Students will then graph a scatterplot of the data, find the quadratic regression, and explore the table of val...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/greatest-area-activity_1
The Shrinking Dollar
Students examine the long term effects of inflation. They compute the increase in cost price due to compounding of inflation rates every year. They recognize that this increase in cost price is exponential.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-shrinking-dollar
Arithmetic and Geometric means
This activity relates the concepts of the arithmetic and geometric means of two numbers. Students, with the aid of their TI calculators and TI-Navigator system, compute the arithmetic and geometric means for four different pairs of numbers. They send their results to the teacher's computer where ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-and-geometric-means
Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Bewildered Babies
After making charts and using logic to list possible label arrangements, students compare their results with the output of the combinations formula and nCr command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bewildered-babies
Closure Tables
Students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables_1
Learning to Do Linear Regressions
This activity compares children's age to height to teach linear regressions. The handout includes notes for students and teachers with a step-by-step lesson on how to do 3 types of linear regressions - Best Fit line, Median Median Line and Least Squares Line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/learning-to-do-linear-regressions
Depreciation
In this activity, students perform computations involving depreciation of assets. They will study methods such as Straight line depreciation, Sum of the digits method and Double declining balance depreciation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/depreciation
Continuous Compounding
In this activity, students deal with financial computations, where the interest is compounded continuously. Depending on the length of each compounding period, students will determine the number of compounding periods.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/continuous-compounding
Trains in Motion
Students will make observations about the motion of two objects. They will compare and contrast this motion and consider how it corresponds to a graph representing distance as a function of time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trains-in-motion
Complex Numbers
Students calculate problems to determine the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/complex-numbers
Light at a Distance: Distance and Light Intensity
In this activity, students will use a light sensor to record the light intensity at various distances from a bulb. They will compare the data to an inverse square and a power law model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-at-a-distance-distance-and-light-intensity
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
