Students split rational functions into sums of partial fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-up-is-not-hard-to-do
Let the Sun Shine
Students will explore daylights times of cities at different latitudes. They will create a scatterplot of the data and then find the cosine equation that matches the data. This should be worked in groups of 4, each student choosing a city of a different latitude. An extension at the end would ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-the-sun-shine
Products of Linear Functions
This lesson involves polynomial functions viewed as a product of linear functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/products-of-linear-functions
Logarithmic Transformations of Data
This lesson involves three real-world data sets in which the relationship between each pair of variables is non-linear. Students will be asked to describe the original relationship between each pair of variables, and observe how each transformation is used to achieve a linear relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/logarithmic-transformations-of-data
Parametrizing the Unit Circle
The purpose of this activity is to use parametric equations to "unwrap" the unit circle. This process will allow students to obtain the graph of the function y = sin(x).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametrizing-the-unit-circle
