Students will measure the circumference of their fist and list their shoe size. The lists will be loaded using TI-Navigator™ in the activity center.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-there-a-relationship-between-your-fist-and-shoe-size
Linear Equations Given Two Points
Given two points, the students will submit linear equations that pass through the points, using the TI-Navigator™ system. The teacher can evaluate student answers as they are submitted. The Activity can be paused at any point for the teacher to discuss the various equations that are submitted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-equations-given-two-points
Math TODAY - Home Sales Records
This activity will help students think about the monthly cost to pay back a home loan, how the length of time of the loan and the rate of interest affect monthly payments, and the total cost paid for the house over the length of time for the loan.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today--home-sales-records
Linear Regression
Each set of 32 reproducible masters teaches appropriate keystroking and ample practice for each topic in mathematics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression
Parametric Equations
We express most graphs as a single equation which involves two variables, x and y. By using parametric mode on the calculator you may use three variables to represent a curve. The third variable is t, time. (Topics - parametric functions)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations
