Estimating Square Roots
In this activity, students develop an understanding of the relationship between a number and its square root. They will first recognize perfect squares and order them from least to greatest with other numbers. Then students will estimate the square root of a number using perfect squares.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-square-roots
Drawing Conclusions
This activity introduces students to the concept of collecting and analyzing data and using conjectures to formulate new questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/drawing-conclusions
Are There Any Seats Left
This activity allows students to use a simulation to understand why airline companies routinely overbook flights.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-there-any-seats-left
Got Complements? with Cabri Jr.
Use the Axes and Measure Angle tool to explore and calculate complementary angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-complements--with-cabri-jr
Changing Before My Eyes
In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/changing-before-my-eyes
Got parallel lines with corresponding angles congruent? with Cabri Jr.
Construct parallel lines in Cabri Jr., and students label and check if all corresponding angles are congruent.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-parallel-lines-with-corresponding-angles-congruent-with-cabri-jr
Got the sum of remote interior angles equal to the measure of the exterior angle? with Cabri Jr.
Draw a triangle with exterior angle. Measure the exterior angle and each remote interior angle. Use the Alpha hand to check that the sum of the remote interior angles is always equal to the exterior angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-the-sum-of-remote-interior-angles-equal-to-the-measure-of-the-exterior-angle---with-cabri-jr
Calculating Unit Prices
In this activity, students will compare ratios with different denominators, and then with common denominators. They will also find unit rates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-unit-prices
Calculating Sale Prices
In this activity, students will find discounts and sale prices for items selling at 20% off and 40% off by using tables. They will then find the general rules, using a variable, for finding those discounts and prices.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-sale-prices
Breathtaking Scatter Plots
In this activity, students will gather data by recording estimates of how long they think they can hold their breath and the actual amount of time. Then, they will create scatter plots and box plots to analyze the data. [All recordings taken on dry land]https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breathtaking-scatter-plots
Making Triangles
In this activity, students will investigate properties of triangles, classify the various types of triangles, and determine if specific side lengths will make a triangle or not.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-triangles
Investigating Angle Bisectors
Students will determine that any poin on the angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-angle-bisectors
Area of Circles Review
Review Area with PowerPoint™ then use LearningCheck™ as an assessment.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-circles-review
Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle
Prime Numbers Number Line
A number line showing prime numbers less than 100.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/prime-numbers-number-line
Sequences
Students learn how to graph the first n terms of a sequence, how to set the window and how to evaluate the nth term of a sequence. They also explore the Fibonacci sequence and Web plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequences
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Assassin" - Experimenting with Paper Airplanes
In the episode "Assassin," Charlie and Larry discuss a paper airplane contest and some factors that affect the flight of a paper airplane. Because it is much simpler, a paper airplane can be easily modified and then tested to see how those changes affect its flight.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--assassin--experimenting-with-paper-airplanes
More difficult factoring
To check sign placement for factoring of trinomials when the coefficient in front of the x square is greater than one and the signs are different.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/more-difficult-factoring
Midsegment of a Trapezoid
Students study the Midsegment Theorem for Trapezoids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midsegment-of-a-trapezoid
What's in a Name? Explorations in the Coordinate Plane from Manipulative to Graphing Calculator
Students will plot points in a coordinate plane and reflect those points across the axes using a MIRA and then using the graphing calculator STAT, STAT PLOT, and GRAPH menus graph the image on the graphing calculator screen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-in-a-name--explorations-in-the-coordinate-plane-from-manipulative-to-graphing-calculator
