Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros
Dividing Notes
Students create an altered musical melody by dividing fractions. They compute the value of notes in terms of fractions and make their sum equal to the time signature.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-notes
Number and Operation Sense: Rational Numbers
Students learn to use the calculator to collect a set of data in order to identify patterns that illustrate important rational number concepts: the relationship between rational numbers and division, and equivalent fraction and decimal forms for rational numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-and-operation-sense-rational-numbers
What Makes a Food Nutritious?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritious
Looks Right
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to determine which given triangle retains its basic shape after its vertices are dragged around the screen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looks-right
Area of Triangle
This Cabri Geometry activity enables students to review the relationship between the height of a triangle and its perimeter and area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-triangle
Dilation
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the geometric property of dilation. They vary the scale factor and examine the effect on the dilation of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilation
Going in Circles - Inscribed Angles
This lesson has students discover properties of inscribed angles in a circle. Students use the Geometer's Sketchpad application for the TI-89 to construct a circle and an inscribed angle. (Topic - circles)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-in-circles--inscribed-angles
Exploring the Unit Circle
In this activity, students explore the properties of a unit circle and its mapping functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-unit-circle
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Creating piece wise functions using CBR system
In this lesson, students will use the CBR ranger to model walking distance over time. They will walk away from the sensor, back towards the sensor and finally away from the sensor over an interval of 10 seconds. The result should be 3 lines. They will then use algebra skills to get the three eq...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-piece-wise-functions-using-cbr-system
Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
This lesson will introduce students to many of the algebraic graphing features of the TI-89 calculator, especially the Maximum command. This will be accomplished by solving volumes of right rectangular prisms. (Algebra / geometry activity)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/volumes-of-rectangular-prisms
Conics & Parametrics 1
This activity is a LearningCheck™ to quickly assess students' ability to identify conics from their equations in both rectangular and parametric form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics--parametrics-1
Who Needs Mixed Numbers?
Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers_1
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
What's the Fastest Way to Get Rich?
Students investigate exponential growth and discover patterns by exploring different scenarios involving money. They will learn how repeatedly doubling, or multiplying by two, can also be expressed exponentially.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-fastest-way-to-get-rich
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
Prehistoric Parabola Match
This activity center is used as a formative assessment after a full unit on the different transformations of vertical parabolas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/prehistoric-parabola-match
Absolute Values
Students will review the set of integers along with the addition and subtraction of integers using a number line.
