They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
Electromagnetics
Describes how to use the TI-89 to solve Laplace's equation for two-dimensional electrostatic problems. The separation of variables method provides exact solutions but is restricted to specific geometries. The relaxation method is applicable to any geometry, but it provides only an approximate s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetics
Financial Calculations
Describes how to use the TI-89 to calculate interest, present worth, loan repayments and so forth. These methods utilize the time-value-of-money.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/financial-calculations
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event happening. Students investigate the binomial and geometric prob...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-as-relative-frequency
Summarizing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students understand statistical concepts like center of data and the amount of data variation from the center. They calculate the measures of the center of a distribution and the measures of spread for the data collected as a list. Students also create boxplots for the data. They examine the effe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/summarizing-distributions-of-univariate-data
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
Stepping Stones
Students use volume formulas and proportional reasoning to calculate the amount of concrete needed to make stepping stones of a specific size.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stepping-stones
Thrift Store Markdowns
Students will calculate a series of discounts using increasing unit fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/thrift-store-markdowns
Looks Right
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to determine which given triangle retains its basic shape after its vertices are dragged around the screen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looks-right
Match the graph
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to reflect points from a graph across the axes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in feet and inches. They will use the TI-34 MultiView™ scientific calculator to convert actual heights in inches to feet and inches, and they will compare the actual heights with their estimated heights. Finally, they will graph the estima...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
