Exploring Slope: Slope on the Slopes
Students take a field trip to a local ski area(or simply a nearby hill) and calculate the slope of a hill at several positions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-slope-slope-on-the-slopes
Patterns in the Periodic Table
Students will create a linear model using data from the periodic table - atomic number and atomic mass - and make predictions about "missing" or "unknown" elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-the-periodic-table
Slopes and Y-Intercepts with Cabri Jr.
Use the TI-84 Plus, Cabri Jr., and TI-Navigator to teach slopes and y-intercepts in your Algebra classroom.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slopes-and-yintercepts-with-cabri-jr
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
Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios
Arrow- An Activiaty for Plotting Points
Students are given points to plot in activity center. The points will form an arrow. The teacher can then direct students to change the coordinates to translate the picture. Students practice plotting points, integer operations, and see transformations in one activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arrow-an-activiaty-for-plotting-points
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
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
Corralling Sheep
In this activity, students will write linear equations with restricted domains to model fencing around a herd of sheep, then map out the fencing using the TI-Innovator Rover.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/corralling-sheep
Investigating the Pythagorean Theorem
Use your TI-84 Silver Plus calculator and the Carbri Jr file 'PYTHAG' to have students investigate what happens to the results of the Pythagorean Theorem for acute, right, and obtuse triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-pythagorean-theorem
Compound Interest: Show Me the Money
This is an activity at the conclusion of the exponential relationship unit where students have experience with equations in the form y=a*b^x. Students use the random integer function on the TI-83 Plus to generate a rate of return for the investment profile they choose.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/compound-interest-show-me-the-money
Box Plots and Histograms
Students create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-and-histograms
Systems of Linear Equations
This activity is a series of LearningCheck™ documents to be used during a unit on solving systems of linear equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/systems-of-linear-equations_1
Snowflake Points
Students will connect the centers of snowflakes with a line preferably by applying the point-slope formula.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/snowflake-points
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
Pumpkin Graph - An Activity for Plotting Points
Students are given 3 - 4 points to plot in activity center. Students practice plotting points an can review the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pumpkin-graph--an-activity-for-plotting-points
Quadratic Equations with the CBL 2
Students will generate parabolas using the motion sensor. They will then determine the vertex form of the equation and compare it to the regression equation from the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-equations-with-the-cbl-2
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
Tides of Yaquina Bay
Students will use real data to determine average low and high tideshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tides-of-yaquina-bay
Linear Functions using the CBL 2™
Students will generate data on the CBL 2™ to represent a linear function. They will investigate the slope of a direct variation. Then they will use different starting points to represent y intercept.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-functions-using-the-cbl-2
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
Linear Regression: Wing Span/Height
Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class compares the different equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression-wing-spanheight
