Let Me Count the Ways
Students will make predictions about the number of ways to make eleven with two or more addends. They will investigate patterns with these addends with the help of manipulatives and the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-me-count-the-ways
In the Range
Students will interpret the rounding involved in measuring to identify the possible range of a given measurement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/in-the-range
Helping Hands
Students make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students relate each finger sign to its number name and numeral. They use the numeral keys and scrolling feature of the TI-10 to enhance the concrete-symbol connection and sequencing of numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-hands
Data Analysis and Probability
Students explore the basics in data analysis and probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-and-probability
Yards of Tin
Students solve a problem involving surface area of cylinders. They find the surface area and the amount of tin needed to make the cylindrical parts of ten long open pipes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/yards-of-tin
Recurring Remainders
Students will use the calculator to investigate the patterns formed by remainders in whole-number division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recurring-remainders
Names for One-Half
Students use their understanding of integers, fractions, decimals, and operations to find mathematical expressions that equal one-half.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/names-for-onehalf
Transient Circuit Analysis: Numeric
Describes how the differential equation plotter is used to solve the second-order circuit presented in Chapter 2 (Topic 8) by expressing it as a system of first-order differential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transient-circuit-analysis--numeric
a-MAZE-ing Secret Paths
Students learn to add and subtract numbers using the calculator. They investigate patterns in place value and explore relationships between numbers on the hundred chart.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/amazeing-secret-paths
Action-Packed Subtraction Patterns
Students learn to use manipulatives and calculators to explore what happens when they change one number at a time in a subtraction number sentence. They record and develop the pattern that develops.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-subtraction-patterns
Action-Packed Stories
Students learn to use whole numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction. They choose a number and create a story using the number selected and illustrate the number story. They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
Financial Calculations
Describes how to use the TI-89 to calculate interest, present worth, loan repayments and so forth. These methods utilize the time-value-of-money.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/financial-calculations
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs

Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
Demonstrates the utility of symbolic algebra by using the Laplace transform to solve a second-order circuit. The method requires that the circuit be converted from the time-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s). The voltage, v(t), of a sourceless, parallel, RLC circuit with initial co...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/laplace-analysis--the-sdomain
