Count the Differences
Students are given data, asked to find the finite differences, and then use this to find a polynomial that models the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/count-the-differences_1
Factoring Composite Numbers
In this activity, students will review terms associated with prime factors, as well as practice factoring into a factor tree and the prime factorization into exponent form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-composite-numbers
Working Hard or Hardly Working?
Students analyze univariate and bivariate data. Questions are posed for discussion, further research, and algebraic problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/working-hard-or-hardly-working_1
Closure Tables
In this activity, students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables
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
Shall I Double Up or Take the Million? Exponential Growth
If you were given the opportunity to be given a permanent monthly salary of 1,000,000 for 30 days of work or a salary beginning with a penny on day one and doubling each day for 30 days which would you choose?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shall-i-double-up-or-take-the-million-exponential-growth
Points on a Line
The Points on a Line activity is intended to develop student understanding of slope of a line. This activity is based on the concept of vertical change and horizontal change when moving between two points on a line. Students will perform an action on the TNS file and observe the consequences of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-line
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
Pi Song - Little Help
Solving literal equations with Pi. In this activity, students will explore formulae that have Pi in it. Animations and multiple choice, self-check questions, make this activity accessible to Algebra students. The equations make this activity of interest to geometry and physics classes for a short...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pi-song--little-help
Exploring Slope, Including a Study of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
This activity contains 4 problems. The first 2 allow the students to notice relationships of slopes and y-intercepts to the location of lines. The second 2 problems help the students find the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-with-slope-including-a-study-of-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
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
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
