Students will conduct an experiment where they determine how much various quantities of bubble gum affect the length of a rubber band.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-much-does-bubble-gum-stretch-a-rubber-band
Graphing the Tangent to a Curve
Students will graph a function and the graph of the tangent line's slope as a point moves around the curve.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-the-tangent-to-a-curve
Introducing Absolute Value
This activity introduces absolute value from a data value perspective. Students examine data by comparing individual data points to the mean by finding the difference (positive or negative) and the distance from the mean. They then plot the distances vs. the differences and examine the shape of t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-absolute-value
