Parallel or Perpendicular-What's Your Inclination?
This activity has students discover the relationship between parallel and perpendicular lines and their slopes. After constructing these objects using CABRI Geometry II for the TI-89, slopes are measured. (Topic - parallel and perpendicular lines)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-or-perpendicularwhats-your-inclination
Properties of Parallelograms
In this activity, you will construct the geometric object by following the instructions below, and then answer the questions about the object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_4
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
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
Number and Operation Sense: Rational Numbers
Students learn to use the calculator to collect a set of data in order to identify patterns that illustrate important rational number concepts: the relationship between rational numbers and division, and equivalent fraction and decimal forms for rational numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-and-operation-sense-rational-numbers
What Makes a Food Nutritious?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritious
Thrift Store Markdowns
Students will calculate a series of discounts using increasing unit fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/thrift-store-markdowns
Match the graph
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to reflect points from a graph across the axes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph
Area of Triangle
This Cabri Geometry activity enables students to review the relationship between the height of a triangle and its perimeter and area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-triangle
Dilation
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the geometric property of dilation. They vary the scale factor and examine the effect on the dilation of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilation
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
This lesson will introduce students to many of the algebraic graphing features of the TI-89 calculator, especially the Maximum command. This will be accomplished by solving volumes of right rectangular prisms. (Algebra / geometry activity)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/volumes-of-rectangular-prisms
Conics & Parametrics 1
This activity is a LearningCheck™ to quickly assess students' ability to identify conics from their equations in both rectangular and parametric form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics--parametrics-1
Fast nines and Fast tens
Students learn how to solve a mathematical equation with a missing addend. Students will learn the combinations of addends to find the sums of nine and ten. Students practice math facts with accuracy and immediacy for sums of nine and ten.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fast-nines-and-fast-tens

Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers_1
What's So Special About 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered patte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11
