Stretching Slinkies
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to explore the TI-84 graphing calculator in conjunction with Microsoft Excel®. Students will use the "Stretching Slinkies" worksheet to record and enter data. They will either: enter data into Microsoft Excel to synch with the TI-84, OR, enter da...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-slinkies
Midpoints in the Coordinate Plane
Beginning with horizontal or vertical segments, students show the coordinates of the endpoints and make a conjecture about the coordinates of the midpoint.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midpoints-in-the-coordinate-plane_1
Plinko - Frequency Plots and Experimental Probability
In this activity, students simulate the Plinko game from the TV show "The Price Is Right", then use Navigator to share their results for the class. A frequency plot of class results is constructed, and conjectures made as to the experimental probability of winning the big money in this game. Th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/plinko--frequency-plots-and-experimental-probability
Angles Formed By Parallel Lines
Students will use Cabri Jr. to construct parallel lines and transversals. They will make conjectures about the angles that are formed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-formed-by-parallel-lines
Triangle Inequality
In this activity the students will use Cabri Jr. to investigate the Triangle Inequality Theorm and make conjectures about their findings.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequality
Transformational Puppet
This activity is designed to reinforce the concepts of reflections and translations by having the students create a virtual puppet using Cabri Jr. As they construct their puppets, students will reinforce their understanding of reflections and translations by making predictions about the location...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformational-puppet_1
Interpreting Confidence Intervals
This activity is used in conjuntion with the famous M&M's experiment for introducing confidence intervals in AP Statistics. Navigator is used to allow each student to contribute the endpoints of a CI obtained from their own sample of M&M's. Quick polls are used to questions student confidence i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interpreting-confidence-intervals
Incenter of a Triangle
In this activity, students observe a special characteristic of the bisectors of the angles in a triangle. They test their conjecture by changing the size and shape of the triangle. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/incenter-of-a-triangle
Copying an Angle
Explore relationships (including congruence and similarity) among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them.

Distance - Time Graphs
CBR™ and Graphing Calculators allow a conceptual understanding of distance-time graphs.Created in conjunction with California State University Bakersfield Professor Dr. P. Michael Lutz through funds provided by the California Mathematics Project.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/distance--time-graphs
Get Your Numbers in Shape (TI-83/84 Family)
Students produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. Students also find the Y-value of a function if the X-value is provided, and vice versa.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-your-numbers-in-shape-ti8384-family
Exploring The Golden Arches
Using given nutritional information of popular items from McDonald's, the students will develop and test a conjecture based on the given information. The students will analyze the two-variable data using the graphics calculator by creating a scatter plot and regression equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-golden-arches
Investigating the Derivatives of Some Common Functions
In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points. They develop the idea of the derivative as a function. They gather evidence toward some common derivative for...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-derivatives-of-some-common-functions
Here's Looking At Euclid
Students first use the familiar prime factorization method to calculate the GCD and LCM of two numbers. Second, they apply Euclid’s algorithm, an iterative process for finding the GCD, in conjunction with a formula for the LCM given the GCD. In order to use the algorithm, they must first grasp th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid
Interior & Exterior Angles of a Triangle
In this activity, students will measure interior and exterior angles of a triangle and make conjectures about their relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interior--exterior-angles-of-a-triangle
Fibonacci Fun
Students will explore a variety of middle level content as they examine Fibonacci connections to divisibility and to the golden ratio. They will discover interesting Fibonacci properties and use basic algebraic properties and symbols to prove conjectures about those properties.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fibonacci-fun
Vertical and Adjacent Angles
In this introductory or review activity, students will explore vertical and adjacent angles. They will define and identify pairs of angles. Then they will change the intersecting lines of a geometric model to make conjectures about the relationships of the pairs of angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-adjacent-angles_1
