Constructing Regular Polygons - Angles of Rotational Symmetry
This activity is designed to be used with the Geometry textbook "Math Connections - 2B" p. 295: #4https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-regular-polygons--angles-of-rotational-symmetry
Angle-Side-Side Exploration
Does knowing two sides and a non-included angle of a triangle guarantee it is a unique triangle? This activity will allow students to discover the answer by moving a point on a triangle to determine if another triangle given the same sides and non-included angle is possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/anglesideside-exploration
Altitudes of Triangles
Students investigate the intersection of the altitudes of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/altitudes-of-triangles
SSA Ambiguity
This activity allows students to investigate the reason for the ambiguity in the SSA case.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ssa-ambiguity
Special Angles formed by Parallel Lines
This activity will help students see the relationship among the angles formed by two parallel lines and the transversal cuts through the lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-angles-formed-by-parallel-lines
Geyser Water Park
This activity deals with the slope-intercept (y=mx+b) formula. It is a good introductory lesson for using the formulas. It also includes setting up a chart and the students have to enter the data into the calculator and graph the results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geyser-water-park
Pledge Plans: An Exploration of Linearity
A brief overlook of slope linearity and how it is applied to graphs and real life situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pledge-plans-an-exploration-of-linearity
Finding the Minimal Path to Put Out a Fire
A camper (at position A) must quickly put out a campfire (at position B). The river is represented by the horizontal line segment CD passing through point P. Where should point P be positioned on the river so that the camper will travel the shortest (minimal) path from point A, to the river at po...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-the-minimal-path-to-put-out-a-fire
Algebra I Review
Review Algebra I concepts including solving equations, slope, and multiplying binomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/algebra-i-review
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
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
Linear Inequalities
Linear programming is a technique used to solve problems that are encountered in business and industry. These problems usually involve maximizing or minimizing profit or expenses. The solution will consist of graphing the region that satisfies all the inequalities. The solution will produce a fea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-inequalities
Getting Ready for Quadratics
This activity is intended as a skill-building exercise to familiarize students with TI-Nspire skills they will need to work through a unit studying the properties of quadratic functions. The activity includes exercises on Creating a Scatter Plot, Finding a Curve of Best Fit, and Tracing a Function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/getting-ready-for-quadratics
The Factor Connection
In this activity, students will explore the connection between linear factors and quadratic functions. Transformations of quadratic functions will be used to develop and enhance the connection between factors, zeros, and graphs. It will make full use of the dynamic ability to manipulate graphs...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-factor-connection
What does "i" do?
The purpose of our lesson is to allow students to foster an understanding of what happens geometrically when a number is multiplied by i. This shall be achieved by working through the lesson using an investigative approach.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-i-do
