!
Students will make connections between the Cartesian graphs of trig functions and Polar graphs involving cardioids and limacons (with and without a loop).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/have-a-heart###-or-a-snail
Around the Vertex in 80 Days
Students move a quadratic function in the coordinate plane to specific points to observe how the vertex form of the equation changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/around-the-vertex-in-80-days
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
Graphing Relationships
In this activity, students explore information about a graph based on the first and second derivatives. They learn that a function's derivative is positive when the function increases and negative when the function decreases. They learn that the second derivative is positive when the graph is con...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-relationships
