Direct Variation with Powers: Surface Area and Volume
Students find the approximate surface area and volume of an apple, measuring circumference 3 ways, using the mean of the measurements to find the radius. Each students enters the results in a Table on the board.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/direct-variation-with-powers-surface-area-and-volume
Buying Your First New Car!
With a high interest topic, this activity graphs an exponential "decay" (depreciation) with a linear graph (car payments) and finds the intersection between the two graphs. Students groan when they watch their new cars "decay."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/buying-your-first-new-car
Match the Graph (circles)
Students will learn about the equation for a circle by using a Study Cards stack. Later, students will attempt to match the graph of a circle from a digital picture, using the form learned previously, and approximating the center and radius of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph-circles
Beebopper Shoe Store adapted from CPM Mathematics 1-Algebra 1
