Exploring Exponents
Students will investigate and describe negative and zero exponents on the base. Then, students will apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-exponents
Patterns in Division
Students investigate how the quotients and remainders from integer division relate to the quotients from rational number division in both fraction and decimal form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-division
Symmetry with Pattern Blocks
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a design that has a line of symmetry. They use the calculator to determine the value of half the design. They predict and then find the value of the entire design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetry-with-pattern-blocks
CONSTANT-ly
Students investigate a pattern using the constant function on the calculator, record the results displayed on the calculator, and describe how the constant key works.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constantly
