Divisibility Rules Using Scientific Calculators
Concepts and skills covered in this activity include number theory, divisibility rules, multiples, factors, and problem-solving skills.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/divisibility-rules-using-scientific-calculators
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks_1
The Antics of Statistics
Students learn/review some of the different measures of statistics and see how to use those measures to analyze a data set. Students also participate in a discussion about how statistics can be used to achieve a variety of results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-antics-of-statistics_1
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in inches. They will convert inches to feet, and they will interpret the calculator results to express the estimated heights in feet and inches. Finally, they will graph the estimated heights and actual heights of the celebrities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man_1
Circumference and Area of a Circle
Students explore how to derive pi (∏) as a ratio. Students also study the circumference and area of a circle using formulas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circumference-and-area-of-a-circle
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
Can Pythagoras Swim?
Students will investigate relationships between sides of right triangles to understand the Pythagorean theorem and then use it to solve problems. Students will simplify expressions using radicals and exponents in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-pythagoras-swim_1
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
Domain, Range and Function Mapping
Students explore the concept of domain, range and function mapping through a variety of visual representations. Interactive sets, ordered pairs and graphs provide for opportunities for students to explore, the idea is then flipped as students build a function to match the domain and range supplied.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/domain-range-and-function-mapping
