Constructing Quadrilaterals
In this activity, students will construct different types of quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy. This activity asks for constructions based on a minimal definition of the quadrilateral. The activity will reinforce the difference between a construction and a drawing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-quadrilaterals
Saving for Graduation
In this activity, students use the CellSheet™ Application to calculate accrued interest on a principal. During the activity students solve a problem to calculate the interest on a principal, for a specified period.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/saving-for-graduation
Investigating the Parabola in Vertex Form (y = ax2 + bx + c)
In this activity, students investigate the standard form of the quadratic function, y = ax2 + bx + c. They investigate the changes on the graph of a quadratic equation that result from changes in A, B, and C. They also locate the vertex of a parabola when its quadratic equation is expressed in st...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-parabola-in-vertex-form-y--axsup2sup--bx--c
You're So Dense - TI-83
Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-so-dense--ti83
What's My Line?
This activity focuses on strengthening student understanding of connections among graphical, tabular, and algebraic representations of simple linear functions. They enter a simple program that allows them to determine the equations for lines, in the form Y = AX + B, based on tabular and graphical...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-my-line
Playing with the Transformation Application
Students try to fit a quadratic function to the 200 m world record data using the transformation graphing application.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/playing-with-the-transformation-application
Inequality Graphing App
Students explore inequalities by entering inequalities using symbols, plot their graphs (including union and intersection shades), store (x, y) coordinate pairs as lists, enter inequalities with vertical lines in an X= editor, and trace points of interest (such as intersections) between functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inequality-graphing-app
Solutions
In this LearningCheck™ students decide which ordered pairs are solutions of equations in two variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solutions
Definitions and Laws of Exponents
These StudyCards™ stacks cover definitions of natural number exponents, zero, and negative integer exponents, as well as the First, Second, Third Laws of Exponents. Parts 1 through 4. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 1.4, 6.2.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/definitions-and-laws-of-exponents
Design Curves
Students plot points then use regression lines to design a vehicle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/design-curves
Applications of Parabolas
Students look for both number patterns and visual shapes that go along with quadratic relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-parabolas
Cricket Thermometers
In this activity, students investigate the relationship between temperature and number of cricket chirps. They learn to find the other value of a function when given one value of a function. Students use linear regression and plot a set of ordered pairs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cricket-thermometers
Constant Rate of Change
This StudyCards™ stack is a teaching activity that demonstrates that the constant rate of change idea is present in many situations outside the mathematics classroom. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 2.3, 4.1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constant-rate-of-change
Area of the Missing Square
Students explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square
What's Your Combination
Students are first introduced to the counting principle and the factorial symbol. Then, they will calculate combinations and permutations using these formulas and the nCr, n!, and nPr commands on the graphing calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-combination
Buying Your First New Car!
With a high interest topic, this activity graphs an exponential "decay" (depreciation) with a linear graph (car payments) and finds the intersection between the two graphs. Students groan when they watch their new cars "decay."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/buying-your-first-new-car
Finding Standard Deviation
Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-standard-deviation
Ball Toss Activity
Students receive data from tossing a ball into the air. They are to graph it, set a window, and analyze the height, how long it was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ball-toss-activity
Find the Square Root...
Students who understand the basic concept of square roots learn how to evaluate expressions and equations that have rational and irrational solutions. Students also explore solutions to equations and investigate the differences between exact and approximate solutions using the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-square-root
