Circular Motion
In UCM, the net force called Fc is equal to mv2/r and is directed toward the center. This is demonstrated by an object that is suspended by a string and is moving in a circular path which makes a conical pendulum. In this experiment, you will measure the tension and the length of the string to ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circular-motion_1
Taxonomy
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary used in studying taxonomy.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taxonomy
Coast to Coast with Alice
Students learn to solve a real-world problem comparing automobile travel in the early 1900s and travel today. They follow the route taken by Alice in 1909 from New York City to San Francisco and determine how long the trip would take today.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/coast-to-coast-with-alice
An Average Lunch?
Students explore the meaning of the average (mean) value for a set of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-average-lunch
Under Pressure
Students will conduct an experiment to determine the pressure applied to various objects.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/under-pressure
Design a Quilt
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a two dimensional design, and use the calculator to determine the value of the design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/design-a-quilt
Fourier Series
Shows how to compute and graph the complex Fourier Series coefficients for a square wave.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fourier-series
Food for Thought
Students learn to count in tens up to 100. They also learn to build 2-digit numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/food-for-thought
Data Analysis and Probability
Students explore the basics in data analysis and probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-and-probability
Median and Interquartile Range
In this lesson students are introduced to the median and, by taking the median of each half of the data, to quartiles and the interquartile rangehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/medians-and-iqrs-bc
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Mean As A Balance Point
In this lesson, students calculate deviations from the mean, how far each value is above or below the mean. Students also focus on the balance point of a distribution, where the sum of the absolute deviations below the mean is equal to the sum of the absolute deviations above the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-balance-point-bc
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
Graphical Displays of Univariate Data
Students will sort data and construct stemplots, dotplots, histrograms, and frequency plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphical-displays-of-univariate-data
Box Plots
In this lesson, students plot the two extreme values (minimum and maximum), the lower quartile (LQ), upper quartile (UQ), and the median (a five-number summary) on a number line to create a graph called is a box plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-bc
Surface Area of Cylinder Song
Here's a silly song that I use with my classes to help them remember how to find the surface area of cylinders. My students actually suggested that I submit this!https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/surface-area-of-cylinder-song
Finding the area of a perfect polygon.
To find the area of a "regular polygon."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-the-area-of-a-perfect-polygon
Building Expressions
In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expres...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-expressions-bc
Modeling Median Incomes
In this activity, students investigate and examine the data underlying the claim that women’s income is catching up to men’s income.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-median-incomes
What is a Variable?
In this lesson students evaluate expressions, write expressions that correspond to given situations, and use expressions and formulas to solve problems. Students also examine a product of the form ax for given integer values of a in terms of how the value of the product changes for a one unit cha...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-variable-bc
What is an Equation?
In this lesson students begin by establishing the difference between an expression and an equation. Students then investigate expressions and equations to develop what it means to have a solution to an equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-equation-bc
What is an Exponent?
Why are exponents useful and how do they behave? An exponent indicates how many times the base to which it refers is a factor; i.e., in , the 4 indicates that the base, 3, is used as a factor four times. This lesson focuses on how the definition can be used in a variety of situations to make sens...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-exponent--bc
Equations and Operations
In this lesson students investigate the relationship between the solution to an equation and the solution to a new equation formed by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing one or both sides of the original equation by a numerical value. Students develop an understanding of “solution...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equations-and-operations-bc
