Approximation of Pi Using an Area Model
Students will approximate pi by setting up trigonometric ratios and calculating the areas of regular polygons inscribed within and circumscribed about a circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi-using-an-area-model
Constructing Lines from Individual Points in the Activity Center
Students will understand that a line is made up of many points that all follow the same rule.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-lines-from-individual-points-in-the-activity-center
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
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
Car Stopping Distances
This activity uses the tranformation graphing application on the TI-84 calculator to discover the equation for the stopping distance of a car on dry pavement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/car-stopping-distances
Transformations, Reflections and Translations
Students will discover how to move a function up, down, to the right or left or reflect it.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-reflections-and-translations
Circles - Exploring the Equation
Students explore the definition of a circle as well as the equation of a circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circles--exploring-the-equation
Asymptotes & Zeros
Students relate the graph of a rational function to the graphs of the polynomial functions of its numerator and denominator. Students graph these polynomials one at a time and identify their y-intercepts and zeros. Using the handheld's manual manipulation functions, students can manipulate the gr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/asymptotes--zeros_1
Interval Notation
This StudyCards™ stack is a teaching activity on understanding interval notation. It uses functions and function behaviors as the context for needing and using interval notation. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 1.3.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interval-notation
Hurricane Hunters: Tracking Katrina and Rita
In this activity students will use data collected on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to study functions, predictions, and probability models. Students will track the two hurricanes to see how the paths of the hurricanes affected the Gulf Coast of the United States. Students will use list, graphs, a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hurricane-hunters-tracking-katrina-and-rita
How to Weigh an Alligator
Students will explore real data and determine which type of regression is appropriate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-to-weigh-an-alligator
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
Graphing Families of Quadratic Functions
Students will use the Transfrm app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in vertex form, will be summarized by students in their own words. S...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-families-of-quadratic-functions
Constructing an Ellipse
Students explore two different methods for constructing an ellipse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-an-ellipse
Solving Systems of Equations
This activity can be used as a self assessment or as a small quiz over solving systems of linear equations. Requires knowledge of substitution and elimination.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-systems-of-equations
Buying Your First New Car!
With a high interest topic, this activity graphs an exponential "decay" (depreciation) with a linear graph (car payments) and finds the intersection between the two graphs. Students groan when they watch their new cars "decay."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/buying-your-first-new-car
Match the Graph (circles)
Students will learn about the equation for a circle by using a Study Cards stack. Later, students will attempt to match the graph of a circle from a digital picture, using the form learned previously, and approximating the center and radius of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph-circles
Beebopper Shoe Store adapted from CPM Mathematics 1-Algebra 1
The purpose of this activity is to allow students to collect data, use that data to create list and graphs. The students can then answer questions related to how to best stock the Beebopper Shoe Store. The students then use the data and graph to determine if there is a relationship between a pers...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/beebopper-shoe-store-adapted-from-cpm-mathematics-1algebra-1
Titanic Tales
Students interpret data tables and graphs. They find percentages and create circle graphs to display data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/titanic-tales
Quilt Block Areas
Students will draw and color scaled drawings of traditional quilt block designs. They then find the appropriate fraction, decimal, and percent of the overall design for each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-block-areas
