Linear Equations Given Two Points
Given two points, the students will submit linear equations that pass through the points, using the TI-Navigator™ system. The teacher can evaluate student answers as they are submitted. The Activity can be paused at any point for the teacher to discuss the various equations that are submitted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-equations-given-two-points
Writing Linear Equations Using Activity Center and Houses!
Students will write linear equations given two points. The two points will be the location of the students' houses. They will partner with someone and try to make an equation that will go through the two houses which are coordinates shown on the activity center background.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/writing-linear-equations-using-activity-center-and-houses

Linear Inequalities
Students are provided a handful of ordered pairs, and determine which are solutions to a given linear inequality. As a class, students plots their points, and work to develop ideas for graphing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-inequalities_1
Linear Pictures in the Activity Center
Students will use their knowledge of linear functions to match real world linear situations. Students will be asked to match equations to linear pictures that are imposed in a coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-pictures-in-the-activity-center
Linear Programming and the Inequalz App
This activity uses the Inequality Graphing Application to take some of the frustration out of linear programming. It allows students to concentrate on the important part of the lesson, so they can learn the basic concepts with greater depth.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-programming-and-the-inequalz-app
y=ax Activity
This activity, inspired by a similar activity in a Texas Instrument guidebook, has served to be very useful in helping students develop concepts of slope and y-intercept.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/yax-activity
Function Notation
This StudyCards™ stack teaches the meaning of the notation f(x). Cards also address finding, for example, f(2) given f(x), and the connection to the point on the graph of f(x). Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 3.1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-notation
Powers, Roots, and Radicals
This LearningCheck™ reviews rational exponents, solving radical equations and evaluating simple rational roots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/powers-roots-and-radicals
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 Much Is That Phone Call?
Students will learn how step functions apply to real-world situations, about the notation associated with the greatest integer and least integer functions, and how to transform the greatest integer function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-much-is-that-phone-call

How Far Will It Go
Students measure and record the total distance traveled by their individual moustrap racers. Using TI-Navigator the individual data is collected and aggregated. The aggregated class data is then sent to the individual student calculcators and students investigate histograms and box plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-will-it-go
Solving Equations by Graphing
This activity uses screen capture to introduce solving linear equations by graphing. Using screen captures save the teacher from having to go from one student to another to make sure the students' are typing the correct information into the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-equations-by-graphing
Graphs of Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form
TI Explorations books has a great activity for TI InterActive!™ in graphing parabolas in vertex form. What if you don't have TI InterActive! or a lab to take your students, but you do have a class set of TI-83 or TI-84. This activity explores the affects of a, h, and k on the function y=a(x - h)...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-quadratic-functions-in-vertex-form
Maximum, minimum, increasing, decreasing
This StudyCards™ set is a teaching activity that uses real-world contexts to assist students in understanding the concepts of maximum, minimum, increasing, and decreasing. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 2.2.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximum-minimum-increasing-decreasing
Helping Students Understand Line of Best Fit
This activity is based on a lesson out of the Key Curriculum Press textbook "Discovering Algebra with Technology." Students use five number summaries to find specific points on the graph which can be used to find the equation for a line of best fit.
