Best Class
Students will 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/best-class
Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are rotated in the coordinate plane by 90 or 180 degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rotations-in-the-coordinate-plane
Relationship Between Radius and Tangent to a Circle
Generalize that a tangent and a radius form a 90-degree angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/relationship-between-radius-and-tangent-to-a-circle
Sail Problem (Parallel Lines & Segment Relationships)
In this activity, students will explore the proportional relationships involved in multiple parallel lines being cut by transversals. These relationships are approached through exploration of a sail design problem, where students are to find the lengths of pieces of fabric along the edge of a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sail-problem-parallel-lines--segment-relationships
SAS Triangle Congruence
Students will: 1.Construct a triangle and measure one pair of sides and the contained angle 2.Construct a second triangle with corresponding sides equal in length and congruent corresponding angles 3.Try to alter the properties of their construction by moving the verticeshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sas-triangle-congruence
Pythagorean Proofs
In this activity, students will explore proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will explore the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem using area of squares, area of triangles and trapezoids, and by dissection. Students will then be asked to apply what they have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pythagorean-proofs

Parallel Lines
This lesson allows students to explore what parallel lines are and how the equations for parallel lines relate to each other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines
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
Tri This!
Students investigate linear equations that form a triangle and determine which vertex is a solution to a system of equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tri-this
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
"You're Hired!"
This activity will use linear programming and the Inequalz apps on the TI-84+ calculator to solve real world problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-hired
Zooooooom!
This activity uses times collected for a radio control car traveling certain distances to create a regression line to analyze and discuss as a class. If the car(s) cannot be obtained, you can use students to run the distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zooooooom
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
