Action-Packed Addition Patterns
Students will use calculators and manipulatives to explore what happens when they change one number at a time in an addition number sentence. They will observe and record the pattern that develops.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-addition-patterns
Crunching Numbers
Students learn to build and add two digit numbers. They connect number words and numerals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/crunching-numbers
Design a Quilt
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a two dimensional design, and use the calculator to determine the value of the design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/design-a-quilt
Antennas
Describes how to perform basic antenna and radiation calculations with the TI-89. Antenna patterns, radiation resistance, radiation integrals, and phased array patterns are included.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/antennas
Lifting a Lion
In this activity, students will practice solving a real-world problem. Using a toy lion and a lever, students first discover how much work is needed to raise a toy lion. They will then use proportions to determine the force needed to lift a real lion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lifting-a-lion
Let Me Count the Ways
Students will make predictions about the number of ways to make eleven with two or more addends. They will investigate patterns with these addends with the help of manipulatives and the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-me-count-the-ways
In the Range
Students will interpret the rounding involved in measuring to identify the possible range of a given measurement.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/in-the-range
Helping Hands
Students make their own finger signs for the numbers from zero to ten. Students relate each finger sign to its number name and numeral. They use the numeral keys and scrolling feature of the TI-10 to enhance the concrete-symbol connection and sequencing of numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/helping-hands
Food for Thought
Students learn to count in tens up to 100. They also learn to build 2-digit numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/food-for-thought
Data Analysis and Probability
Students explore the basics in data analysis and probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-and-probability
Yards of Tin
Students solve a problem involving surface area of cylinders. They find the surface area and the amount of tin needed to make the cylindrical parts of ten long open pipes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/yards-of-tin
Recurring Remainders
Students will use the calculator to investigate the patterns formed by remainders in whole-number division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recurring-remainders
Names for One-Half
Students use their understanding of integers, fractions, decimals, and operations to find mathematical expressions that equal one-half.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/names-for-onehalf
Transient Circuit Analysis: Numeric
Describes how the differential equation plotter is used to solve the second-order circuit presented in Chapter 2 (Topic 8) by expressing it as a system of first-order differential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transient-circuit-analysis--numeric
Cereal Numbers
Students build numbers from zero to ten with cereal and connect the number name and numeral. Students also explore number sentences for numbers up to ten.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cereal-numbers
Analyzing Number Cube Sums
Students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not necessarily equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-number-cube-sums
Financial Calculations
Describes how to use the TI-89 to calculate interest, present worth, loan repayments and so forth. These methods utilize the time-value-of-money.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/financial-calculations
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
