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
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks_1
The Antics of Statistics
Students learn/review some of the different measures of statistics and see how to use those measures to analyze a data set. Students also participate in a discussion about how statistics can be used to achieve a variety of results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-antics-of-statistics_1
Who Needs Mixed Numbers?
Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in inches. They will convert inches to feet, and they will interpret the calculator results to express the estimated heights in feet and inches. Finally, they will graph the estimated heights and actual heights of the celebrities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man_1
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros_1
Circumference and Area of a Circle
Students explore how to derive pi (∏) as a ratio. Students also study the circumference and area of a circle using formulas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circumference-and-area-of-a-circle
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
What’s Half of a Half of a Half?
Students will use a physical model to determine what happens when they repeatedly halve a piece of paper, and then they reassemble the pieces into a whole. They then use an algebraic model to analyze the same situation, which leads to an introductory discussion of limits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-half-of-a-half-of-a-half
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan
Circle Around
Students compute the circumference and area of circles. They understand that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is a value (3.14) called pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-around
The First Twelve Days of School
Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-first-twelve-days-of-school
LRAM_RRAM_MRAM -- A Graphical Investigation of how area under a curve is approx with rectangles.
This activity is designed for the student to investigate how area bounded by a curve and the x-axis can be approximated with areas of rectangles using LRAM, RRAM, MRAM.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lram_rram_mram--a-graphical-investigation-of-how-area-under-a-curve-is-approx-with-rectangles
Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/will-girls-and-boys-be-equal
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
3x3 Linear Systems of Equations
This lesson involves connecting graphical representations of systems of linear equations in three variables to the number of solutions of those systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/3x3-linear-systems-of-equations
10% Rule
This lesson involves investigating the differences between the standard deviations of sampling distributions of means for samples taken from finite populations with and without replacement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/10-rule_1
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
