Parametric Equations and Graph Data Bases
Parametric equations are equations that express the coordinates x and y as separate functions of a common third variable, called the parameter. You can use parametric equations to determine the position of an object over time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations-and-graph-data-bases
Properties of Logarithms
Students use a combination of algebra and graphing to discover the properties of logarithms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms_1
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
How Fast Is Your Racer
Students become familiar with collecting and analyzing linear data. Students first perform a manually linear fit to their collected data, and are then introduced to the linear regression analysis capabilities of the calculator. The time taken for mousetrap racers to cover predetermined distances ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-fast-is-your-racer
Modeling Probabilities
Students use simulations and graphs to explore what happens when the number of trials of a binomial experiment becomes a large number.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities
The Phone Bill Problem
The student is given actual data and asked to find a line of best fit and to give "real world" interpretations of the slope and y-intercept. A great introduction to the 83/84 and its features.

The Slope of the Tangent Line (Part1)
In this activity, students use the CellSheet™ Application to approximate the slope of a line tangent to a curve.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-slope-of-the-tangent-line-part1
The Slope of the Tangent Line (Part2)
In this activity, students graph the cubic and quadratic functions. They also graph the slope values of the tangent lines for each of the function graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-slope-of-the-tangent-line-part2
Taxes & Tips
Students explore the taxes and tips percentages commonly used in stores and restaurants. They will first develop the pattern of converting a percent to a decimal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taxes--tips_1
Exploring the Exponential Function
Students study the exponential function and differentiate between exponential growth or decay from an equation. They identify the coefficient in an equation that represents the rate of growth/decay. Students also explain the effect of changes in the values of A and B.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-exponential-function
Area "FOILed" Again!
Students practice finding rectangular areas with algebraic expressions for the lengths of the sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-foiled-again
Arithmetic and Geometric means
This activity relates the concepts of the arithmetic and geometric means of two numbers. Students, with the aid of their TI calculators and TI-Navigator system, compute the arithmetic and geometric means for four different pairs of numbers. They send their results to the teacher's computer where ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-and-geometric-means
Factoring Special Cases
Given a set of shapes whose combined areas represent the left-hand expression, students manipulate them to create rectangles whose areas are equal to the right-hand expression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-special-cases
Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Bewildered Babies
After making charts and using logic to list possible label arrangements, students compare their results with the output of the combinations formula and nCr command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bewildered-babies
Closure Tables
Students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables_1
Conserving Energy
