Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks
Special Segments in Triangles
Students will construct and explore medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles.

Pythagorean Proofs
In this activity, students will explore proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will explore the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem using area of squares, area of triangles and trapezoids, and by dissection. Students will then be asked to apply what they have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pythagorean-proofs
Cell Phone Range

The Impossible Task
Students are given a manufacturing situation and asked to write and graph an inequalities to represent it and find the solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-impossible-task
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
Linear Regression: Wing Span/Height
Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class compares the different equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression-wing-spanheight
Stretching the Quads
Students stretch and translate the parabola given by y = x2 and determine the effects on the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-the-quads
Hot Air Balloon
Using a dynamic manipulative, students will have a visual for adding and subtracting integers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hot-air-balloon_1
Around the Vertex in 80 Days
Students move a quadratic function in the coordinate plane to specific points to observe how the vertex form of the equation changes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/around-the-vertex-in-80-days_1
Introduction to Absolute Value
Students numerically explore absolute values using the calculator, plot points to graph y = |x|, and use the Transform application to perform transformations with absolute value functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-absolute-value_1
Intersecting the Solution
Students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically and understand the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solution
Radical Transformations
Students will use the Transformational Graphing application to examine how the square root function is transformed on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radical-transformations
Modeling Data
Students graph data modeling exponential and logarithmic growth and find equations representing the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-data
The Pythagorean Theorem
Students will construct figures that prove the Pythagorean Theorem in two different ways.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pythagorean-theorem
Constructing Similar Triangles
Students investigate three different methods of constructing similar triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-similar-triangles_1
Tessellations
Students will explore tessellations of triangles and quadrilaterals. They will use the transformation tools of symmetry, reflections, rotations, and/or translations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tessellations
Distances in the Coordinate Plane
Students will explore distances in the coordinate plane. After finding the coordinates of a segment’s endpoints, students will substitute these values into the distance formula and compare the results to the measured length of the segment. Then students will find the distance between the endpoint...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/distances-in-the-coordinate-plane_1
Hide and Seek on the Coordinate Plane
The activity is designed as an introduction to the activity center on TI-Navigator™. Prior to the activity students should have covered graphing points on the coordinate plane, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers, as well as absolute value and comparing and ordering integers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hide-and-seek-on-the-coordinate-plane
Exterior & Remote Interior Angles
Students investigate an exterior angle and its two remote interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exterior--remote-interior-angles_1
Shortest Distance Between Points and Lines
This activity investigates concepts such as the shortest distance between two points in a plane, and the shortest distance between a line and a point not on the line. The analytical explanation of these concepts is supported with visual illustrations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distance-between-points-and-lines
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Different or Not?
In the episode, the FBI discovers that children in the area of a sinkhole seem to have an unusually high occurrence of cancer. FBI agent Megan Reeves believes that this might represent a "cancer cluster," but Charlie warns her not to jump to this conclusion too quickly. Students will use a statis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--different-or-not
Parallel Lines Cut By A Transversal
