Cottage Water Problem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to solve a geometry problem. They move the vertex point that is common to two right triangles along the base to find the smallest possible sum of the length of the hypotenuse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cottage-water-problem
Induced Magnetic Fields
In this activity, students will use a strong permanent magnet to induce a magnetic field in a metal object. They will measure the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field around the permanent magnet and around the induced magnet. They will also compare how magnetic field strength changes wit...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/induced-magnetic-fields
Can I Make a Triangle?
This TI-Nspire activity is for the Triangle Inequality Theorem. There are 3 problems that contain 3 segments each. The student tries to make triangles with these segments. They compare the lengths of the shortest to the length of the longest to see if the inequality is true or false. For the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-i-make-a-triangle
Ratios of Similar Triangles
In this activity, students will explore two ways of comparing side lengths of similar triangles. They will calculate ratios and change the triangles to see how the ratio changes. Then they will write proportions using the ratios.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-of-similar-triangles_1
Box Plot Comparison
In this activity, students will create dot plots and box-and-whisker plots of the temperatures of three different cities along the United States' East Coast: Caribou, Maine, Washington, DC, and Tampa, Florida. Students will make dot plots for each city and compare the representations to one ano...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plot-comparison
Composite Rectangular Figures
Students will find the perimeter and area of a composite rectangular figure. They will explain how to find the measures (lengths) of unknown sides as well as the area of the entire polygon by dividing the figure into smaller rectangular figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/composite-rectangular-figures
Living on the Edge
Students build a solution to a rather complex problem: Finding the edge length of an octahedron given its volume by solving two simpler problems first.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/living-on-the-edge_1
Distances in the Coordinate Plane
Students will explore distances in the coordinate plane. After finding the coordinates of a segment’s endpoints, students will substitute these values into the distance formula and compare the results to the measured length of the segment. Then students will find the distance between the endpoint...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/distances-in-the-coordinate-plane_1
Triangle Inequality Theorem
In this activity, students will explore the concepts underlying the Triangle Inequality Theorem by comparing side lengths and angle measures of a triangle. They will use an interactive construction to see why this theorem is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequality-theorem_1
Describing Bivariate Data (Two Quantitative Variables)
Students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables in bivariate data using various x-y plots. They compare the relationships for several categories on the same plot. Students calculate the correlation coefficient to measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/describing-bivariate-data-two-quantitative-variables
Calculating the Area of a Triangle Using Heron's Formula
Students will measure the lengths of the sides of three different triangles and apply Heron's Formula to calculate the area in acres. The measurements for this activity may be done outside or, using a specified scale, completed inside. Students will calculate the area using their graphing calcul...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-the-area-of-a-triangle-using-herons-formula
Got an equilateral triangle? with Cabri Jr.
Using the Compass tool in Cabri Jr., students will construct an equilateral triangle, and check the length of each side. When a vertices is moved using the Alpha hand, the triangle remains equilateral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-an-equilateral-triangle---with-cabri-jr
Greatest Area Activity
In this activity students will explore area as it compares to length of rectangles with a fixed perimeter by creating lists of the possible dimensions and the areas of these rectangles. Students will then graph a scatterplot of the data, find the quadratic regression, and explore the table of val...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/greatest-area-activity_1
Continuous Compounding
In this activity, students deal with financial computations, where the interest is compounded continuously. Depending on the length of each compounding period, students will determine the number of compounding periods.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/continuous-compounding
Ratios of Similar Triangles
Students explore two ways of comparing side lengths of similar triangles. They will calculate ratios and change the triangles to see how the ratio changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-of-similar-triangles
