Rates of Change and Slope
This lesson was designed for the Grade 10 Applied curriculum in Ontario. In that course, students are expected to connect the rate of change of a linear relationship to the slope of a line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rates-of-change-and-slope
Measuring Segments and Angles
Students will explore the Angle Addition Postulate and the Segment Addition Postulate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measuring-segments-and-angles
Polythagoras
This activity explores (a) relationships among non-square regular polygons constructed on the sides of a right triangle and (b) visual and numerical proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem using rotations and non-square polygons.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polythagoras
The German Tank Problem
Students will develop an understanding of sampling distributions by exploring the methods used to estimate the number of German tanks in existence during WWIIhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-german-tank-problem
Solve Me - One and Two-Step Inequalities
Students will use the TI-Nspire CAS to check their steps used to solve one and two-step inequalities. They will also use the solve feature to verify that they have the correct solution at the end of each problem. While solving inequalities, many students make careless mistakes with simplifying...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solve-me--one-and-twostep-inequalities
Solve Me - Multi-Step Equations
Students will use the TI-Nspire CAS to check the steps they used to solve multi-step equations and equations with variables on both sides. They will also use the solve feature to verify that they have the correct solution at the end of each problem. While solving equations, many students make ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solve-me--multistep-equations
Exponentialis ~ Logarithmus
In this story-style activity, students work through a step-by-step review of solving exponential equations using logarithms. At first, they are guided through process of using logarithms and checking them, with the help of 'Terry Plotter the mathemagician'. Then, students review identities and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponentialis--logarithmus
Percentiles
The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles_ib_ns
Cardioid Patterns - Discover Using Graphs
This activity will give students an opportunity to discover a pattern in the graphs of cardioids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cardioid-patterns--discover-using-graphs
Can You Make My Graph?
