Discrimination of Parabolas
Students manipulate progressively more flexible parabolas whilst a ‘special number’ is displayed on the screen. The problem for students to solve is ‘what is so special about this number’. Students continually review their conjectures as the parabola becomes more and more flexible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discrimination-of-parabolas

Manipulating Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis may very well be the most important biochemical process in the living world. OK, it IS the most important biochemical process in the living world! In this activity, see how manipulating the amount of light and carbon dioxide can change the photosynthetic production of a plant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-photosynthesis
Modeling Genetic Crosses
Using the random integer generator and the graphing capability of TI-Nspire, several types of Mendelian Genetic crosses are simulated in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-genetic-crosses
How dense are we
In this activity students use scientific notation to compare populations, state land areas and the corresponding population density.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-dense-are-we
The Fibonacci Sequence
One of the simplest and beautiful mathematical sequences. The simplicity: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... is such that each term is the sum of the previous two terms. Examples of the sequence can be found in nature, architecture and number theory. In this investigation, students explore some of the patterns...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-fibonacci-sequence
Skills of Science - Doing Unit Conversions
In this lesson, students will be introduced to doing unit conversions with TI-Nspire.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--doing-unit-conversions
Geometric Sequences and Series
Imagine you just arrived home from school, you’re really hungry. You decide the block of chocolate will help you with your homework. Pretty soon half the block is gone, so you quickly put it back in the refrigerator. Your brother arrives home, spots the half eaten block of chocolate and imm...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences-and-series
Skills of Science - Celsius to Fahrenheit
In this lesson, students gathering temperature data simultaneously with two probes -- one measuring Fahrenheit and the other Celsius.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/skills-of-science--celsius-to-fahrenheit
Tower of Hanoi
Students explore the relationship between the number of discs and moves required to solve the classic “Tower of Hanoi” problem. The TI-Nspire file contains an interactive model produced by Andy Kemp. The interactive model allows you to change the number of disks and automaticall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tower-of-hanoi
Vectors In Component Form
Students experiment with an interactive 2 dimensional vector and observe the corresponding changes to its representation in i and j component form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-in-component-form
Pendulum Swing – Part 1
Students use a motion detector (CBR) and pendulum (fishing float) to collect data for the motion of a pendulum. The quality of the data never ceases to amaze students and teachers. Students align practical knowledge, logic and familiarity with the various parameters to transform a basic trigono...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pendulum-swing--part-1
Gradient of a function
This activity introduces the notion of the gradient of a curve. Initial exploration involves a dynamic tangent where students can use prior knowledge of the gradient of a straight line to determine if the slope is negative, zero or positive. The second stage of the activity goes one step further ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/gradient-of-a-function
Vectors Introduction
An introduction to vectors visually, conceptually and numerically. Students manipulate vectors to show addition (head to tail) and the parallelogram rule. Students use a column matrix to represent a vector and explore scalar multiples and the magnitude of a vector.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-introduction

Vernier - Boyle's law
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1). When the volume of the syringe is changed by moving the pist...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--boyles-law
