They will use their calculators to discover the power of exponents and their usefulness in the world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-power
Walking the Line
Students use linear functions to model and solve problems in situations with slope and a constant rate of change. They learn to represent situations with variables in expressions, equations, and inequalities and use tables and graphs as tools to interpret them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walking-the-line
I Can Guess Your Numbers
Students use the calculator to improve their number sense, analysis, and reasoning. They find numbers, given their product.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/i-can-guess-your-numbers
Computing by Degrees!
Students use the calculator to solve trigonometry problems using sine, cosine, and tangent. They also find inverses of trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/computing-by-degrees
How Fast for Whiplash? Going with the Flow
Students recognize direct variation as a rate of change and apply it in problem situations. They also use average rates of change to make decisions in problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-fast-for-whiplash-going-with-the-flow
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 pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
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
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
