Texas Instruments: Quotient Rule

This activity will use the capabilities of their graphing calculator to illustrate the symbolic derivative product rule.

In this activity, students use mathematics to examine patterns that occur in a specific scenario and predict future events for the scenario. Data is collected on the time it takes to pass a ball. The students plot graphs, fit the data...

Students can use the graphing calculator to demonstrate the use of the difference quotient as the definition of the derivative.

In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points. They develop the idea of the derivative as a...

This learning check activity tests students understanding of the Trapezoidal Rule, Simpson's Rule, and the Midpoint Rule.

Students will learn how to program the TI 83/84 Plus graphing calculator to approximate the area under a curve using Left,Right,Midpoint Riemann Sums, and Trapezoid Rule, and Simpson's Rule.

This lesson introduces studes to Activity Center and is intended to help students develop an initial conceptual understanding of different uses of variables. They will contribute points and equations in Activity Center to find the...

Students will determine rules for integer operations using the calculator.

How many boxes of cereal must you buy to collect all six different prizes? Calculating this using probability rules is much more difficult than finding the answer using simulation. This lesson plan includes worksheets for students that...

This brief activity clarifies to use Bayes' Rule and conditional probability to narrow down searches. Students then have the opportunity to calculate some conditional probabilities using the same technique. Graphing calculator technology...
