Transforming Fish
In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-fish
Tri This!
Students investigate linear equations that form a triangle and determine which vertex is a solution to a system of equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tri-this
Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios
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
Creating Boxes
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/creating-boxes
"You're Hired!"
This activity will use linear programming and the Inequalz apps on the TI-84+ calculator to solve real world problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-hired
Zooooooom!
This activity uses times collected for a radio control car traveling certain distances to create a regression line to analyze and discuss as a class. If the car(s) cannot be obtained, you can use students to run the distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zooooooom
Building a Garden Fence
In this activity, students will use basic concepts of perimeter and area to investigate a classic problem situation requiring maximization. They must decide how to build a garden fence to enclose the largest possible area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-a-garden-fence
Corralling Sheep
In this activity, students will write linear equations with restricted domains to model fencing around a herd of sheep, then map out the fencing using the TI-Innovator Rover.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/corralling-sheep
Investigating the Pythagorean Theorem
Use your TI-84 Silver Plus calculator and the Carbri Jr file 'PYTHAG' to have students investigate what happens to the results of the Pythagorean Theorem for acute, right, and obtuse triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-pythagorean-theorem
