Pebbling the Chessboard
It’s amazing how often sequences and series pop up in problem solving. In this deceptively challenging problem three discs are placed on a chessboard in a bounded region. The task is to move the pieces out of this region with the only complication being that pieces double when moved. After you’ve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pebbling-the-chessboard
Phoenix Chase
In this activity, students will design their own track and investigate the expected speeds and g-forces for the design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/phoenix-chase
100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition and subtraction. They use estimation, a place value chart, and a calculator to place seven randomly generated numbers in the ones and tens position in a place-value chart to make a sum as close to 100 as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/100-or-bust
Patterns in Division
Students investigate how the quotients and remainders from integer division relate to the quotients from rational number division in both fraction and decimal form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-division
Symmetry with Pattern Blocks
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a design that has a line of symmetry. They use the calculator to determine the value of half the design. They predict and then find the value of the entire design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetry-with-pattern-blocks
CONSTANT-ly
Students investigate a pattern using the constant function on the calculator, record the results displayed on the calculator, and describe how the constant key works.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constantly
