Constructing Triangles
This activity focuses on the various ways to construct the different types of triangles such as isosceles, equilateral, right, and right isosceles triangles. Students will begin by constructing triangles based on a minimal definition of the shape of the triangle. They will then make constructions...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-triangles

Using the Transform Application in an Algebra Class
This activity is intended to be a discovery activity for students to determine the effect that changing m and b have on the equation y=mx+b. There is a teacher guide and an activity to determine the student's level of understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-transform-application-in-an-algebra-class
Measures of Central Tendency Using Scientific Calculators
Concepts and skills covered in this activity include: Modeling mathematics in real-world problem situations Relating procedures in equivalent representations in different contexts Understanding and applying the measures of central tendencyhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measures-of-central-tendency-using-scientific-calculators
Eating Out
Students examine data and make graphs to represent the data. They interpret the data and answer questions. They also learn to calculate percentages and angle measures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eating-out
Walking the Line
Students use linear functions to model and solve problems in situations with slope and a constant rate of change. They learn to represent situations with variables in expressions, equations, and inequalities and use tables and graphs as tools to interpret them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walking-the-line
What Goes Up Must Come Down
In this activity, students use the calculator to solve quadratic equations. They use the quadratic formula to determine the vertex and the x-intercepts of the graph of a quadratic function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-goes-up-must-come-down
Quilt Block Areas
Students will draw and color scaled drawings of traditional quilt block designs. They then find the appropriate fraction, decimal, and percent of the overall design for each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-block-areas
Fencing the Dog Yard
Algebra 1 students investigate how the area of a dog yard changes based upon a fixed amount of fencing. The concepts presented are a nice introduction to working with quadratics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fencing-the-dog-yard
Quadratic Yoga: Transforming Quadratic Functions
Students will use the vertex form of a quadratic function to fit a graph to a given scatter plot. They will also graph functions given a transformation description.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-yoga-transforming-quadratic-functions
Sequence Investigation
In this activity, students will use a calculator page to create an arithmetic sequence. Through this they will learn some of the vocabulary of sequences. Then students will then use slider functionality to explore the effect of each variable in the formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequenc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequence-investigation_1

Investigation of End Behavior
Students explore end behavior of rational functions graphically, algebraically, and by using tables. They will use multiple representations to look at values a given function approaches as the independent variable goes to positive or negative infinity. Tools are provided which support them in usi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigation-of-end-behavior
Transitions
In this activity, students review some basic relationships relating to the unit circle and apply these relationships in the conversion of a rectangular circle equation to polar form.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions
