Students take a field trip to a local ski area(or simply a nearby hill) and calculate the slope of a hill at several positions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-slope-slope-on-the-slopes
Patterns in the Periodic Table
Students will create a linear model using data from the periodic table - atomic number and atomic mass - and make predictions about "missing" or "unknown" elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-the-periodic-table
Building Bridges Between Engineering and Mathematics
In this activity, students walk through an engineering design project that has a cool algebra twist. Students will develop a foundational relationship between mass, force, and gravity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-bridges-between-engineering-and-mathematics
Arrow- An Activiaty for Plotting Points
Students are given points to plot in activity center. The points will form an arrow. The teacher can then direct students to change the coordinates to translate the picture. Students practice plotting points, integer operations, and see transformations in one activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arrow-an-activiaty-for-plotting-points
