NASA - Space Shuttle Ascent
This activity will engage students in a space shuttle launch and introduce them to the different events that take place during the space shuttle's ascent into space.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-ascent_1
NASA - Robonaut 2: First Humanoid Robot in Space
NASA uses robots in many ways to help with space exploration. When it’s possible for robots to perform tasks, rather than people, there are some obvious advantages. Robots do not have to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. They can perform tasks over and over in exactly the same way without gett...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--robonaut-2-first-humanoid-robot-in-space
Intersecting the Solutions
In this teacher-led activity, students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically. They will learn the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions and create equations that draw upon this connection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solutions
How Many Solutions?
Students graph systems of linear functions to determine the number of solutions. In the investigation, students are given one line and challenged to draw a second line that creates a system with a particular number of solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-solutions
Are They Truly Random?
Students will develop lists of random numbers generated by the TI-Nspire handheld.
