Characteristics of Exponential Functions
Investigate how the graph of an exponential function changes when 0 b b = 1, or b > 1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/characteristics-of-exponential-functions
Exploring Diagonals of Quadrilaterals
Investigate characteristics of diagonals of various quadrilaterals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-diagonals-of-quadrilaterals
Chords and Circles
Students will begin this activity by exploring how the chord in a circle is related to its perpendicular bisector. Investigation will include measuring lengths and distances from the center of the circle. These measurements will then be transferred to a graph to see the locus of the intersection ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chords-and-circles
Circle Geometry: Central Angles and Inscribed Angles
The activity is designed to teach students the rules attributed to central angles and their intercepted arc and incsribed angles and their intercepted arc.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-geometry-central-angles-and-inscribed-angles
Reflections and Rotations
Students will reflect figures over the x- and y-axes. By studying what happens to the coordinates of the pre-image and image points, they will write rules for reflecting points over the axes. Students will then rotate figures about the origin, in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Ag...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-and-rotations
Special Right Triangles
Examine two types of special right triangles and determine the predictable relationships between the lengths of their legs and hypotenuse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-right-triangles
Sum of Exterior Angles of Polygons
Investigate interior angles of polygons and the sum of their measures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sum-of-exterior-angles-of-polygons
Analyzing Country Data
In this activity, students will examine sample ages from three countries displayed in a spreadsheet and in relative frequency histograms that highlight the distinctive features of the distribution of the ages from each sample.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-country-data
Does a Correlation Exist?
In this activity, students will determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient. Then, they will find the linear regression equation and calculate the correlation coefficient. They will use this line to predict the value of y for a given x and vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/does-a-correlation-exist
Polarization of Light
Students use data collected during a lab to explore the relationship between polarized light and light intensity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polarization-of-light
Graphs of Antiderivatives
Students use their TI-Nspire to graph the anti-derivative of a function and investigate aspects of the this function and how it relates to the primitive function. For example, if a continuous derivative function changes from negative to positive, what does this produce on the primi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-antiderivatives
Light Refraction
In this lesson, students visually explores refraction of light as it passes through different substances with different indexes of light.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-refraction
Vernier - Reaction Stoichiometry
In this lesson, students use a temperature probe to investigate an acid-base reaction in order to write balanced chemical equations and determine mole ratios.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--reaction-stoichiometry
Bending Light
In this activity, students explore the refraction of a single light ray. They begin by exploring light traveling from a less dense medium into a denser medium. They use a numerical approach to establish a relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. Then, students expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bending-light
Colligative Properties
Investigate the freezing point depression due to different concentration of solute.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/colligative-properties
Conductivity of Solutions
