Have a Heart... or a Snail!
Students will make connections between the Cartesian graphs of trig functions and Polar graphs involving cardioids and limacons (with and without a loop).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/have-a-heart###-or-a-snail
Properties of Ellipses
This TI-Nspire Activity examines the reflective property and the distance property of a ellipse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-ellipses
A Linear Picture
Students will use lines to create a picture.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-linear-picture
The "Great Pyramid" - Rate of Change
Students will explore different rates of change. Using the TI-Nspire students will be expected to make predictions based upon information that a Pharaoh has given. Students will explore points in a scatter plot of time and height on the building of a pyramid in ancient times. They will calcula...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-great-pyramid--rate-of-change
Slopes with Starburst
Students will use Starburst to conduct an experiment that analyzes slope. The data will be entered into TI-Nspire and evaluated. Students explore concepts such as flat/steeper slopes and constant versus varied slope. Students also simulate distance versus time graphs using meter sticks and hot...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slopes-with-starburst
Slope, Midpoint and Distance
The student will interact with a line segment and will report various conditions on a handout. Positive, negative slope, distance, and midpoints will dynamically calculate as the student drags either endpoint around.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-midpoint-and-distance
Guess My Slope
Students will estimate the slope of six lines. Students will then return to each line and use the measurement capabilities of the TI-nspire to find the actual slope of each line. Students will find the absolute value of the differences between their estimates and the actual slopes in order to d...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/guess-my-slope
What is a Fraction?
This activity helps students understand and visualize a fraction as a number that can be represented as a point on a number line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-fraction
Equivalent Fractions
This activity helps students understand that two fractions are equivalent (or equal) if they are located at the same point on the number line. Students recognize that, as with whole numbers, when ordering fractions the larger of two fractions is located farther to the right on the number line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equivalent-fractions
Fractions and Unit Squares
This activity is intended to extend the concept of fraction to unit squares, where the unit fraction fraction is a portion of the area of a unit square.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-and-unit-squares
