Graphing Motion: Instantaneous and Average Speed (Follow up activity: Scalar and Vector Quantities)
Students are introduced to the calculator as a graphing tool and distinguish between average speed and instantaneous speed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-motion-instantaneous-and-average-speed-follow-up-activity-scalar-and-vector-quantities
Blackbody Radiation
This program will produce the blackbody radiation curve for one or two objects when the student inputs the temperature(s) in kelvin. The program will also display on the curve the peak frequency and wavelength when one object is selected.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/blackbody-radiation
Convolution
Shows the convolution of two functions. To simplify the details, the functions are finite, piecewise, and continous.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convolution
Crunching Numbers
Students learn to build and add two digit numbers. They connect number words and numerals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/crunching-numbers
Design a Quilt
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a two dimensional design, and use the calculator to determine the value of the design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/design-a-quilt
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
It's the Place that Counts
Students learn to add using place-value material and a calculator. They make connections between base-ten numerals and the quantities they represent.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-the-place-that-counts
