Polygon Area
Students will compare areas of different polygons with a fixed perimeter and find the shape that gives the maximum areahttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polygon-area
Measure Up
Students compare their height with the average height of students in the classroom. They create histograms to analyze the data, and construct boxplots to summarize the height statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up_1
Measure Up!
In this activity, students' create a plot showing the heights of some of their classmates. They determine the extreme values and the median for the height data and construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the height statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up
Square it Up!
Students investigate the method of least squares by finding the residuals and the sum of the squares of the residuals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-it-up_1
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Mind Games" - Thumbs Up!
In "Mind Games," the FBI hires a psychic to help them solve a series of murders. To test how good he is, they show him the backs of a set of 25 playing cards and ask him to predict whether each is red or black. He gets every single one wrong. In this activity, students conduct an experiment and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--mind-games--thumbs-up
How Do You Measure Up?
In this activity, students graph scatter plots to investigate possible relationships between two quantitative variables. They collect data and analyze several sets of data pairing the two quantities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-you-measure-up
The Letter Product Game
This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-letter-product-game
Parabolic Applications
Students will analyze a parabola graphed from word problems. Students will use the calculator to find the roots and vertex of the graph to answer questions based on the word problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parabolic-applications
Investigating the Parabola in Vertex Form (y = ax2 + bx + c)
In this activity, students investigate the standard form of the quadratic function, y = ax2 + bx + c. They investigate the changes on the graph of a quadratic equation that result from changes in A, B, and C. They also locate the vertex of a parabola when its quadratic equation is expressed in st...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-parabola-in-vertex-form-y--axsup2sup--bx--c
St. Louis Curves or Arch? You Pick!
Students explore curve fitting and translations of the parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/st--louis-curves-or-arch-you-pick
How Fast Is Your Racer
Students become familiar with collecting and analyzing linear data. Students first perform a manually linear fit to their collected data, and are then introduced to the linear regression analysis capabilities of the calculator. The time taken for mousetrap racers to cover predetermined distances ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-fast-is-your-racer
Do You Have a Temperature? - TI-83
In this activity, students represent and analyze climate data. They use linear regressions to understand the relationship between temperatures measured in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and examine conversion factors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/do-you-have-a-temperature--ti83
Fill up the tank!
Demonstrate the concept of slope and y-intercept in the slope-intercept form of linear equation using water and marbles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fill-up-the-tank
Box It Up
Students take a numerical and tabular look at finding the maximum value of an open box constructed by folding a rectangular sheet of material with cutout square corners. They also understand the concepts of independent and dependent variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up
Box It Up (A Graphical Look)
Students graph the relationship between the length of the sides of the cut-out squares and the volume of the resulting box. They trace the graph to decide the best square-size which can result in a box of maximum volume.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up-a-graphical-look
Breaking Spaghetti
Students will do a lab where they keep track of the number of strands of spaghetti versus how many "weights" it takes to break the spaghetti. They will enter lists and create a scatter plot. Students will also find the equation for the line of best fit. The TI-Navigator System can then be used...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-spaghetti
Breaking Up Over Model Bridges
The learning objective of this activity is to introduce the concept of reciprocal functions having the form: xy = k or y = f(x) = k/x, where k is a constant and x and y are variables. In Part I, twelve one inch paper squares arranged in various rectangles illustrate that length x width = 12 sq...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-up-over-model-bridges
Using TRNSFRM APP
This activity introduces the use of TRNSFRM APP and the effect of A and B in AX + B as well as discovering Amplitude, Period and Vertical shift of sinusoids with the aid of a slinky!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-trnsfrm-app
Defining the Parabola
The teacher will graph a horizontal line and plot a point using TI-Navigator™, and the class will provide the points that create a parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/defining-the-parabola
What's Up?
Concepts and skills covered in this activity include writing keystroke sequences for formulas and converting between temperature scales.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-up
What Goes Up Must Come Down
