Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks_1
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros_1
Circumference and Area of a Circle
Students explore how to derive pi (∏) as a ratio. Students also study the circumference and area of a circle using formulas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circumference-and-area-of-a-circle
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
Can Pythagoras Swim?
Students will investigate relationships between sides of right triangles to understand the Pythagorean theorem and then use it to solve problems. Students will simplify expressions using radicals and exponents in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-pythagoras-swim_1
What’s Half of a Half of a Half?
Students will use a physical model to determine what happens when they repeatedly halve a piece of paper, and then they reassemble the pieces into a whole. They then use an algebraic model to analyze the same situation, which leads to an introductory discussion of limits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-half-of-a-half-of-a-half
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan
What Makes a Food Nutritional?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritional
Circle Around
Students compute the circumference and area of circles. They understand that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is a value (3.14) called pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-around
The First Twelve Days of School
Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-first-twelve-days-of-school
Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/will-girls-and-boys-be-equal
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
3x3 Linear Systems of Equations
This lesson involves connecting graphical representations of systems of linear equations in three variables to the number of solutions of those systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/3x3-linear-systems-of-equations
10% Rule
This lesson involves investigating the differences between the standard deviations of sampling distributions of means for samples taken from finite populations with and without replacement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/10-rule_1
Central Limit Theorem
This lesson involves examining distributions of sample means of random samples of size n from four different populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/central-limit-theorem_1
It's To Be Expected - 84
Students use a tree diagram to find theoretical probabilities and use this information with lists to find the expected value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-to-be-expected
