Application of Slopes
Students will apply the concept of slope to a real-world problem about building a staircase. They will use the slope ratio, vertical change over horizontal change, to find the slope of staircase. Then, students will recognize how a positive or negative slope applies in a real-world situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-slopes
Applications of Parabolas
In this activity, students will look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships. Two applications are introduced after some basic patterns in the first two problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas_1
Beat the System
This can be used as an introduction to Systems of Equations. Students can work in groups or alone. They are shown graphs of the three different types of systems of equations and then asked to write equations of lines to create another set of systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beat-the-system
Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works. As the activity is occuring on the calculator, the students have a worksheet to record the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-equation-of-the-line
Quadratic Yoga: Transforming Quadratic Functions
Students will use the vertex form of a quadratic function to fit a graph to a given scatter plot. They will also graph functions given a transformation description.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-yoga-transforming-quadratic-functions
Sums of Sequences
In this activity, students will develop formulas for the sum of arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students will then find the sum of sequences using the formulas developed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sums-of-sequences_1
Trigonometric Patterns
Students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-patterns
Introduction to Absolute Value
In this activity students will explore the definition of absolute value using a number line, plot points to graph y = |x|, and use sliders to perform transformations with absolute value functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-absolute-value
Area of the Missing Square
In this activity, students will be introduced to an area model for representing a quadratic equation. Students will explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation. The relationship will be examined with integer and non-integer values in o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square_1
