Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Students generate random polynomials and observe the distribution of the zeros on the complex plane. From the distributions students are able to draw conclusions about the zeros, and therefore roots, of a polynomial in order to gain a better visual understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Alge...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fundamental-theorem-of-algebra

Applications of Critical Points
Students will examine the relationship between critical points and local extrema through real-world examples. Students will zoom in on the critical points to see if the curve becomes linear to determine if the function is differentiable at the critical point. They will then discover that the sign...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-critical-points
Perpendicular Slopes
Students investigate the 'negative reciprocal' relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines. The final phase of the activity is appropriate for more advanced students as they are led through an algebraic proof of the relationship. Optional geometric activities (problems 5 and 6 of the ....https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-slopes
Linear Inequalities
Students first look at tables of values to see that inequalities are true for some values of the variable and not for others. They then graph simple inequalities, comparing the handheld output with graphs they create on paper. The last two problems have students solve one-step linear inequalities...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-inequalities
One- and Two-Variable Statistics--Review
In this activity, students will review the concepts that they have learned thus far in statistics. The first part of the activity includes one-variable topics such as graphing quantitative variables, calculating measures of central tendency and spread, and making comparisons. The second part incl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-and-twovariable-statisticsreview_1
Probability Distributions
Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_2
Graphing Quadratic Functions
Students graph quadratic functions and study how the variables in the equations compare to the coordinates of the vertices and the axes of symmetry in the graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-quadratic-functions
Compositions Graphically
Students will use graphs and tables to find compositions of functions. Two of the compositions presented in this activity represent real-world situations, which should aid in students understanding the concept of compositions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/compositions-graphically
Complex Numbers
Students calculate problems from the student worksheet to determine the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/complex-numbers_1
Combinations
This activity introduces students to combinations. They derive the formula for the number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time by starting with a list of permutations and eliminating those that name the same group, just in a different order. From here they see how the number of combinat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/combinations
