Vernier - An Inclined Plane
In this activity, students will use a Force Sensor to measure the force needed to lift an object and the force needed to pull the same object up an inclined plane. They will also calculate work done and efficiency and make conclusions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--an-inclined-plane
Electron Vocabulary
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary used in studying electron behavior.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electron-vocabulary
Vernier - Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions
Students will study temperature changes caused by the evaporation of alkenes and alcohols and relate this data to the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction. They will also predict, and then measure, the temperature change for other liquids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--evaporation-and-intermolecular-attractions
Step by Step
Students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR™. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph scatter plots, calculate slope, and graph linear function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/step-by-step
Problem-Solving Steps
Students learn the four steps of problem solving: Understanding the problem, making a plan, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the results. This activity helps students develop skills to solve problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/problemsolving-steps
Predicting π
Students explore the use of linear measurement and calculators to discover the existence of π, the constant ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/predicting-π
"Power"ful Patterns
Students investigate the relationship between multiplication with repeated factors and the use of exponents. Students will connect "powers of ten" to place value positions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/powerful-patterns
Place-Value Spinners
Students also explore probability and patterns in place value by using two spinners and analyze and record the results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/placevalue-spinners
Number and Operations - 100 or Bust
Students explore the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and integers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-and-operations--100-or-bust
Silenced Songbirds
Students calculate the probable number of Golden-Cheeked Warblers present in a particular area. Students prepare a marked map, calculate the number of square miles in the marked area, and estimate the number of birds that live in the area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/silenced-songbirds
Patterns in Counting with Decimals
Students use the calculator to represent decimals and to recognize patterns in the number symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-counting-with-decimals
Patterns in Counting
Students learn to count in multiples of numbers using concrete objects and a calculator. They also connect number symbols to quantities, and look for patterns in the number symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-counting
What's the Plan?
Students investigate area with nonstandard and standard units of measure. They work to plan a unique vegetable garden and calculate the costs of plants for the garden.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-plan
Water, Water
Students solve a real-world problem involving water consumption. They determine if an aquifer can be used as a water source for a new town with a population of 5,000 people.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-water
Random Remainders
Students explore the use of a calculator to investigate the relationship between divisors and remainders in whole-number division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/random-remainders
Picturing Percents
Students represent percents on a 10 X 10 grid. They use the grid and the calculator to generate patterns that lead to methods for calculating percentages.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/picturing-percents
Remainder Rules
Students use calculators, whole-number division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction to generate mathematical expressions that describe the relationships between dividends, divisors, quotients, and remainders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/remainder-rules
Perimeter Patterns
Students investigate patterns in ordered pairs generated by constructing a sequence of similar shapes. They then use the patterns and the calculator to predict the perimeter of a specific shape in the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perimeter-patterns
Reading Picture Graphs
Students learn to read simple picture graphs with the help of a calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reading-picture-graphs
What's the Problem?
Students will connect number sentences to problem situations and use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve the problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-problem
Only Half There?
Students use measuring tools and calculators to make half-sized drawings of themselves.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/only-half-there
Number Shorthand
Students will use patterns created on the calculator with the constant operation to develop an understanding of scientific notation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-shorthand
