Factoring Special Cases
Students explore geometric proofs for two factoring rules: a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 and x2 – a2 = (x – a)(x + a). Given a set of shapes whose combined areas represent the left-hand expression, they manipulate them to create rectangles whose areas are equal to the right-hand expression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-special-cases_1
Understanding Slope
Make connections between the sign of the ratio of the vertical and horizontal change as they relate to the sign of the slope.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-slope
Balanced Systems of Equations
A solution to a system of equations is an ordered pair that makes both equations true at the same time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balanced-systems-of-equations
Interior Angles of Polygons
In the following activity, students discover the rule for finding the number of total degrees in the angles of a polygon. Students will use both the TI-Nspire and student worksheet to find the rule and will apply it in predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interior-angles-of-polygons_1
Walk the Line
In this activity, students will be introduced to the CBR 2 motion sensor and the Vernier DataQuest™ app. They will collect and analyze both linear and non-linear data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walk-the-line
Chicago Chase Activity
In this activity, students will predict qualifying speeds and tire wear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chicago-chase-activity
Recipe: Unit Rate
Students look at unit rate in a real-world context. They will use ratios to create points, plot them, and determine the mathematical relationship for the plotted points. Then, they will predict other points based on the relationship determined.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recipe-unit-rate
