How Much Does Bubble Gum Stretch a Rubber Band?
Students will conduct an experiment where they determine how much various quantities of bubble gum affect the length of a rubber band.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-much-does-bubble-gum-stretch-a-rubber-band
Have You Lost Your Marbles?
In this activity, students will create a bridge between two chairs and use a slinky to attach a bucket to the bridge. Students will add objects to the bucket and determine the relationship between the number of items added and the distance from the floor.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/have-you-lost-your-marbles
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
Introducing Families of Functions
Students will be able to identify important characteristics of specific function families. This activity focuses on linear and quadratic functions, but can be easily adapted to work with any family.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-families-of-functions
Intercepts, Zeros, Roots, Factors, & Solutions
During the activity, students will use the CALCULATE functions, POLYSMLT, and the graphing capabilities of their grapher to analyze the relationship between, x-intercepts, zeros, roots, factors, and solutions of polynomial functions/equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intercepts-zeros-roots-factors--solutions
Understanding the Linear Equation (Function Families)
I used this activity with my grade nines to assist their understanding of the parts of the equation y=mx+b.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-the-linear-equation-function-families
Breaking Spaghetti
Students will do a lab where they keep track of the number of strands of spaghetti versus how many "weights" it takes to break the spaghetti. They will enter lists and create a scatter plot. Students will also find the equation for the line of best fit. The TI-Navigator System can then be used...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-spaghetti
The Triangular Box Problem (and Extension)
Student will discover the relationship between the height of a box with a triangular base and its volume and student will find the height that will produce the maximum volume of the open-topped box.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-triangular-box-problem-and-extension
