Now You See It, Now You Don't - TI-83
In this activity, students study the relationship between age and near point accommodation (NPA). They predict a person's age using NPA distance values. They use exponential regression, create box-and-whisker plots and histograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/now-you-see-it-now-you-dont--ti83
Nevada's Population
Students examine patterns and use these patterns to try to predict different aspects of an event. They study the statistical patterns for the population of the state of Nevada over a period of hundred years, and predict the population in the year 2010. Students learn to graph scatter plots, graph...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nevadas-population
Explore Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Students will use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will find that parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts and that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. This Technology Lab accompa...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/explore-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
Organized Guess and Check using CellSheet
Students will use the APP CellSheet to aid in answering a typical guess and test problem. The activity will help in their organizational ability as well as with cell sheet usage. Their answers will be shared using Navigatorhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/organized-guess-and-check-using-cellsheet
Finding the Endpoint of a Segment Given One Endpoint and the Midpoint
The purpose of the activity is for students to verify how to determine the coordinates of an endpoint of a segment, given the midpoint and other endpoint, using the dynamic capabilities of Cabri Jr.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-the-endpoint-of-a-segment-given-one-endpoint-and-the-midpoint
The Letter Product Game
This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-letter-product-game
Number Sets
When you start this activity, students receive a Venn diagram of real number sets (natural, whole, integer, rational, irrational)on their calculator. This same diagram is projected on the Activity Center screen at the front of the room. The teacher writes a value on the board and students move th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-sets
Writing Linear Equations Using Activity Center and Houses!
Students will write linear equations given two points. The two points will be the location of the students' houses. They will partner with someone and try to make an equation that will go through the two houses which are coordinates shown on the activity center background.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/writing-linear-equations-using-activity-center-and-houses
What's in a Name? Explorations in the Coordinate Plane from Manipulative to Graphing Calculator
Students will plot points in a coordinate plane and reflect those points across the axes using a MIRA and then using the graphing calculator STAT, STAT PLOT, and GRAPH menus graph the image on the graphing calculator screen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-in-a-name--explorations-in-the-coordinate-plane-from-manipulative-to-graphing-calculator
