What Is My Rule?
This activity encourages students to gain experience with the language of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each of the problems shows two points, z and w. Point z can be dragged, and point w moves in response. In describing the rule that governs the location of point w, students will most likely ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-my-rule
The Triangular Box Problem (and Extension)
Student will discover the relationship between the height of a box with a triangular base and its volume and student will find the height that will produce the maximum volume of the open-topped box.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-triangular-box-problem-and-extension
Applications of Parabolas
In this activity, students will look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships. Two applications are introduced after some basic patterns in the first two problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas_1
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Beat the System
This can be used as an introduction to Systems of Equations. Students can work in groups or alone. They are shown graphs of the three different types of systems of equations and then asked to write equations of lines to create another set of systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beat-the-system
Families of Rectangles
Students create a family of similar rectangles and then write the equation of the curve that will connect the upper-right vertex of each rectangle. Students will then create a family of rectangles that have the same area and will write the equation of the curve that connects the upper-right verti...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-rectangles
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
Birthday Simulation
In this activity, the students will conduct a simulation to predict the probability that two people in a room of thirty will have the same birthday.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/birthday-simulation
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
Area of the Missing Square
In this activity, students will be introduced to an area model for representing a quadratic equation. Students will explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation. The relationship will be examined with integer and non-integer values in o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square_1
Connecting Algebra 2 to Statistics
Once students learn how to solve exponential and logarithmic equations, the students can take data and decide if an appropriate model is exponential. This activity will require students to create scatterplots and to have the knowlegde of the relationship being linear or nonlinear. This activity...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/connecting-algebra-2-to-statistics
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
Conditional Statements
In this activity, students construct examples of conditional statements such as parallel and perpendicular lines. After completing the conditional statement, they will write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive and determine if each is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-statements
