Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios
Zooooooom!
This activity uses times collected for a radio control car traveling certain distances to create a regression line to analyze and discuss as a class. If the car(s) cannot be obtained, you can use students to run the distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/zooooooom
Data Collection for Bar Graphs
Students collect data outside of the classroom, organize their information into a bar graph within their groups, and then contribute their data to Navigator in the form of 2 lists to view and discuss as a classhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-collection-for-bar-graphs
Going Into Business
Students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-into-business
Graphing Systems at the Races
This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm. The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-systems-at-the-races
Dilations with Matrices
Students use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origin of triangles. Students will explore the effect of the scale factor on the size relationship between the preimage and image of a polygon.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilations-with-matrices
Area of Rectangles with Fixed Perimeter
The students will construct several rectangles with different dimensions, all having the same perimeter. The area of each rectangle is then computed and plotted against the width of each rectangle. The students will discover that the area is a quadratic function of the width. They will also dis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-rectangles-with-fixed-perimeter
Arithmetic Sequences & Series
Students use formulas to find the differences of the consecutive terms, plot a scatter plot of each sequence, and determine that sequences with common differences (called arithmetic sequences) have scatter plots whose points form a straight line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-sequences--series_1
Trig Ratios - IB
In this activity, students will use Cabri™ Jr. to discover the relationship between the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine and tangent and the side length ratios of a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-ratios
The Discovery of Pi
The Discovery of Pi With Cabri Jr., and hands on materials Students will measure the diameter and circumference of various round objects and compare them to determine pi. They will then perform this acivity again utilizing the Cabri Jr. App on the TI 84 Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-discovery-of-pi
