Position, Distance, Velocity
Provide a position function to "drive" the rectilinear (straight line) horizontal motion of an object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/position-distance-velocity
Euler's Method Introduction
Visualize the graph of an approximate solution to a differential equation and estimate a specific value of a solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eulers-method-introduction
Breaking Up is Not Hard to Do
In this activity, students will split rational functions into sums of partial fractions. Graphing is utilized to verify accuracy of results and to support the understanding of functions being represented in multiple ways.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-up-is-not-hard-to-do_1
Crossing the Asymptote
This lesson involves determining when the graph of a rational function crosses its horizontal asymptote.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/crossing-the-asymptote
Rational Functions
In this activity, students will discover, or re-discover, the connection between a rational function, transformations, and both vertical and horizontal asymptotes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_1
Identifying Sinusoidal Graphs
This lesson involves examining graphs, or partial graphs, of sinusoidal functions to determine the values of their parameters and to express them in various ways involving sine and cosine functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/identifying-sinusoidal-graphs
Stay Tuned Lab Sound Waveform Models
In this activity, students' will record the sound waveform of a tuning fork and analyze the waveform to determine frequency, period and amplitude information. They will model the waveform using trigonometric functions. This activity has been modified for TI-Nspire with the data in the activity file.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stay-tuned-lab-sound-waveform-models
Transitions
Students will explore converting rectangular equations to polar form and vice versa. Familiar trigonometric identities and circle relationships are applied in making the conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions_1
Trigonometric Patterns
Students use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-patterns@84
Higher Order Derivatives
Students calculate the second derivative of functions, inspect a graph and give the intervals for concave up and concave down and find the point of inflection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/higher-order-derivatives_1
