Groucho's Sign Shop
Students' use force sensors to investigate forces and learn about force as a vector. Similar concept to the common "spring scale" force vector lab, but with a real-world twist.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/grouchos-sign-shop
Number Cube Sums
Students explore experimental probability and patterns in fractions, decimals, and percents by rolling two number cubes and recording and analyzing the sums that come up.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-cube-sums
The Number of Years
Students' will chart the various ages of the other students in their classroom then the students will multiply the ages by 2 using a lower level calculator, they will then add up the total ages using the same calculator - they can now divide the class into two groups (boys/girls) and see which gr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-number-of-years
The Mysterious Constant
Students investigate a pattern using the constant function on the calculator, record the ordered pairs in a table, describe the pattern, and predict what will come next.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-mysterious-constant
Bats Triangular
Students use manipulatives to construct a pyramid. The manipulative pyramid then becomes the basis students use to construct a pictorial representation of a pyramid. The TI-10 is used to show symbolic representation of students actions and also aids students in viewing the developing pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bats-triangular
Amazing Appetites
Students learn to count and solve original word problems. They learn to add by combining sets and subtract when removing the set. They use manipulatives to reflect the reasoning used in problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/amazing-appetites
