Students will understand patterns, relations, and functions. They will also use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/generating-recursive-sequences-to-explore-linearity
Get Your Numbers in Shape (TI-83/84 Family)
Students produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. Students also find the Y-value of a function if the X-value is provided, and vice versa.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-your-numbers-in-shape-ti8384-family
Proof of Identity
Students use graphs to verify the reciprocal identities. They then use the calculator's manual graph manipulation feature to discover the negative angle, cofunction, and Pythagorean trigonometric identities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proof-of-identity
Winning Inequalities (Part 1)
Students write and interpret a linear equation and an inequality with two variables and use the Inequality Graphing Application to map inequalities on a coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/winning-inequalities-part-1
STOP
Students use an interactive page to calculate the speed of the car, given a stopping distance, and then approximate stopping distance, given the rate of the car.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stop
Introducing the Absolute Value Function
Students will examine data by comparing individual data points to the mean by finding the difference (positive or negative) and the distance from the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-the-absolute-value-function
