Cottage Water Problem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to solve a geometry problem. They move the vertex point that is common to two right triangles along the base to find the smallest possible sum of the length of the hypotenuse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cottage-water-problem
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
Ready, Set... Solve!
In this coding activity, students will create a fast-paced game to help practice solving multi-step equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ready-set-solve
