Max Area, Fixed Perimeter
The student will use a rectangle of fixed perimeter to find the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/max-area-fixed-perimeter
Combinations
This activity introduces students to combinations. They derive the formula for the number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time by starting with a list of permutations and eliminating those that name the same group, just in a different order. From here they see how the number of combinat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/combinations
Living on the Edge
Students build a solution to a rather complex problem: Finding the edge length of an octahedron given its volume by solving two simpler problems first.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/living-on-the-edge_1
Linear Inequalities
Linear programming is a technique used to solve problems that are encountered in business and industry. These problems usually involve maximizing or minimizing profit or expenses. The solution will consist of graphing the region that satisfies all the inequalities. The solution will produce a fea...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-inequalities
Constructing an Ellipse
Students will explore two different methods for constructing an ellipse. Students discover that the sum of the distances from a point on an ellipse to its foci is always constant. This fact is then used as the basis for an algebraic derivation of the general equation for an ellipse centered at th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-an-ellipse_1
Application of Polynomials
Students use the volume formula to find cubic polynomials in order to determine the dimensions of four different-size boxes used for packaging trash bags.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-polynomials
Advanced Algebra Nomograph
This activity is similar to a function machine. The nomograph is comprised of two vertical number lines, input on the left and output on the right. The transformation of input to output is illustrated dynamically by an arrow that connects a domain entry to its range value. Students try to find th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/advanced-algebra-nomograph
The Painted Cube
This lesson involves having the students hypothesize about the different relationships that exist between the size of the cube and the number of cubes that have paint on one, two, three, and zero faces. In order to help students visualize the problem, interlocking cubes could be made available.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-painted-cube
