Function or Program - This activity generates an amazing sequence. It is designed as an application task for the 10 Minutes of coding lessons in TI-Basic. The sequence is the same as the "fly straight" activity, however it works on a reduced instruction set to align with the skills developed in Unit 3.

This is a delightful way to introduce some simple coding. Designed to review lessons from Unit 1 - 10 Minutes of Code, the activity has students creating a version of the "Numbers" section of the Television show Letters and Numbers (Aus) and Countdown (UK). The code is really simple, the game is really addictive and is a great way for students to revise the four operations, with purpose!

What is the difference between a function and a program? This activity explores the differences through the Babylonian Square-root algorithm. While students are learning to code, reflecting on the 10 minutes of code lessons (Unit 2), they are also building their understanding of algorithms and square-roots.

Whether your looking for an activity for PI day, an application of Pythagoras's theorem or application of probability, "Another Piece of PI Monte" says it all. The Monte-Carlo technique has many applications, in this activity it is a simple approach for estimating PI. A similar activity can be done using the TI-30XPlus MathPrint (see the video).

This popular game was developed by 19 year old Gabriele Cirulli in a single weekend to test if he could program a game from scratch. Based on a similar game using 3's, the game soon became popular in the Google Play Store and was soon adapted to play in a web-browser. Now, thanks to Osias Hernandez it is available to play on TI-nspire!

The investigation deepens as students continue their quest to uncover the connections between the Pythagoras’s theorem, the Pythagorean Circle and infamous Fibonacci sequence that will appear centuries later. In this episode students discover irrational secrets, numbers that can’t be tamed or fully expressed. While the Babylonians provide a numerical entry point, the hauntingly elusive square roots threaten to expand the number system.
