Helping Hands
Students make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students relate each finger sign to its number name and numeral. They use the numeral keys and scrolling feature of the TI-10 to enhance the concrete-symbol connection and sequencing of numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-hands
Food for Thought
Students learn to count in tens up to 100. They also learn to build 2-digit numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/food-for-thought
Data Analysis and Probability
Students explore the basics in data analysis and probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-and-probability
Names for One-Half
Students use their understanding of integers, fractions, decimals, and operations to find mathematical expressions that equal one-half.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/names-for-onehalf
Cereal Numbers
Students build numbers from zero to ten with cereal and connect the number name and numeral. Students also explore number sentences for numbers up to ten.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cereal-numbers
Calculator Pattern Pizzles
This lesson will allow young children to explore number patterns and relationships while introducing the calculator at the same time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculator-pattern-pizzles
Analyzing Number Cube Sums
Students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not necessarily equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-number-cube-sums
Action-Packed Stories
Students learn to use whole numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction. They choose a number and create a story using the number selected and illustrate the number story. They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
How do You Measure Up? (with the TI-10)
Students measure weight, height, and length with the help of a balance, scales, rulers, yardstick, and tape measures. They use their TI-10 to find proportions and to round off answers to whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-you-measure-up-with-the-ti10
Mean As a Fair Share
This lesson introduces students to mean as a way to describe the center of a set of data. Often called the average, the mean can also be visualized as “leveling out” the data in the sense of “fair share”.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-fair-share-bc
Mean As A Balance Point
In this lesson, students calculate deviations from the mean, how far each value is above or below the mean. Students also focus on the balance point of a distribution, where the sum of the absolute deviations below the mean is equal to the sum of the absolute deviations above the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-balance-point-bc
The Normal Distribution
Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-normal-distribution_1
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
Graphical Displays of Univariate Data
Students will sort data and construct stemplots, dotplots, histrograms, and frequency plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphical-displays-of-univariate-data
Sampling Distributions
Students studies the distribution of sample proportions with a simulation. They find small sample size leads to skewed distribution and as the sample size increases, the distribution becomes more normal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling-distributions
Surface Area of Cylinder Song
Here's a silly song that I use with my classes to help them remember how to find the surface area of cylinders. My students actually suggested that I submit this!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/surface-area-of-cylinder-song
Banquet Meal
Students use proportional reasoning skills to increase a family-size recipe to a banquet-size recipe.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/banquet-meal
Golden Rectangles
Students measure rectangles and calculate ratio between the sides. They compare the ratio to the Golden Ratio (1.618).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/golden-rectangles
Thrift Store Markdowns
Students will calculate a series of discounts using increasing unit fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/thrift-store-markdowns
Match the graph
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to reflect points from a graph across the axes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph
Conics in Geometry
This lesson has students construct 3 conic sections through geometric definitions. Using the CABRI™ Geometry II application for the TI-89, students construct a parabola, an ellipse, and a hyperbola. (Topics - geometric shapes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-geometry
Making Cookies
Students will reduce a cafeteria recipe to suit a household recipe. They use compatible numbers to choose smaller measurements while retaining the original proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-cookies
Building Expressions
In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expres...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-expressions-bc
