Flatland: The TI-Book
One of the best geometry books of all time is Flatland. Written over a century ago, there is no copyright for this book and you can find it available free as a podcast or a text file. However, nothing beats a TI-book with nicely produced diagrams.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/flatland-the-tibook
Investigating Inscribed Angles
Investigation of the relationship between inscribed angles subtended by the same arc or chord.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-inscribed-angles
"Add Them Up" for TI-Nspire
This activity (which is based on "Add Them Up" from EasyData Collection Activities) involves the use of TI-Nspire, Vernier Easy Link, and a Voltage sensor in order to have students graph a scatterplot and determine an equation of best fit based on collected data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/add-them-up-for-tinspire
The Filly Zoo
During this activity, students are charged with the task of designing the shapes of the habitats of the animals that inhibit the Filly Zoo. The students are asked to use their TI-Nspire calculators to create geometric shapes, measure the dimensions of the shapes, and make informed decisions abou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-filly-zoo
The German Tank Problem
Students will develop an understanding of sampling distributions by exploring the methods used to estimate the number of German tanks in existence during WWIIhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-german-tank-problem
The Mean Value Theorem
Students are presented with a several examples of functions to discover the hypotheses and conclusion of the Mean Value theorem. They will explore the concept of continuity and differentiability as related to the Mean Value Theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-mean-value-theorem
Exponentialis ~ Logarithmus
In this story-style activity, students work through a step-by-step review of solving exponential equations using logarithms. At first, they are guided through process of using logarithms and checking them, with the help of 'Terry Plotter the mathemagician'. Then, students review identities and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponentialis--logarithmus
Percentiles
The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles_ib_ns
Unit Circle template
This is a one page unit circle template that you can copy and paste into a document that you are creating. To make it fit the screen, change the document settings to "float 3," and I used degrees instead of radians for all of the angles up to 180 degrees. You will also want to view in "handheld...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/unit-circle-template
Parameters in Secondary School: Logistics Functions
Designed for prospective secondary mathematics teachers, this activity has students predict, test and justify the effects of changing parameters d and b for the logistic function family given by f(x) = a/(1+b(e)^(cx)) + d. Reflection questions draw attention to the role of claims and evidence, in...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parameters-in-secondary-school-logistics-functions
Polar Point Plotting
The student will be given a brief overview of the Polar Coordinate system. Students will be able to manipulate the radius of a polar point while graphing it on the plane or manipulate the angle and see the polar coordinate graphed on the plane. This activity is meant as an introduction to polar p...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polar-point-plotting
Properties of Matrices
Students will learn three properties of matrices by following this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-matrices
Modeling Engine Power
In this activity, students use the TI-Nspire handheld to determine if a linear model or a quadratic model best fits a set of given data involving engine power. Students look at the pattern of data points and the sum of squares of the deviations to determine which model fits the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-engine-power
Have You Lost Your Marbles?
In this activity, students will create a bridge between two chairs and use a slinky to attach a bucket to the bridge. Students will add objects to the bucket and determine the relationship between the number of items added and the distance from the floor.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/have-you-lost-your-marbles
Linear Programming
This activity adds a twist to a traditional linear programming problem by using the features of the TI-Nspire handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-programming
Duckweed: Exponential Growth
Students will count the fronds of duckweed for nine days to observe the growth phase. Students will need one class period to start the experiment and one day for the final work and 15 minutes per day between start and finish.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/duckweed--exponential-growth
Eccentricity of Polar Equations of Conics
This activity will give students a series of polar equations of conics to discover a pattern of the eccentricity of each type of conic.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eccentricity-of-polar-equations-of-conics
