Finding Patterns and Graphing Functions
This activity has students' find patterns in the areas and perimeters of a given series of figures. Students' then use graphing calculators to graph the values and to find linear and quadratic functions to describe the patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-patterns-and-graphing-functions
Flipping a Penny
In this activity, students will explore two functions which are inverses of each other. They also explore their characteristics and understand how they reverse each other's operation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/flipping-a-penny
Exploring the Parabola and its Equation Part 1 and @
Starting with y=x^2 going all the way to (in part 2)y=ax^2+bx+c, how do changes in the quadratic equation/function change the appearance of the parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-parabola-and-its-equation-part-1-and
Approximation of Pi
Students will measure the circumference and diameter of a variety of different circles. They will graph the class' values of (d,c) on the coordinate plane and use linear regression to approximate pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi
Area "FOILed" Again!
Students practice finding rectangular areas with algebraic expressions for the lengths of the sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-foiled-again
Understanding the Linear Equation (Function Families)
I used this activity with my grade nines to assist their understanding of the parts of the equation y=mx+b.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-the-linear-equation-function-families
Bounce Back
In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bounce-back
Velocity and the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will explore the position of the ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/velocity-and-the-bouncing-ball
Watch Your P's and Q's
Students will use the Rational Zero Theorem to find all rational zeros of a polynomial.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/watch-your-ps-and-qs
Verifying Absolute Value Inequalities with a Graphical Approach
Find the solution sets of absolute value inequalities like abs(x-3)5 using the equation editor (y=). Focus on finding the boundaries of inequality intervals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/verifying-absolute-value-inequalities-with-a-graphical-approach
Solving Systems of Equations
This activity can be used as a self assessment or as a small quiz over solving systems of linear equations. Requires knowledge of substitution and elimination.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-systems-of-equations
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
Solving Trigonometric Equations
Students represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-trigonometric-equations
Match the Graph (circles)
Students will learn about the equation for a circle by using a Study Cards stack. Later, students will attempt to match the graph of a circle from a digital picture, using the form learned previously, and approximating the center and radius of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph-circles
Parts is Parts
Students find a sample of a given size with a given mean. Students will show one way 100 families can have a mean of 2.58 children and understand the meaning of the term "average."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parts-is-parts
Aim High, Aim Low
Students will explore patterns related to place value in calculations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/aim-high-aim-low
What’s Half of a Half of a Half?
Students will use a physical model to determine what happens when they repeatedly halve a piece of paper, and then they reassemble the pieces into a whole. They then use an algebraic model to analyze the same situation, which leads to an introductory discussion of limits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-half-of-a-half-of-a-half
