Permutations & Combinations
Students explore permutations and combinations by arranging letters when order does and does not make a difference.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/permutations--combinations
Parametric Equations and Graph Data Bases
Parametric equations are equations that express the coordinates x and y as separate functions of a common third variable, called the parameter. You can use parametric equations to determine the position of an object over time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations-and-graph-data-bases
Parametric Equations
We express most graphs as a single equation which involves two variables, x and y. By using parametric mode on the calculator you may use three variables to represent a curve. The third variable is t, time. (Topics - parametric functions)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations
