Application of Slopes
Students will apply the concept of slope to a real-world problem about building a staircase. They will use the slope ratio, vertical change over horizontal change, to find the slope of staircase. Then, students will recognize how a positive or negative slope applies in a real-world situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-slopes
Applications of Parabolas
In this activity, students will look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships. Two applications are introduced after some basic patterns in the first two problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas_1
Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works. As the activity is occuring on the calculator, the students have a worksheet to record the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-equation-of-the-line

Sequence Investigation
In this activity, students will use a calculator page to create an arithmetic sequence. Through this they will learn some of the vocabulary of sequences. Then students will then use slider functionality to explore the effect of each variable in the formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequenc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequence-investigation_1
Area of the Missing Square
In this activity, students will be introduced to an area model for representing a quadratic equation. Students will explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation. The relationship will be examined with integer and non-integer values in o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square_1
