Estimating Square Roots
In this activity, students develop an understanding of the relationship between a number and its square root. They will first recognize perfect squares and order them from least to greatest with other numbers. Then students will estimate the square root of a number using perfect squares.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-square-roots
Drawing Conclusions
This activity introduces students to the concept of collecting and analyzing data and using conjectures to formulate new questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/drawing-conclusions
Comparing Area of Rectangles
In this activity, students discover the relationship between a change in the dimensions of a rectangle and the change in the corresponding area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-areas-of-rectangles
Algebra vocabulary terms
This StudyCards™ activity includes the definitions for 15 algebra terms for which the students need to identify the correct vocabulary term.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/algebra-vocabulary-terms
A Move in the Right Direction
Students physically provide motion data that is collected by a CBL™ and then graph the data. They determine if they "moved in the right directions" by comparing their graph with those printed in the activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-move-in-the-right-direction
Are There Any Seats Left
This activity allows students to use a simulation to understand why airline companies routinely overbook flights.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-there-any-seats-left

Changing Before My Eyes
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/changing-before-my-eyes
Exploring Platonic Solids
This activity is best at the very beginning of a unit on solids. Students will observe Platonic solids using an interactive website (from the NLVM) projected to the whole class. Students will predict the number of edges, vertices, and faces of the five solids and record their predictions on a Lea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-platonic-solids
Calculating Unit Prices
In this activity, students will compare ratios with different denominators, and then with common denominators. They will also find unit rates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-unit-prices
Handy Reflections
The purpose of this investigation is to: Revise plotting points on the Cartesian plane Use and understand aspect ratios Improve estimation skills Use a spreadsheet or a graphing calculator to draw a graph Learn how to reflect lines and points in the x & y axis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/handy-reflections
Calculating Sale Prices
In this activity, students will find discounts and sale prices for items selling at 20% off and 40% off by using tables. They will then find the general rules, using a variable, for finding those discounts and prices.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-sale-prices
Breathtaking Scatter Plots
In this activity, students will gather data by recording estimates of how long they think they can hold their breath and the actual amount of time. Then, they will create scatter plots and box plots to analyze the data. [All recordings taken on dry land]https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breathtaking-scatter-plots
