What is Boiling?
We will investigate the effects of heat on matter by studying boiling waterhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-boiling
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
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
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
Tints and Shades
Students solve a problem involving mixing of paint colors. They use color charts to determine the fractional parts and percentages of colors needed to create tints and shades.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tints-and-shades
Forensics Case 13 - Life in the Fast Lane: Using skid marks to determine vehicle speed
Students determine the coefficient of friction between a vehicle and a road surface. They use the length of the skidding distance to determine the speed of a vehicle before its brakes were applied. Students convert between SI units and Imperial units and rearrange equations to solve for different...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-13brlife-in-the-fast-lane-using-skid-marks-to-determine-vehicle-speed
Boyle's Law
An inexpensive and effective setup for Boyle's law. The students experiment and perform data analysis to "discover" Boyle's Law.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/boyles-law
Recycled Sounds
Students create a musical instrument from empty 1-liter bottles and use fractional equivalents to tune the bottles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recycled-sounds
Busy Hands
Students will make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students will relate each finger sign to its numeral and then explore number sentences using the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/busy-hands
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Students' learn about adding and subtracting decimals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-and-subtracting-decimals
Mean Machine
Students construct a function machine from a small box. Students use the calculator to discover functions. They create their own one-step and two-step function rules and turn their calculators into a function machine.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-machine
Helping Hands
Students make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students relate each finger sign to its number name and numeral. They use the numeral keys and scrolling feature of the TI-10 to enhance the concrete-symbol connection and sequencing of numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-hands
Yards of Tin
Students solve a problem involving surface area of cylinders. They find the surface area and the amount of tin needed to make the cylindrical parts of ten long open pipes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/yards-of-tin
Cereal Numbers
Students build numbers from zero to ten with cereal and connect the number name and numeral. Students also explore number sentences for numbers up to ten.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cereal-numbers
Action-Packed Subtraction Patterns
Students learn to use manipulatives and calculators to explore what happens when they change one number at a time in a subtraction number sentence. They record and develop the pattern that develops.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-subtraction-patterns
Action-Packed Stories
Students learn to use whole numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction. They choose a number and create a story using the number selected and illustrate the number story. They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
Who's in the House
Students construct a model of a house, drawing pictures of the people and pets in the house. Students use skip counting strategies to find possible combinations of people and pets that live in their classmates houses with the help of pictures and TI-10.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whos-in-the-house
Fractions and Skittles
Students will predict how many of each color will be in one pack of skittles before they open the package. Once they open the package, they will determine how close their predictioins are to the actual amount. Students then will come up with ratios and averages.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-and-skittles
Golden Rectangles
Students measure rectangles and calculate ratio between the sides. They compare the ratio to the Golden Ratio (1.618).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/golden-rectangles
Exploring the Unit Circle
In this activity, students explore the properties of a unit circle and its mapping functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-unit-circle
Who Needs Mixed Numbers?
Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers_1
