The Fibonacci Sequence
One of the simplest and beautiful mathematical sequences. The simplicity: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... is such that each term is the sum of the previous two terms. Examples of the sequence can be found in nature, architecture and number theory. In this investigation, students explore some of the patterns...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-fibonacci-sequence

Geometric Sequences and Series
Imagine you just arrived home from school, you’re really hungry. You decide the block of chocolate will help you with your homework. Pretty soon half the block is gone, so you quickly put it back in the refrigerator. Your brother arrives home, spots the half eaten block of chocolate and imm...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences-and-series
Vernier - Cell Respiration
In this lesson, students will use a CO2 sensor to explore cell respiration, and determine the affect of temperature on the rate of cell respiration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--cell-respiration
Tower of Hanoi
Students explore the relationship between the number of discs and moves required to solve the classic “Tower of Hanoi” problem. The TI-Nspire file contains an interactive model produced by Andy Kemp. The interactive model allows you to change the number of disks and automaticall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tower-of-hanoi
Vectors In Component Form
Students experiment with an interactive 2 dimensional vector and observe the corresponding changes to its representation in i and j component form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-in-component-form
Vernier - Transpiration
In this lesson, students will use the gas pressure sensor to observe the overall transpiration process in plants.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--transpiration
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Students generate random polynomials and observe the distribution of the zeros on the complex plane. From the distributions students are able to draw conclusions about the zeros, and therefore roots, of a polynomial in order to gain a better visual understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Alge...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fundamental-theorem-of-algebra
Vernier - Lemon Juice
In this lesson, students will study some basic principles of cells using the juice of a lemon as the cell solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--lemon-juice
Vernier - Exploring Magnetism
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between the orientation of the sensor and the strength of the magnetic field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--exploring-magnetism
Tool - Unit Conversion
In this lesson, students are introducted to the basics of how to effectively use this tool. This tool can be used alone, or you can copy/paste it into another TNS document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tool--unit-conversion
Pendulum Swing – Part 1
Students use a motion detector (CBR) and pendulum (fishing float) to collect data for the motion of a pendulum. The quality of the data never ceases to amaze students and teachers. Students align practical knowledge, logic and familiarity with the various parameters to transform a basic trigono...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pendulum-swing--part-1
Like Moths Around a Flame
In this lesson, students examine data about moths and draw conclusions of how the environment impacts their populations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/like-moths-around-a-flame
Terminal Velocity

Award Winning Data
Arguably the most famous awards in the world, but are the Academy Awards® ageist and sexist? The mean age of female winners is 36 compared with males at 44, but Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) won an award at age 81, the oldest award recipient. Katherine Hepburn won an award at age 74. Wha...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/academy-awards
Ecology Assessment
This TI-Nspire™ question set (.tns) has assessment questions relating to Biology: Ecology.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ecology-assessment
Gradient of a function
