Chords and Circles
Students will begin this activity by exploring how the chord in a circle is related to its perpendicular bisector. Investigation will include measuring lengths and distances from the center of the circle. These measurements will then be transferred to a graph to see the locus of the intersection ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chords-and-circles
Circle Geometry: Central Angles and Inscribed Angles
The activity is designed to teach students the rules attributed to central angles and their intercepted arc and incsribed angles and their intercepted arc.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-geometry-central-angles-and-inscribed-angles
Reflections and Rotations
Students will reflect figures over the x- and y-axes. By studying what happens to the coordinates of the pre-image and image points, they will write rules for reflecting points over the axes. Students will then rotate figures about the origin, in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Ag...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-and-rotations
Histograms
This lesson involves the interpretation of different types of histograms: frequency histograms, relative frequency histograms, and density histograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/histograms
Geometric Series
Students will use TI-Nspire™ technology to explore infinite geometric series and the partial sums of geometric series. The students will also determine the limits of these sequences and series using tables and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-series
Analyzing Country Data
In this activity, students will examine sample ages from three countries displayed in a spreadsheet and in relative frequency histograms that highlight the distinctive features of the distribution of the ages from each sample.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-country-data
Does a Correlation Exist?
In this activity, students will determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient. Then, they will find the linear regression equation and calculate the correlation coefficient. They will use this line to predict the value of y for a given x and vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/does-a-correlation-exist
Riemann Sums
Visualize values for different Riemann sums and use these values to estimate the area of a region.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/riemann-sums
7 Calculator Functions Your Students Need | Texas Instruments
... It’s the same number of keystrokes as using the math menu, but as you can see, there are some useful functions built into this shortcut that will come in handy in future math classes. Keep the soft keys in your back pocket for future use! I also like how the menu comes up over whatever you’...https://education.ti.com/en/bulletinboard/2024/ti-84-algebra-1-seven-calc-functions
Nuclear Binding Energy
Students explore the energy that results from the strong force in nuclei. The activity begins with the unexpected result that the mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In Part 2 of the activity, students analyze a graph to determine the r...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-binding-energy
Nuclear Decay and Chain Reactions
Students determine the decay constant and half-life and begin to look at nuclear fission by simulating a chain reaction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-decay-and-chain-reactions
Polarization of Light
Students use data collected during a lab to explore the relationship between polarized light and light intensity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polarization-of-light
Graphs of Antiderivatives
Students use their TI-Nspire to graph the anti-derivative of a function and investigate aspects of the this function and how it relates to the primitive function. For example, if a continuous derivative function changes from negative to positive, what does this produce on the primi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-antiderivatives
Cell Structure & Function
