Graphing Systems at the Races
This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm. The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-systems-at-the-races

Surface Area of a Cylinder
Students define right and oblique three dimensional figures and calculate the volume for prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/surface-area-of-a-cylinder
Test for Parallelograms
Test for Parallelogramshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/test-for-parallelograms
Translations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are translated in the coordinate plane. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/translations-in-the-coordinate-plane
Quick Stats with Quick Poll
It's so simple. Since Quick Poll gives a bar graph when a poll is taken, the teacher can use these graphs to do all kinds of neat statistical manipulations with the students.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quick-stats-with-quick-poll
Measuring Angles
This activity will introduce and/or reinforce estimating the measurements of angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measuring-angles
Transformations with Cabri Jr.
In this activity, get instructions on how to perform transformations using the Cabri Jr. Application on the TI-84 Plus.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-with-cabri-jr
The Amazing Race: Algebra Edition
This is a full lesson, and the guided practice section utilizes the Navigator system. The independent practice is the game The Amazing Race (explained in the PDF).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-amazing-race--algebra-edition
Transformations With Lists
Students use list operations to perform reflections, rotations, translations and dilations on a figure, and graph the resulting image using a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-with-lists
Solving Equations with Solve It
This activity will provide an opportunity for students to review solving equations on an application and still get credit for it.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-equations-with-solve-it
Midsegments of Triangles
Students explore the properties of the midsegment, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midsegments-of-triangles
Are you interested in my dream car?
Students use the computer and finance application to calculate interest and payments associated in purchasing their "Dream Car".https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-you-interested-in-my-dream-car
Exploing relatioship between radius, area, and circumference of a circle
Visually explore relationships in area and circumferencehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploing-relatioship-between-radius-area-and-circumference-of-a-circle
Exterior & Remote Interior Angles
Students investigate an exterior angle and its two remote interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exterior--remote-interior-angles_1
Using the Distance Formula to find Trapezoidal Area
This activity can be used as a formative assessment review of algebra and coordinate geometryhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-distance-formula-to-find-trapezoidal-area
Is an equilateral triangle a special case of isosceles?
The definition of isosceles triangle can determine whether an equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for which definition makes the most sense. Along the way, they get experience with a perpendicular bisector, me...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-an-equilateral-triangle-a-special-case-of-isosceles
Is a square a special case of rectangle?
The definition of square can determine whether it is a special case of a rectangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for why its definition makes sense. Along the way, they get experience with perpendiculars, parallels, measuring lengths, and an informal look at the inte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-a-square-a-special-case-of-rectangle
Triangle Sides & Angles
Students will explore side and angle relationships in a triangle. First, students will discover where the longest (and shortest) side is located relative to the largest (and smallest) angle. Then, students will explore the Isosceles Triangle Theorem and its converse. Finally, students will determ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-sides--angles_1
