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
Water, Water
Students solve a real-world problem involving water consumption. They determine if an aquifer can be used as a water source for a new town with a population of 5,000 people.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/water-water
Tints and Shades
Students solve a problem involving mixing of paint colors. They use color charts to determine the fractional parts and percentages of colors needed to create tints and shades.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tints-and-shades
Patterns in Percent
Students will use the % key to collect data about percentages of a given number. They will organize the data and look for patterns in percents. (For example, 10% of 20 is twice as much as 5% of 20.)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-percent
Random Remainders
Students explore the use of a calculator to investigate the relationship between divisors and remainders in whole-number division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/random-remainders
Picturing Percents
Students represent percents on a 10 X 10 grid. They use the grid and the calculator to generate patterns that lead to methods for calculating percentages.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/picturing-percents
Remainder Rules
Students use calculators, whole-number division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction to generate mathematical expressions that describe the relationships between dividends, divisors, quotients, and remainders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/remainder-rules
Perimeter Patterns
Students investigate patterns in ordered pairs generated by constructing a sequence of similar shapes. They then use the patterns and the calculator to predict the perimeter of a specific shape in the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perimeter-patterns
Reading Picture Graphs
Students learn to read simple picture graphs with the help of a calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reading-picture-graphs
What's the Problem?
Students will connect number sentences to problem situations and use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve the problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-problem
Only Half There?
Students use measuring tools and calculators to make half-sized drawings of themselves.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/only-half-there
Weaving a Story
Students construct a paper weaving using a chart model. They will also learn skip counting with the TI-10 and recognize number patterns in art.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/weaving-a-story
Number Shorthand
Students will use patterns created on the calculator with the constant operation to develop an understanding of scientific notation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-shorthand
The Value of Place Value
Students will build their flexibility in using numbers by exploring the connections between the number symbols and their representations with base-ten materials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-value-of-place-value
Spin Me Along
Students explore probability and patterns in fractions, decimals, and percents by spinning three spinners and recording and analyzing the results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/spin-me-along
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
Swing Thing
In this activity, students will construct a pendulum and create a motion plot for a swinging pendulum. They will also identify characteristics that affect a pendulum's motion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/swing-thing
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.
