Points on a Line
The Points on a Line activity is intended to develop student understanding of slope of a line. This activity is based on the concept of vertical change and horizontal change when moving between two points on a line. Students will perform an action on the TNS file and observe the consequences of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-line
Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works. As the activity is occuring on the calculator, the students have a worksheet to record the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-equation-of-the-line
Exploring Slope, Including a Study of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
This activity contains 4 problems. The first 2 allow the students to notice relationships of slopes and y-intercepts to the location of lines. The second 2 problems help the students find the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-with-slope-including-a-study-of-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
Birthday Simulation
In this activity, the students will conduct a simulation to predict the probability that two people in a room of thirty will have the same birthday.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/birthday-simulation
Guess My Slope
Students will estimate the slope of six lines. Students will then return to each line and use the measurement capabilities of the TI-nspire to find the actual slope of each line. Students will find the absolute value of the differences between their estimates and the actual slopes in order to d...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/guess-my-slope
