Building Bridges Between Engineering and Mathematics
In this activity, students walk through an engineering design project that has a cool algebra twist. Students will develop a foundational relationship between mass, force, and gravity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-bridges-between-engineering-and-mathematics
Transforming Fish
In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-fish
Creating Boxes
Students graph the relationship between the length of the sides of the cut-out squares and the volume of the resulting box. They trace the graph to decide the best square-size which can result in a box of maximum volume.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-boxes
Zooooooom!
This activity uses times collected for a radio control car traveling certain distances to create a regression line to analyze and discuss as a class. If the car(s) cannot be obtained, you can use students to run the distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zooooooom
Building a Garden Fence
In this activity, students will use basic concepts of perimeter and area to investigate a classic problem situation requiring maximization. They must decide how to build a garden fence to enclose the largest possible area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-a-garden-fence
e – The Natural Number Coding Challenge
Celebrate the natural number by having your students write a program to approximate e. Students will apply a convergent series to approximate e.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/e-the-natural-number-coding-challenge
Boats in Motion
Students explore the motion of a boat going up and down the river. They will be instructed to solve the resulting system of equations algebraically and graphically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/boats-in-motion
On Ramp to Robotics Unit 2- Sensing
Students will explore the fundamentals of using sensors to control the TI-Innovator™ Rover.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/on-ramp-to-robotics-unit-2@-sensing
Cell Phone Range
Students will learn to identify the domain and range of various real-world step functions. They will graphically explore numerical data points and observe step functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cell-phone-range
Code The Anthem
Students are challenged to code the national anthem and simulate a flyover using the TI-84 Plus CE and the TI-Innovator Hubhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/code-the-anthem
Approaching the Golden Ratio
Students will observe that the ratio of consecutive terms in all Fibonacci-like sequences approaches the Golden Ratio.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approaching-the-golden-ratio
The Impossible Task
Students are given a manufacturing situation and asked to write and graph an inequalities to represent it and find the solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-impossible-task
Mapping Success
In this activity, students will load a background image of a map and use the scale on the map to estimate distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mapping-success
Testing for Truth
Students identify whether points lie within a shaded region that is bounded by linear inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-for-truth
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
Data Collection for Bar Graphs
Students collect data outside of the classroom, organize their information into a bar graph within their groups, and then contribute their data to Navigator in the form of 2 lists to view and discuss as a classhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-collection-for-bar-graphs
Going Into Business
Students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-into-business
REAL LIFE REAL WORLD Activity: Air Traffic Control
In this lesson, students will model and solve air traffic control problems with geometry software. The Cabri Jr. application will be used to construct a model of the problem situation and concepts from trigonometry and proportions are then applied to find the solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/real-life-real-world-activity-air-traffic-control
Graphing Systems at the Races
This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm. The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-systems-at-the-races
