In this activity, students' will determine the average speed of a falling object. They will observe whether or not changing the mass and keeping the same shape have an effect on the average speed of the object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/falling-down
Vernier - Which Hot Dog Cools Faster?
Different types of hot dogs will cool at different rates after they have been cooked. This activity takes the first steps in investigating this phenomenon by measuring the rate that a warmed hot dog cools. Students can compare the ingredients of various types of hot dogs (all-beef, veggie, turkey...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--which-hot-dog-cools-faster
What's Your Speed?
In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to determine what effect the speed at which a person moves has on the appearance of the Distance versus Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-speed
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
Slow Down - Speed Up
In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to observe the effect of speeding up, slowing down, and moving at a constant rate on a Distance versus Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slow-down--speed-up
Collecting Solar Rays
In this activity, students' will use three Temperature Sensors to collect data from three solar collectors and determine which one absorbs the most heat. They will develop an understanding of the difference between absorption and reflection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-solar-rays
Toys on a slope
Participants analyze data from toys rolling down a slope. Velocity is determined using lists and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/toys-on-a-slope
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
Exploring Hurricane Strength
In the activity, we explore multiple regression equations among Saffir-Simpson Scale, Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm Surge of hurricanes. We relate our models to Hurricane Katrina, Gustav, and Ike.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hurricane-strength
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
Let Me Count the Ways
Students will make predictions about the number of ways to make eleven with two or more addends. They will investigate patterns with these addends with the help of manipulatives and the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-me-count-the-ways
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros
Slam Dunk!
Students will use radius, diameter, length, width, and height to find volume of spheres and prisms as well as area of circles and rectangles. They will discuss when to use a two-dimensional measurement vs. a three-dimensional measurement using spatial reasoning.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slam-dunk
Building Expressions
In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expres...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-expressions-bc
What's the Fastest Way to Get Rich?
Students investigate exponential growth and discover patterns by exploring different scenarios involving money. They will learn how repeatedly doubling, or multiplying by two, can also be expressed exponentially.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-fastest-way-to-get-rich
The Antics of Statistics
Students learn/review some of the different measures of statistics and see how to use those measures to analyze a data set. Students also participate in a discussion about how statistics can be used to achieve a variety of results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-antics-of-statistics
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in feet and inches. They will use the TI-34 MultiView™ scientific calculator to convert actual heights in inches to feet and inches, and they will compare the actual heights with their estimated heights. Finally, they will graph the estima...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
Absolute Values
Students will review the set of integers along with the addition and subtraction of integers using a number line. Then, they will learn that the absolute value of a number is defined as the distance from zero.
