Two Hot, Two Cold
In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any given Celsius temperature.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/two-hot-two-cold
Transient Circuit Analysis: Symbolic
Describes how to use the differential equation solver, deSolve(), to solve first- and second-order circuits containing resistors, capacitors, inductors, DC sources, and exponential sources. It also shows how to graph the solutions and find the zero crossing and peak values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transient-circuit-analysis--symbolic
Helping Hands
Students make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students relate each finger sign to its number name and numeral. They use the numeral keys and scrolling feature of the TI-10 to enhance the concrete-symbol connection and sequencing of numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-hands
Marching Columns
Students investigate constructing arrangements of different numbers of manipulatives into equal groups. They learn to use mathematical language, identify patterns with numbers, recognize the commutative property, and transfer the arrangements made with manipulatives to grid paper.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/marching-columns
Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
Demonstrates the utility of symbolic algebra by using the Laplace transform to solve a second-order circuit. The method requires that the circuit be converted from the time-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s).
