Shall I Double Up or Take the Million? Exponential Growth
If you were given the opportunity to be given a permanent monthly salary of 1,000,000 for 30 days of work or a salary beginning with a penny on day one and doubling each day for 30 days which would you choose?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shall-i-double-up-or-take-the-million-exponential-growth
Points on a Line
The Points on a Line activity is intended to develop student understanding of slope of a line. This activity is based on the concept of vertical change and horizontal change when moving between two points on a line. Students will perform an action on the TNS file and observe the consequences of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-line
The Triangular Box Problem (and Extension)
Student will discover the relationship between the height of a box with a triangular base and its volume and student will find the height that will produce the maximum volume of the open-topped box.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-triangular-box-problem-and-extension
Applications of Parabolas
In this activity, students will look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships. Two applications are introduced after some basic patterns in the first two problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas_1
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Beat the System
This can be used as an introduction to Systems of Equations. Students can work in groups or alone. They are shown graphs of the three different types of systems of equations and then asked to write equations of lines to create another set of systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beat-the-system
Pi Song - Little Help
Solving literal equations with Pi. In this activity, students will explore formulae that have Pi in it. Animations and multiple choice, self-check questions, make this activity accessible to Algebra students. The equations make this activity of interest to geometry and physics classes for a short...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pi-song--little-help
Families of Rectangles
Students create a family of similar rectangles and then write the equation of the curve that will connect the upper-right vertex of each rectangle. Students will then create a family of rectangles that have the same area and will write the equation of the curve that connects the upper-right verti...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-rectangles
The "Great Pyramid" - Rate of Change
Students will explore different rates of change. Using the TI-Nspire students will be expected to make predictions based upon information that a Pharaoh has given. Students will explore points in a scatter plot of time and height on the building of a pyramid in ancient times. They will calcula...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-great-pyramid--rate-of-change
Slope, Midpoint and Distance
The student will interact with a line segment and will report various conditions on a handout. Positive, negative slope, distance, and midpoints will dynamically calculate as the student drags either endpoint around.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-midpoint-and-distance
Vertex form of a Parabola
Students will use graphing technology to understand a quadratic function written in vertex form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taks-vertex-form-of-a-parabola
