What Is My Rule?
This activity encourages students to gain experience with the language of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each of the problems shows two points, z and w. Point z can be dragged, and point w moves in response. In describing the rule that governs the location of point w, students will most likely ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-my-rule
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
Conditional Statements
In this activity, students construct examples of conditional statements such as parallel and perpendicular lines. After completing the conditional statement, they will write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive and determine if each is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-statements
Midpoint Quadrilateral
This problem presents an opportunity for students to think about properties of quadrilaterals, and also to work on confirming observations through geometric reasoning.

Accelerated Returns
Students compare periodic and continuous compounding and apply continuous compounding to a variety of problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/accelerated-returns
It's a Parallelogram, You Say?
Students represent complex numbers in the complex plane as points or vectors and display the sum and difference of two complex numbers as diagonals of the parallelograms they define.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-a-parallelogram-you-say
Alternating Series
Students will use the capabilities of their handhelds to find limits and compare two series to determine if the alternating series converges or diverges. Then students will approximate the sum of an alternating series by using a table to find partial sums and using the Alternating Series Remainde...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/alternating-series_1
Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Common Denominators
This activity uses interactive number lines to investigate addition and subtraction of fractions that refer to the same whole, with like denominators.
