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
An Introduction to Inverse Variation
In this lesson, students will explore the properties of inverse variation functions by analyzing a scatter plot that is produced by the students. This lesson uses the Activity Center in TI-Navigator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-introduction-to-inverse-variation
Algebra II and the TI-83+
This session will examine how the TI-83+ can be used to improve instruction in Algebra II classes. We will look at different objectives from the Algebra II curriculum and examine several ways that calculators can improve student performance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/algebra-ii-and-the-ti83
Scatterplots and Correlation with TI-83
Students learn how to enter a list of data and use these lists to graph two-variable statistics. They learn how to analyze the resulting scatterplots to assess the correlation between two variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/scatterplots-and-correlation-with-ti83
Balloons
This activity is about gathering data to create a scatter plot and then look at a line of best fit. Students will measure the circumference of a blown up balloon and then they will time how long it takes the balloon to deflate. They will enter this information in to their lists and then graph t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balloons
Personal License Plates
Students explore concepts related to the counting principle and exponential notation. They write rules for calculations involving the counting principle and find the total number of possibilities from a set of rules.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/personal-license-plates
Exponent Game
Students compare powers and decide whether to add or subtract values to a cumulative total so that the total stays as close to zero as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponent-game
Remember Me?
Students use the calculator to compute the value of expressions involving order of operations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/remember-me
Let Us Count the Ways!
Students evaluate expressions using permutations and combinations of data elements on the calculator. They solve problems using these counting principles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-us-count-the-ways
Number Power!
Students explore patterns and rules in dealing with exponents and logarithms. They evaluate expressions with exponents and logarithms and display them in various notations. They will use their calculators to discover the power of exponents and their usefulness in the world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-power
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
The Antics of Statistics
Students learn/review some of the different measures of statistics and see how to use those measures to analyze a data set. Students also participate in a discussion about how statistics can be used to achieve a variety of results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-antics-of-statistics_1
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in inches. They will convert inches to feet, and they will interpret the calculator results to express the estimated heights in feet and inches. Finally, they will graph the estimated heights and actual heights of the celebrities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man_1
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros_1
Can Pythagoras Swim?
Students will investigate relationships between sides of right triangles to understand the Pythagorean theorem and then use it to solve problems. Students will simplify expressions using radicals and exponents in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-pythagoras-swim_1
The First Twelve Days of School
Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-first-twelve-days-of-school
