Parallel or Perpendicular-What's Your Inclination?
This activity has students discover the relationship between parallel and perpendicular lines and their slopes. After constructing these objects using CABRI Geometry II for the TI-89, slopes are measured. (Topic - parallel and perpendicular lines)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-or-perpendicularwhats-your-inclination
Fractions and Skittles
Students will predict how many of each color will be in one pack of skittles before they open the package. Once they open the package, they will determine how close their predictioins are to the actual amount. Students then will come up with ratios and averages.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-and-skittles
Creating Word Problems
Students write word problems based on the whole numbers generated by the calculator. They decide on an operation to solve the problems. Finally, they analyze the problems to determine the problem characteristics when using operations on whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-word-problems
What Makes a Food Nutritious?
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-nutritious
Dilation
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the geometric property of dilation. They vary the scale factor and examine the effect on the dilation of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilation
Exploring the Unit Circle
In this activity, students explore the properties of a unit circle and its mapping functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-unit-circle
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Number of Regions - An Introduction to the TI-Nspire CAS
This activity uses the problem of determining the maximum number of regions formed by n lines in a plane to introduce new users to the TI-Nspire CAS. It illustrates the variety of features available on the TI-Nspire CAS, as well as the ability to look at one problem from multiple representations ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-of-regions--an-introduction-to-the-tinspire-cas
Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
This lesson will introduce students to many of the algebraic graphing features of the TI-89 calculator, especially the Maximum command. This will be accomplished by solving volumes of right rectangular prisms. (Algebra / geometry activity)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/volumes-of-rectangular-prisms
Who Needs Mixed Numbers?
Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers_1
What's So Special About 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered patte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11
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
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. For this activity, students need prior experience writing linear models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan_1
In Round Numbers
Students will develop and test rules for rounding whole numbers and decimal fractions. They will use the information to solve real-world problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/in-round-numbers
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in feet and inches. They will use the TI-34 MultiView™ scientific calculator to convert actual heights in inches to feet and inches, and they will compare the actual heights with their estimated heights. Finally, they will graph the estima...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
To Simplify or Not to Simplify...
Students will discuss fractions and what it means to simplify them using prime factorization. Students will then use the calculator to simplify fractions manually as well as investigate both the prime factorization and greatest common factors of the numerator and denominator in various fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/to-simplify-or-not-to-simplify
