Understanding the Linear Equation (Function Families)
I used this activity with my grade nines to assist their understanding of the parts of the equation y=mx+b.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-the-linear-equation-function-families
Using the Transform Application in an Algebra Class
This activity is intended to be a discovery activity for students to determine the effect that changing m and b have on the equation y=mx+b. There is a teacher guide and an activity to determine the student's level of understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-transform-application-in-an-algebra-class
Box It Up
Students take a numerical and tabular look at finding the maximum value of an open box constructed by folding a rectangular sheet of material with cutout square corners. They also understand the concepts of independent and dependent variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up
Breaking Spaghetti
Students will do a lab where they keep track of the number of strands of spaghetti versus how many "weights" it takes to break the spaghetti. They will enter lists and create a scatter plot. Students will also find the equation for the line of best fit. The TI-Navigator System can then be used...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breaking-spaghetti
Verifying Absolute Value Inequalities with a Graphical Approach
Find the solution sets of absolute value inequalities like abs(x-3)5 using the equation editor (y=). Focus on finding the boundaries of inequality intervals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/verifying-absolute-value-inequalities-with-a-graphical-approach
Olympic 100 Meter Dash Times: Women vs. Men
In this activity, students will analyze data from 1960 to 1992 to determine when mens' and womens' winning olympic times will be equal. Students use regression and systems of equations to answer a series of questions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/olympic-100-meter-dash-times-women-vs--men
The Tortoise and the Hare
Students develop patterns using two or more rational number quantities. They comprehend the concept of functions by understanding the relationship between these quantities and their sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tortoise-and-the-hare
Making Sense of Shapes and Sizes
Students develop algorithms for generating and generalizing patterns related to triangle and square geometric models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-sense-of-shapes-and-sizes
