Accelerated Returns
Students compare periodic and continuous compounding and apply continuous compounding to a variety of problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/accelerated-returns
It's a Parallelogram, You Say?
Students represent complex numbers in the complex plane as points or vectors and display the sum and difference of two complex numbers as diagonals of the parallelograms they define.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-a-parallelogram-you-say
Operation Rules
In this short activity, students use interactive pages with sliders to determine rules for different combinations of adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers such as adding two negative numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/operation-rules
Alternating Series
Students will use the capabilities of their handhelds to find limits and compare two series to determine if the alternating series converges or diverges. Then students will approximate the sum of an alternating series by using a table to find partial sums and using the Alternating Series Remainde...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/alternating-series_1
Exploring Pi with the TI-Nspire
We've all done the lesson where you use a string to compare the measurements of the circumference and the diameter of a circle. Students can now explore that same activity on the TI-Nspire.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-pi-with-the-tinspire
Fibonacci Fun
Students will explore a variety of middle level content as they examine Fibonacci connections to divisibility and to the golden ratio. They will discover interesting Fibonacci properties and use basic algebraic properties and symbols to prove conjectures about those properties.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fibonacci-fun
