Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Learning to Do Linear Regressions
This activity compares children's age to height to teach linear regressions. The handout includes notes for students and teachers with a step-by-step lesson on how to do 3 types of linear regressions - Best Fit line, Median Median Line and Least Squares Line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/learning-to-do-linear-regressions
Depreciation
In this activity, students perform computations involving depreciation of assets. They will study methods such as Straight line depreciation, Sum of the digits method and Double declining balance depreciation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/depreciation
Transformations: Two Functions or Not Two Functions
Students create original artwork using all functions and conics studied throughout the course. Lines and absolute values, conic sections and whatever else they can stick in a "y=" are combined with some calculator tricks to make works of art that the students are really proud of.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--two-functions-or-not-two-functions
Balloons
This activity is about gathering data to create a scatter plot and then look at a line of best fit. Students will measure the circumference of a blown up balloon and then they will time how long it takes the balloon to deflate. They will enter this information in to their lists and then graph t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balloons
CDs Anyone?
Students write rules for real world functions. They make a table to compare function values and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cds-anyone
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan

Conditional Statements
In this activity, students construct examples of conditional statements such as parallel and perpendicular lines. After completing the conditional statement, they will write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive and determine if each is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-statements
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
Inclined Plane
In this lesson, students explore an inclined plane as an example of a simple machine.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inclined-plane
