Geometric Sequences & Series
Students find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet and create scatter plots of the sequences to see how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio and/or the sign of the first term of the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences--series_1
Perms and Combs?
Students will use built-in commands to evaluate factorials, combinations, and permutations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perms-and-combs
Balloons
This activity is about gathering data to create a scatter plot and then look at a line of best fit. Students will measure the circumference of a blown up balloon and then they will time how long it takes the balloon to deflate. They will enter this information in to their lists and then graph t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balloons
The Tortoise and the Hare
Students develop patterns using two or more rational number quantities. They comprehend the concept of functions by understanding the relationship between these quantities and their sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tortoise-and-the-hare
Let Us Count the Ways!
Students evaluate expressions using permutations and combinations of data elements on the calculator. They solve problems using these counting principles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-us-count-the-ways
How Close is Close?
Students compute statistical measures like the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the data set. They understand how measures of variability can be interpreted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-close-is-close
Number Crunching! Number Munching!
Students comprehend the order of operations and apply this understanding to simplify and evaluate expressions. They also learn to represent problems that involve variable quantities with expressions and use the calculator as a tool to solve problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-crunching-number-munching
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
Webinar | Exploring Features of Rational Functions Using Multiple Representations in AP® Precalculus
...ht the key features of rational functions and discuss how TI can help connect multiple representations of rational functions. The presenters will guide you through using TI graphing technology to explore: The differences between removeable discontinuities (holes) and non-removeable disco...https://education.ti.com/en/t3-professional-development/for-teachers-and-teams/online-learning/on-demand-webinars/2024/oct-8-exploring-features-of-rational-functions
Absolutely!
Students first solve linear absolute value equations in a single variable using the definition of absolute value to write and solve two equations. They then explore the handheld's functionalities for solving and checking such equations. Students view graphs of absolute value inequalities, compare...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolutely
