Greatest Area Activity
In this activity students will explore area as it compares to length of rectangles with a fixed perimeter by creating lists of the possible dimensions and the areas of these rectangles. Students will then graph a scatterplot of the data, find the quadratic regression, and explore the table of val...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/greatest-area-activity_1
Maximizing Your Efforts
Students write an objective function and graph the system of inequalities to find the maximum profit from selling two types of game players.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximizing-your-efforts

Students graph polynomials to determine the value and number of zeros for a given polynomial.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-of-the-many-ways
Arithmetic and Geometric means
This activity relates the concepts of the arithmetic and geometric means of two numbers. Students, with the aid of their TI calculators and TI-Navigator system, compute the arithmetic and geometric means for four different pairs of numbers. They send their results to the teacher's computer where ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-and-geometric-means
Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Conserving Energy
Students will find both the kinetic and potential energies as the cart rolls down the ramp. They will find the sum of the two energies, and show that this value is constant at all times.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conserving-energy
Learning to Do Linear Regressions
This activity compares children's age to height to teach linear regressions. The handout includes notes for students and teachers with a step-by-step lesson on how to do 3 types of linear regressions - Best Fit line, Median Median Line and Least Squares Line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/learning-to-do-linear-regressions
Tracing Paper Inequalities
Students graph systems of linear inequalities in two variables in the Cartesian coordinate plane and find their solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tracing-paper-inequalities
Asymptotes & Zeros
Students relate the graph of a rational function to the graphs of the polynomial functions of its numerator and denominator. Students graph these polynomials one at a time and identify their y-intercepts and zeros. Using the handheld's manual manipulation functions, students can manipulate the gr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/asymptotes--zeros_1
Transformations: Two Functions or Not Two Functions
Students create original artwork using all functions and conics studied throughout the course. Lines and absolute values, conic sections and whatever else they can stick in a "y=" are combined with some calculator tricks to make works of art that the students are really proud of.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--two-functions-or-not-two-functions
Constructing an Ellipse
Students explore two different methods for constructing an ellipse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-an-ellipse
Let's Play Ball with Families of Graphs
This activity is designed for students to use real-time data to generate a family of parabolic graphs. The data set will be generated by graphing the heights of a ball bounce with respect to time. Students will determine the regression equations to the graphs and determine their relationships. ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-play-ball-with-families-of-graphs
Exploring Circles
Explore the relationship between the center and radius of a circle and the equation of the circle. Collect data and determine regression equations related to various combinations of data, and use the regression equations to make predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-circles
Balloons
This activity is about gathering data to create a scatter plot and then look at a line of best fit. Students will measure the circumference of a blown up balloon and then they will time how long it takes the balloon to deflate. They will enter this information in to their lists and then graph t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balloons
Titanic Tales
Students interpret data tables and graphs. They find percentages and create circle graphs to display data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/titanic-tales
Quilt Block Areas
Students will draw and color scaled drawings of traditional quilt block designs. They then find the appropriate fraction, decimal, and percent of the overall design for each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-block-areas
Central Limit Theorem
This lesson involves examining distributions of sample means of random samples of size n from four different populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/central-limit-theorem_1
