Ain't No River Wide Enough
Students simulate the process a surveyor would use to measure the width of a river by measuring length on one side of the river and angles formed by various reference points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/aint-no-river-wide-enough
Area of Rectangles with Fixed Perimeter
The students will construct several rectangles with different dimensions, all having the same perimeter. The area of each rectangle is then computed and plotted against the width of each rectangle. The students will discover that the area is a quadratic function of the width. They will also dis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-rectangles-with-fixed-perimeter
Arithmetic Sequences & Series
Students use formulas to find the differences of the consecutive terms, plot a scatter plot of each sequence, and determine that sequences with common differences (called arithmetic sequences) have scatter plots whose points form a straight line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-sequences--series_1
Introducing Families of Functions
Students will be able to identify important characteristics of specific function families. This activity focuses on linear and quadratic functions, but can be easily adapted to work with any family.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-families-of-functions
Intersecting the Solution
Students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically and understand the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solution

The Pythagorean Theorem
Students will construct figures that prove the Pythagorean Theorem in two different ways.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pythagorean-theorem
The Discovery of Pi
The Discovery of Pi With Cabri Jr., and hands on materials Students will measure the diameter and circumference of various round objects and compare them to determine pi. They will then perform this acivity again utilizing the Cabri Jr. App on the TI 84 Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-discovery-of-pi
Quick Stats with Quick Poll
It's so simple. Since Quick Poll gives a bar graph when a poll is taken, the teacher can use these graphs to do all kinds of neat statistical manipulations with the students.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quick-stats-with-quick-poll
Measuring Angles
This activity will introduce and/or reinforce estimating the measurements of angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measuring-angles
Distances in the Coordinate Plane
Students will explore distances in the coordinate plane. After finding the coordinates of a segment’s endpoints, students will substitute these values into the distance formula and compare the results to the measured length of the segment. Then students will find the distance between the endpoint...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/distances-in-the-coordinate-plane_1
