Keeping up with Trash
Students use scientific notation in finding answers to real-life problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/keeping-up-with-trash
Stuff It!
Students learn to calculate volume of a sphere and a rectangular prism. They explore methods of determining how many volleyballs can be placed in a room.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stuff-it
Magic Nines
Students compute multiples of 9, 99, 999, and so forth, search for patterns in the products, and write generalizations of those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/magic-nines
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 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
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros_1
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
What’s Half of a Half of a Half?
Students will use a physical model to determine what happens when they repeatedly halve a piece of paper, and then they reassemble the pieces into a whole. They then use an algebraic model to analyze the same situation, which leads to an introductory discussion of limits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-half-of-a-half-of-a-half
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan
What Makes a Food Nutritional?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritional
The First Twelve Days of School
Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-first-twelve-days-of-school
Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/will-girls-and-boys-be-equal
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways
3x3 Linear Systems of Equations
This lesson involves connecting graphical representations of systems of linear equations in three variables to the number of solutions of those systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/3x3-linear-systems-of-equations
It's To Be Expected - 84
Students use a tree diagram to find theoretical probabilities and use this information with lists to find the expected value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-to-be-expected
