Parabolas | Paper Folding Activity with digital options using the TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator

Join us in this engaging activity where we fold real paper to create a net that aligns with a parabola, then transition to a TI-Nspire calculator to explore the same in a dynamic environment including the Geometry and Graphs applications. This is the first video in this multi-part series where we focus on understanding the properties of parabolas rather than repetition of factorsing, expanding and graphing quadratics. The video and activity series is completely free. It focuses on the unique properties of parabolas in a simple accessible format. From understanding through to modelling, the series takes a deep dive into this amazing and beautiful mathematical entity. Perfect for students and educators seeking a hands-on approach to mastering parabola concepts! Download the free activity from the Texas Instruments website: https://education.ti.com/en-au/austra...
