Using Vases to Help Understand What Graphs Mean
Students will predict what the graph will look like for different vases as they are filled with water. Then students will use the vases of different shapes and fill them with a set amount of water before each measurement. Students then measure the height of the water in the vase (their y-interc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-vases-to-help-understand-what-graphs-mean

Use the Axes and Measure Angle tool to explore and calculate complementary angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-complements--with-cabri-jr
Exploring Platonic Solids
This activity is best at the very beginning of a unit on solids. Students will observe Platonic solids using an interactive website (from the NLVM) projected to the whole class. Students will predict the number of edges, vertices, and faces of the five solids and record their predictions on a Lea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-platonic-solids
Got the sum of remote interior angles equal to the measure of the exterior angle? with Cabri Jr.
Draw a triangle with exterior angle. Measure the exterior angle and each remote interior angle. Use the Alpha hand to check that the sum of the remote interior angles is always equal to the exterior angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-the-sum-of-remote-interior-angles-equal-to-the-measure-of-the-exterior-angle---with-cabri-jr
It's a Bug's Temp
Uses information provided in a table to determine what if any relationship exists between the air temperature and the temperature of an insect.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-a-bugs-temp
Got an equilateral triangle? with Cabri Jr.
Using the Compass tool in Cabri Jr., students will construct an equilateral triangle, and check the length of each side. When a vertices is moved using the Alpha hand, the triangle remains equilateral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-an-equilateral-triangle---with-cabri-jr
The Letter Product Game
This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-letter-product-game
