How dense are we
In this activity students use scientific notation to compare populations, state land areas and the corresponding population density.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-dense-are-we
The Fibonacci Sequence
One of the simplest and beautiful mathematical sequences. The simplicity: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... is such that each term is the sum of the previous two terms. Examples of the sequence can be found in nature, architecture and number theory. In this investigation, students explore some of the patterns...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-fibonacci-sequence
Vernier - Energy in Food
Students will use the temperature probe to measure temperature changes to measure and compare the energy content of different foods.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--energy-in-food
Vectors In Component Form
Students experiment with an interactive 2 dimensional vector and observe the corresponding changes to its representation in i and j component form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors-in-component-form
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
Students generate random polynomials and observe the distribution of the zeros on the complex plane. From the distributions students are able to draw conclusions about the zeros, and therefore roots, of a polynomial in order to gain a better visual understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Alge...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fundamental-theorem-of-algebra
Vernier - Vapor Pressure of Liquids
Students investigate the relationship between the vapor pressure of liquid and its temperature. They use a Pressure Sensor and a Temperature Probe to collect pressure and temperature data.
