October 22, 2024 Algebra II graphing and modeling with the TI-Nspire  

Get calculator, graphing and modeling/regression tips and activities to help teach and help students explore and learn with TI Nspire technology.

• Polynomial equations and functions: graphing and evaluating, finding relative extrema, and an exploration of zeros.   

• Modeling various functions: linear, quadratic, exponential

• Perform statistical regression, choosing the best model, and interpolating and extrapolating information.

1. Graphing tips and tricks 

(The Graphs Application pdf for those who are new and appreciate a handout with what buttons to press)

 tricks: ctrl menu (right-click), ctrl T for table, ANALYZE graph, TRACE a polynomial - press ENTER to drop a point.

Don't use the Scratchpad if you want to use additional menu options for Geometry > Intersection. Use a New Document.

More tips on my covenantbird Youtube channel for finding intersection points.

2. Math Nspired activity: Exploring Polynomials - factors, roots and zeros 

(Math Nspired-Alg 2/Polynomials) 

3. FactorGame.tns - using technology to help them not use technology and to get practice finding zeros of polynomials. Available at https://sites.google.com/site/tinspiregroup in the Algebra folder
