This activity is about gathering data to create a scatter plot and then look at a line of best fit. Students will measure the circumference of a blown up balloon and then they will time how long it takes the balloon to deflate. They will enter this information in to their lists and then graph t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balloons
The Ordinary Man
Students estimate the heights of people and compare the estimates to the actual heights in a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
Power Company
Students explore the limits on powers that can be displayed without scientific notation and look for patterns in the powers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/power-company
What's Up?
Concepts and skills covered in this activity include writing keystroke sequences for formulas and converting between temperature scales.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-up
Light Years Away
Students develop models for a light year and compare numbers written in scientific notation and in standard notation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-years-away
Number Power!
Students explore patterns and rules in dealing with exponents and logarithms. They evaluate expressions with exponents and logarithms and display them in various notations. They will use their calculators to discover the power of exponents and their usefulness in the world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-power
Keeping up with Trash
Students use scientific notation in finding answers to real-life problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/keeping-up-with-trash
Quilt Block Areas
Students will draw and color scaled drawings of traditional quilt block designs. They then find the appropriate fraction, decimal, and percent of the overall design for each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-block-areas
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
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_1
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_1

Introduction to Quadratic Equations
This activity allows students to gain an understanding of quadratic equations. They will begin by using a Lists and Spreadsheet page to find the y-values of a specific function. They will then plot the x and y-values using a scatter plot to see the shape of the parabola. On top of this scatter...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-quadratic-equations
