Greatest Area Activity
In this activity students will explore area as it compares to length of rectangles with a fixed perimeter by creating lists of the possible dimensions and the areas of these rectangles. Students will then graph a scatterplot of the data, find the quadratic regression, and explore the table of val...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/greatest-area-activity_1
Modeling and Simulating Projectile Motion
This activity provides participants the opportunity to model and simulate projectile motion using a program and the TI-83/84 family of graphing calculators. It is a preliminary in-class activity used prior to actual launching an air-powered rockethttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-and-simulating-projectile-motion
FACTORED POLYNOMIALS
The students will identify x-intercepts of polynomials and then write their own equations for polynomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factored-polynomials
Factoring Special Cases
Given a set of shapes whose combined areas represent the left-hand expression, students manipulate them to create rectangles whose areas are equal to the right-hand expression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-special-cases
Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Bewildered Babies
After making charts and using logic to list possible label arrangements, students compare their results with the output of the combinations formula and nCr command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bewildered-babies
Closure Tables
Students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables_1
Learning to Do Linear Regressions
This activity compares children's age to height to teach linear regressions. The handout includes notes for students and teachers with a step-by-step lesson on how to do 3 types of linear regressions - Best Fit line, Median Median Line and Least Squares Line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/learning-to-do-linear-regressions

Let's Play Ball with Families of Graphs
This activity is designed for students to use real-time data to generate a family of parabolic graphs. The data set will be generated by graphing the heights of a ball bounce with respect to time. Students will determine the regression equations to the graphs and determine their relationships. ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-play-ball-with-families-of-graphs
Exploring Circles
Explore the relationship between the center and radius of a circle and the equation of the circle. Collect data and determine regression equations related to various combinations of data, and use the regression equations to make predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-circles
Geometric Sequences & Series
Students find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet and create scatter plots of the sequences to see how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio and/or the sign of the first term of the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences--series_1
