Repeating Elevens
Students compute multiples of 11, 111, 1111, and so forth, search for patterns in the products, and write generalizations of those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/repeating-elevens
Magic Nines
Students compute multiples of 9, 99, 999, and so forth, search for patterns in the products, and write generalizations of those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/magic-nines
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 pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways
Evaluating Logarithms
In problem 1, students explore the logarithm (base 10) function and compare the functions y = 10x and y = log 10x first through a table of values, then through a graph. In problem 2, students explore logarithms with other bases via tables, graphs, the calculator application and the change of base...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/evaluating-logarithms
Investigating the Derivatives of Some Common Functions
In this activity, students will investigate the derivatives of sine, cosine, natural log, and natural exponential functions by examining the symmetric difference quotient at many points. They develop the idea of the derivative as a function. They gather evidence toward some common derivative for...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-derivatives-of-some-common-functions
Closure Tables
In this activity, 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
Bewildered Babies
Students test the limits of the combinations formula by applying it to a labeling situation. 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_1
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Pi Song - Little Help
Solving literal equations with Pi. In this activity, students will explore formulae that have Pi in it. Animations and multiple choice, self-check questions, make this activity accessible to Algebra students. The equations make this activity of interest to geometry and physics classes for a short...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pi-song--little-help
Perms and Combs?
Review of the vocabulary and concepts of factorials, combinations, and permutations. Students use built-in commands to evaluate the expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perms-and-combs_1
Modeling Probabilities
This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities_1
Binomial Probabilities
Students begin with a hands-on experiment of rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures. They then simulate their experiment by using the randBin command on their handheld. Next, they use the binomPdf command to find the theoretical probabilities and compare their ex...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities_1
