Ride the Rollercoaster
Students use polynomial regression to develop and assess the fit of equations modeling data. The equation models are then evaluated for reasonableness in their use for extrapolating beyond the given data sets.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ride-the-rollercoaster
Coin Toss
Students will run two experiments that simulate pouring out coins from a bag.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/coin-toss
Transitions
In this activity, students review some basic relationships relating to the unit circle and apply these relationships in the conversion of a rectangular circle equation to polar form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions
Exploring the Parabola
Students explore the key features of the parabola, both geometrically and algebraically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-parabola
Very Interesting
Students explore interest related to consumer loans, credit, and savings accounts.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/very-interesting
Reduce It!
Students write augmented matrices for systems of equations and then solve the system by writing the augmented matrix in reduced row-echelon form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reduce-it
How Many? (Precalculus)
Students will be presented a situation in which they must use linear programming to determine the optimum production level to maximize profits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-precalculus
Discriminating Against the Zero
Students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero_84
Conics In Winter
Students explore conic graphing using a polar notation equation and determine the effects the various variables on the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-winter
Application of Area Formulas
Students will be able to find the area of polygons by breaking a polygon into familiar shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-area-formulas
Integers: Integer Builder
Drag positive and negative unit squares onto the stage and build integer additions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/integers-integer-builder
Comparing Units
This activity builds students’ awareness of the role played by a unit’s scale or size when working with fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-units
Properties of Parallelograms
Students explore the various properties of parallelograms and the necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_2
Triangle Inequalities
In this activity, students will discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem and explore the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle given the other two side lengths. Students will also classify the type of triangle as acute, obtuse, or right using the Pythagorean inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequalities
Side-Splitter Theorem
Explore the side-splitter theorem by collecting data from a triangle with a line parallel to one of its sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sidesplitter-theorem_1
Vertical and Adjacent Angles
In this introductory or review activity, students will explore vertical and adjacent angles. They will define and identify pairs of angles. Then they will change the intersecting lines of a geometric model to make conjectures about the relationships of the pairs of angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-adjacent-angles_1
Exponential Growth
This lesson involves finding an approximation for the value of the mathematical constant (e) and apply it to growth and decay problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth_ns
Investigating Boyle's Law
In this experiment, students will gather data with a Go Direct® sensor to learn of the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/boyles-law_ns
Webinar: Strive for the 5! Using TI Technology to Prepare for the AP® Precalculus Exam
In this on-demand webinar, the presenters will highlight resources and best practices for preparing students for the AP Precalculus exam using the TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire CX II graphing calculators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ap-precal_webinar_strive-for-five
Hands on Reflections
Students plot points to form an image of their right hand and then use transformations: reflections, rotations and translations to draw their left hand or reposition both hands in a very visual activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hands-on-reflections
