This StudyCards™ set promotes understanding of commutative properties, associative properties and the distributive property. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 1-1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/real-number-properties
Dilations in the Plane (Transformations)
In this activity, students will explore the properties of dilations and the relationships between the original and image figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilations-in-the-plane-transformations
Discovering Pi
Students will measure the circumference and diameter of round objects. They will send in their measurements through TI-Navigator™ and discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter. Students will note why all points do not lie exactly on the line y=PIx. Then students will use ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discovering-pi
Mirror, Mirror, on the Graph
In this activity, students review basic geometry vocabulary while investigating reflections on a coordinate grid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mirror-mirror-on-the-graph
Measures of Central Tendency Activity: Height of the Class
The purpose of this lesson is to have students create a box and whiskers plot from collecting class data of each person's height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measures-of-central-tendency-activity-height-of-the-class
Statistical Plots
This activity gives students an opportunity to select and create the most appropriate graph to represent a given data set.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/statistical-plots
The Marble Experiment
Students determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-marble-experiment
The Rule of Four
In this activity, students will use a variety of features of the TI-84 Plus to represent problem situations. Students will look at problems algebraically, graphically, verbally, and numerically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-rule-of-four
Changing Before My Eyes
In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/changing-before-my-eyes
Geometry: Parallel and Perpendicular Slopes
This activity will help students understand the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometry--parallel-and-perpendicular-slopes
The Golden Ratio
The students will engage in a hands on activity to determine how they fit into the golden ratio which is considered the mathematically perfect ratio. Is it necessary or important to relate to this number?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-golden-ratio
Estimation Games
Students use the calculator to compute products of numbers and to find answers to division problems. The activity is designed to help students develop number sense with the operations of multiplication and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimation-games
Matrix Transformation of Triangles
The symmetry of a trangle on the coordinate plane is discovered through the 2X2 matrix transformations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/matrix-transformation-of-triangles
Looking for Some Direction - Finding Distance on a Graph
This is a suggestion for how to use Activity Center on TI-Navigator™ to illustrate story problems in which students need to find the distance between two points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looking-for-some-direction--finding-distance-on-a-graph
The Shrinking Dollar
Students examine the long term effects of inflation. They compute the increase in cost price due to compounding of inflation rates every year. They recognize that this increase in cost price is exponential.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-shrinking-dollar
Understanding Solutions of Systems Using Tables and Graphs
Students represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-solutions-of-systems-using-tables-and-graphs
