Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
Fill the Vase
Students interpret graphs of empirical data with respect to rate of change of the height of water in vases of different shapes that are being filled at a constant rate. Students are provided with a range of graphs and vases. For each graph they must reshape the vase in order to match the volume –...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fill-the-vase
