Exploring the Cycloid Curve
The TI Nspire's animation feature is used to show how a point on a rotating circle creates the cycloid curve. Students then examine the parametric equation of the cycloid. Finally, students are tasked with going online to investigate the terms brachistochronous and tautochronous and their relat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-cycloid-curve
Equations of Parabolas
Students draw and measure lines and segments to discover properties of parabolas, specifically that the distance from any point on the parabola is equidistant to the focus and the directrix. They work with parabolas whose vertex is on the origin as well as off the origin and they also with parabo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equations-of-parabolas
Extraneous Solutions
Students will solve quadratic equations step by step graphically. They will discover that some of the equations have an extraneous solution and they will investigate at which step in solving the equation that these extra solutions appear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/extraneous-solutions
