How To Avoid 5 Common Grant Writing Mistakes | Texas Instruments
... A typical example is a teacher writing a proposal to fund a classroom set of graphing calculators. That’s the teacher’s need. The proposal should instead address student learning needs where calculators form just one portion of the solution. Classroom calculators should not be the end goal, b...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2023/5-common-grant-writing-mistakes
Perspective Drawings
In this activity, students will draw figures in one- and two-point perspective, comparing and contrasting the two types of drawings. They then create an isometric drawing and compare it to the other drawings.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perspective-drawings
Applications of Critical Points
Students will examine the relationship between critical points and local extrema through real-world examples. Students will zoom in on the critical points to see if the curve becomes linear to determine if the function is differentiable at the critical point. They will then discover that the sign...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-critical-points
How to Find the Center of a Circle Determined by Three Non-Collinear Points

Factoring Special Cases
Students explore geometric proofs for two factoring rules: a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 and x2 – a2 = (x – a)(x + a). Given a set of shapes whose combined areas represent the left-hand expression, they manipulate them to create rectangles whose areas are equal to the right-hand expression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-special-cases_1
Algebra Nomograph
