Exploring Linear Equations
Students will enter "life expectancy" data into lists and set up scatter plots and trace the scatter plot to select two points. Secondly, they will use the points to calculate slope and write a linear equation. Finally, they will use the Transformation Graphing App to fit the data using a linea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-linear-equations_2
One Sided Limits
Students will be given piecewise functions and asked to evaluate both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c. Using sliders, students will estimate the value of the missing variable that makes the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-sided-limits_1
Periodic Table App
This App provides students with a graphical representation of the elements of the Periodic Table. Information includes 15 properties and facts about the 109 known elements. Students get to explore graphs of the periodic nature of the elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/periodic-table-app
How Do Your Errors Grow!
A simple measuring activity allows students to explore the sometimes difficult concept of significant figures, both manually and with the help of the Science Tools App's Sig-Fig Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-your-errors-grow
Transformations of Exponential Functions - Part 1
Students will explore the family of exponential functions of the form f(x) = c * b x+aand be able to describe the effect of each parameter on the graph of y = f(x).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-of-exponential-functions
Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Symmetric Secant
Investigate the symmetric secant line to provide an estimate for the derivative of a function at a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetric-secant
Derivative Analysis
Associate the verbal language of function behavior with characteristics of the graph of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-analysis
Exponential Transformations
Graph exponential functions and explore by making changes in the parameters.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-transformations
How Far Am I Off?
Students calculate a confidence interval using the chi-square distribution to estimate a population variance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-am-i-off_1
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error. They find confidence intervals for real-life scenarios and use those intervals to make a judgment about a claim. Finally, they use two formulas for finding the required s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion_1
Finite Differences
Investigate the sets of finite differences for linear and quadratic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finite-differences
