Investigating the Derivatives of Some Common Functions
In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points using the table capabilities of the graphing handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-derivatives-of-some-common-functions_nspire
Graphing Relationships
In this activity, students will examine the graphs of functions along with their derivatives and look for relationships that exist.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-relationships_nspire
Trig Patterns
In this activity, students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions. Students will compare angles created with the x-axis in all four quadrants and discuss with one another what is happening at each coordinate as they move the point around the circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-patterns-@ns
Just Move It - IB
In this TI-Nspire activity, the movements of the parent functions f(x)= x2 and f(x)= x3 will be explored.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/just-move-it_ns_ib

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
100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition and subtraction. They use estimation, a place value chart, and a calculator to place seven randomly generated numbers in the ones and tens position in a place-value chart to make a sum as close to 100 as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/100-or-bust
