Helping students learn how to use built-in functions on the TI nspire
Students will follow step-by-step directions to become familiar with how to use the TI nspire's built in functions. Tutorial includes converting to decimal, approximating fractions, finding remainders, finding LCM, using factorials, creating mixed numbers, and factoring numbers to their prime fac...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-students-learn-how-to-use-builtin-functions-on-the-ti-nspire
Bathroom Flooring
This lesson involves students tiling the floors of three bathrooms with provided tiles and determining the cost of the floor based on the unit price of each tile.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bathroom-flooring
Composite Rectangular Figures
Students will find the perimeter and area of a composite rectangular figure. They will explain how to find the measures (lengths) of unknown sides as well as the area of the entire polygon by dividing the figure into smaller rectangular figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/composite-rectangular-figures
Comparing Pi's and Roots
This lesson involves manipulating the radius of a circle and the sides of a right triangle in an attempt to set the circumference of the circle equal to the hypotenuse of the right trianglehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-pis-and-roots
Comparing Double Line Graphs and Box Plots
Students are given a data table and are asked to look at the double-line graph to understand the trends that they observe in regards to indoor and drive-in movie theaters. They are then asked to investigate the trends that are presented to them when a box plot is created with the same data. Stud...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-double-line-graphs-and-box-plots
Examining Patterens in a Table, Function Rule, and Graphs
In this activity, students will identify characteristics of proportional and non-proportional linear relationships by examining patterns in a table, function rules, and a graph. Students will distinguish between proportional and non-proportional relationships by comparing patterns in table, funct...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/examining-patterens-in-a-table-function-rule-and-graphs
