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
Exploring the Parabola
Students explore the key features of the parabola, both geometrically and algebraically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-parabola
Reduce It!
Students write augmented matrices for systems of equations and then solve the system by writing the augmented matrix in reduced row-echelon form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reduce-it
How Many? (Precalculus)
Students will be presented a situation in which they must use linear programming to determine the optimum production level to maximize profits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-precalculus
Discriminating Against the Zero
Students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero_84
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
Conics In Winter
Students explore conic graphing using a polar notation equation and determine the effects the various variables on the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-winter
Quadratic Connections
Students will investigate how the parameters a, b, and c for the function f(x) = ax^2+bx+c change its graph. In addition, first and second differences and their relationships to the values of a, b, and c are explored.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-connections
Application of Area Formulas
Students will be able to find the area of polygons by breaking a polygon into familiar shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-area-formulas
Integers: Integer Builder
Drag positive and negative unit squares onto the stage and build integer additions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/integers-integer-builder
Similar Shapes
Students will explore properties of similar figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/similar-shapes

An ounce of prevention
Students will collect measures off of containers for the volume in both milliliters and ounces. They will set up a plot to determine the relationship between the two measures. Students will predict values for volumes in one unit, given the other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-ounce-of-prevention
Fraction Multiplication
This activity uses interactive unit squares to explore the concept of fraction multiplication. The concept of fraction multiplication is developed by considering the area of a unit square that has been partitioned into rectangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fraction-multiplication
Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
This activity uses unit squares to help students investigate addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-fractions-unlike-denom
Dividing a Fraction by a Fraction
This activity uses number lines along with equivalent fractions to help students develop a method for dividing fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-fraction-by-a-fraction
Fractions as Division
In this activity students explore the division of two whole numbers by a fraction. It is important for students to recognize that this concept shows two different ways to think about the same fraction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-as-division
Dividing a Whole Number by a Fraction
This activity uses unit squares to illustrate the division of a whole number by a unit fraction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-whole-number-by-fraction
Dividing a Fraction by a Whole Number
This activity uses a unit square to explore division of a unit fraction and a fraction in general by a whole number.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-fraction-by-whole
Comparing Units
This activity builds students’ awareness of the role played by a unit’s scale or size when working with fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-units
Multiplying Fractions by a Whole Number
This activity uses a number line to develop multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. It builds on the earlier concept that the product of two whole numbers r and s is r sets, each containing s elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiplying-fractions-by-a-whole-number
Mixed Numbers
This activity uses interactive number lines to help students investigate mixed numbers as a way to write improper fractions. Division of a whole number by a smaller whole number results in an improper fraction that can be written as a mixed number. Mixed numbers can be used to find the magnitude ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mixed-numbers
Units Other than Unit Squares
This activity uses an area model to examine differences in the size of unit squares. Student investigation of the model leads to the understanding that fractions make sense only in reference to a particular scale or unit. Students consider how one half of a unit square can represent different are...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/units-other-than-unit-squares
