...en (if it knows a given piece of information) or red (if it does not). A red square learns this information (becomes green) if at least two of its neighbors (sharing an edge) already knows it. For example, in this situation the bottom middle square becomes green: On a 10 X 10 grid, what is t...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2018/september/challenge
5 Engineering Projects You Can Do in Your Science Class

Calculus + Graphing Calculator = More Teachable Moments
...eir chairs, but the new gadgets had at least aroused some mild curiosity. I noticed one of them suddenly sitting up straight and leaning over to a neighbor pointing to the calculator screen. I was close enough to hear what was said: “My graph has a hole in it — does yours?” The hair stood up on t...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2019/september/calculascalcs

Pebbling the Chessboard
It’s amazing how often sequences and series pop up in problem solving. In this deceptively challenging problem three discs are placed on a chessboard in a bounded region. The task is to move the pieces out of this region with the only complication being that pieces double when moved. After you’ve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pebbling-the-chessboard
Phoenix Chase
In this activity, students will design their own track and investigate the expected speeds and g-forces for the design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/phoenix-chase
100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition and subtraction. They use estimation, a place value chart, and a calculator to place seven randomly generated numbers in the ones and tens position in a place-value chart to make a sum as close to 100 as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/100-or-bust
Symmetry with Pattern Blocks
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a design that has a line of symmetry. They use the calculator to determine the value of half the design. They predict and then find the value of the entire design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetry-with-pattern-blocks
