The Dirty Dawg Salon
In this activity, students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs. They will translate fixed and variable costs to a cost function and make a decision about how much to charge to wash per dog. When the break-even point is found, students must interpret it to ans...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-dirty-dawg-salon
Slopes with Starburst
Students will use Starburst to conduct an experiment that analyzes slope. The data will be entered into TI-Nspire and evaluated. Students explore concepts such as flat/steeper slopes and constant versus varied slope. Students also simulate distance versus time graphs using meter sticks and hot...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slopes-with-starburst
Sums of Sequences
In this activity, students will develop formulas for the sum of arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students will then find the sum of sequences using the formulas developed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sums-of-sequences_1
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.
