Parallel Lines
This lesson allows students to explore what parallel lines are and how the equations for parallel lines relate to each other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines
Arrow- An Activiaty for Plotting Points
Students are given points to plot in activity center. The points will form an arrow. The teacher can then direct students to change the coordinates to translate the picture. Students practice plotting points, integer operations, and see transformations in one activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arrow-an-activiaty-for-plotting-points
Pumpkin Graph - An Activity for Plotting Points
Students are given 3 - 4 points to plot in activity center. Students practice plotting points an can review the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pumpkin-graph--an-activity-for-plotting-points
How Many States Have You Visited?
This is a beginner activity for students using the TI-84. Students will collect data from the class and create a Box & Whisker plot based on how many States students have visited. This is easy for the teacher to learn, and steps are relatively easy for students that are new to using 'stat plots...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-states-have-you-visited
Intercepts, Zeros, Roots, Factors, & Solutions
During the activity, students will use the CALCULATE functions, POLYSMLT, and the graphing capabilities of their grapher to analyze the relationship between, x-intercepts, zeros, roots, factors, and solutions of polynomial functions/equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intercepts-zeros-roots-factors--solutions
Properties of Parallelograms
Students will use Cabri Jr. to construct a parallelogram. They discover three properties of parallelograms in this activity: opposite sides are congruent, opposites angles are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_6
Exponential Growth Experiment
Students will work in pairs and will conduct a growth experiment. They will record their answers for 7 to 10 trials. They will make a scatterplot of their data and share their graphs with the class.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth-experiment
Working with Point Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
Using Cabri Jr. and the properties of rotations to get a true understanding of how a figure is rotated about a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/working-with-point-rotations-in-the-coordinate-plane
Angle Sum in Triangles Proof using Rotation and a Parallel Line
This investigation uses Cabri Jr. and a cleaver rotation of a triangle to "prove" that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-sum-in-triangles-proof-using-rotation-and-a-parallel-line
Right Triangle Vocabulary
Using Activity Center, students will "march" to the appropriate triangle segment. This activity allows the entire class to demonstrate understanding of vocabulary words necessary to start right trianlge trigonometry: opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse side. This activity is a good cl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/right-triangle-vocabulary
"Snail Mail" Postal Rate History
This is a listing of the First Class Postal Rates for students to create a scatter plot and appropriate model. It generates good discussion as to which data is appropriate which changes models from exponential to linear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/snail-mail-postal-rate-history
Run Me a Hypothesis Test
This activity is designed to give students' practice in determining which type of test to run given certain background information. Additionally, it provides practice towards understanding the meaning of rejecting or failing to reject a null hypothesis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/run-me-a-hypothesis-test
Survey Project
Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/survey-project
Car Sales
In this activity, students' will create a box and whisker plot using a list. The list will be sent using TI-Navigator™ and contains the number of car sales since 1970. They will determine the values in the box plot and answer some additional questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/car-sales
Binomial Simulation Lab - Using ProbSim App
Binomial simulation using TI-83+ or TI-84+ graphing calculators. Students will use the Probability Simulation application on the calculator to simulate Eric Gordon shooting free throws. TI-Navigator™ instructions are also included.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-simulation-lab--using-probsim-app
Discovering Pi
Students will measure the circumference and diameter of round objects. They will send in their measurements through TI-Navigator™ and discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter. Students will note why all points do not lie exactly on the line y=PIx. Then students will use ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discovering-pi
Measures of Central Tendency Activity: Height of the Class
The purpose of this lesson is to have students create a box and whiskers plot from collecting class data of each person's height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measures-of-central-tendency-activity-height-of-the-class
