Maximizing the Area of a Rectangle
This activity is adapted from one of the TI books. Students measure lengths and widths of rectangles and record for the class to see. Each group's rectangle has the same perimeter, but different areas. After a discussion, students make predictions, a scatterplot, and quadratic regression. An exte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximizing-the-area-of-a-rectangle
Lets Gather Round the Circle
The students will measure the diameter and circumference of various round objects. They will discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-gather-round-the-circle
Linear Equations Given Two Points
Given two points, the students will submit linear equations that pass through the points, using the TI-Navigator™ system. The teacher can evaluate student answers as they are submitted. The Activity can be paused at any point for the teacher to discuss the various equations that are submitted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-equations-given-two-points
