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 patte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11
Can Pythagoras Swim?
Students will investigate relationships between sides of right triangles to understand the Pythagorean theorem and then use it to solve problems. Students will simplify expressions using radicals and exponents in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-pythagoras-swim
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. For this activity, students need prior experience writing linear models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan_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
In Round Numbers
Students will develop and test rules for rounding whole numbers and decimal fractions. They will use the information to solve real-world problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/in-round-numbers
