Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
Orbit Of Jupiter
This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter. Problem 1 reviews the geometric definition of an ellipse as students calculate a and b from the perihelion and aphelion of Jupiter. Problem 2 develops the concept of a parametric curve by using a data capture to discover the coord...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/orbit-of-jupiter_1
Exploring Exponents

Pebbling the Chessboard
It’s amazing how often sequences and series pop up in problem solving. In this deceptively challenging problem three discs are placed on a chessboard in a bounded region. The task is to move the pieces out of this region with the only complication being that pieces double when moved. After you’ve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pebbling-the-chessboard
