Classifying Quadrialterals
In this activity, students will classify quadrilaterals graphed on the Cartesian coordinate plane. Students will justify their classifications with segment and angle measurements as well as slope measurements. A review of the hierarchy of quadrilaterals is at the beginning of the document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/classifying-quadrialterals
Area Formula Investigations
It's easy to just plug in the numbers without thinking, right? Even better, just use the calculator to find the area for you! Well, not today! Students will construct altitude and calculate the area of 5 geometric shapes using the measurement tools.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-formula-investigations
Minimizing Surface Area of a Cylinder Given a Fixed Volume
Students will discover the relationship between radius and height of a cylinder so that surface area of a cylinder can be minimized while maintaining a fixed volume. This is just an introduction to a project that they will begin after this investigation. Once this is completed, they will redesig...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/minimizing-surface-area-of-a-cylinder-given-a-fixed-volume
Charlotte Chase Activity
In this activity, students will create and analyze graphs and investigate how temperature and pressure are related.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/charlotte-chase-activity
Properties of Logarithms
Logarithms are just another way of writing exponents. Just like exponents, logarithms have properties that allow you to simplify expressions and solve equations. In this activity, students Will discover some of these properties by graphing and confirm them with algebra.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms
Difference Between Two Proportions
Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions. First they find the intervals by calculating the critical value and the margin of error. Then, they use the 2-propZInterval command. Students find confidence intervals for differences in proportions in rea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/difference-between-two-proportions_1
Multiplicity of Zeros of Functions
