Bounce Back
In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bounce-back
Velocity and the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will explore the position of the ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/velocity-and-the-bouncing-ball
Walk My Walk
A two-part activity that uses a CBR to develop the notion of slope and y-intercept through various walking activities. Part A develops a general notion of how changes in walking are reflected in various graphical representations. Part B formalizes the ideas of (1) slope and its relationship to sp...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walk-my-walk
Here’s Looking at Euclid
Students explore several ways to calculate the Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple, including using Euclid’s Algorithm.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid_1
Manual Fit
Students manipulate parabolas so that the curve matches a set of data points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manual-fit
At a Snail's Pace
In this activity, students plot a mathematical relationship that defines a spiral. They use technology to create a spiral and to plot a set of ordered pairs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/at-a-snails-pace
From a Distance...You Can See It!
Students find the distance between points using common fractions and decimals, with the concepts of midpoint and distance. They also learn to solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-a-distance---you-can-see-it
Parts is Parts
Students find a sample of a given size with a given mean. Students will show one way 100 families can have a mean of 2.58 children and understand the meaning of the term "average."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parts-is-parts
CDs Anyone?
Students write rules for real world functions. They make a table to compare function values and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cds-anyone
Expanding Space Station
Students will find and compare function rules for a given pattern. They also evaluate variable expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/expanding-space-station
How Close is Close?
Students compute statistical measures like the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the data set. They understand how measures of variability can be interpreted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-close-is-close
Aim High, Aim Low
Students will explore patterns related to place value in calculations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/aim-high-aim-low
Picnic Challenge
Students find patterns to solve problems, explore functions, and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/picnic-challenge
Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks_1
What’s Half of a Half of a Half?
Students will use a physical model to determine what happens when they repeatedly halve a piece of paper, and then they reassemble the pieces into a whole. They then use an algebraic model to analyze the same situation, which leads to an introductory discussion of limits.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-half-of-a-half-of-a-half
Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/will-girls-and-boys-be-equal
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways

Vertical and Phase Shifts
Students explore vertical and phase shifts of sine and cosine functions and determine the effect that each change has upon the shape of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-phase-shifts
Exploring Geometric Sequences
Students graphically analyze geometric series using graphs and consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and first term using sliders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-geometric-sequences
All On The Line
Students enter points into a spreadsheet and graph equations to help solve linear systems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/all-on-the-line
Find the Equation of the Line
Teachers and/or students will look at given information (two points, a point and a slope, a point and a parallel line, and a point and a perpendicular line) and have to find the linear function that works.
