The students plot graphs, fit the data with a function rule, analyze proportional relationships, and make predictions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pass-the-ball
Math TODAY: Ballooning Inside the Box
Using the USATODAY® Infograph, "Ballooning Inside the Box," students will explore geometric relationships using similar triangles. Identifying triangles with two pairs of congruent angles to explore similarity properties of the triangles is an essential part of this activity.Students will learn w...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today--ballooning-inside-the-box
Transformations in the Coordinate Plane
Students will apply transformations and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations. Also, they will represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-in-the-coordinate-plane
Breakeven Analysis
In this activity, students perform breakeven analysis using the cost and revenue of an enterprise. They will determine the relationship between fixed and variable costs, profits, pricing policy, and the volume of output.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/breakeven-analysis
Inverse Variation
Students explore the inverse variation function with a geometric representation (a rectangle with fixed area), a table of values, an algebraic expression, and a graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-variation
Investigating Laws of Exponents
Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-laws-of-exponents
Linear Equations Given Two Points
Given two points, the students will submit linear equations that pass through the points, using the TI-Navigator™ system. The teacher can evaluate student answers as they are submitted. The Activity can be paused at any point for the teacher to discuss the various equations that are submitted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-equations-given-two-points
Looking for Some Direction - Finding Distance on a Graph
This is a suggestion for how to use Activity Center on TI-Navigator™ to illustrate story problems in which students need to find the distance between two points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looking-for-some-direction--finding-distance-on-a-graph
Writing Linear Equations Using Activity Center and Houses!
Students will write linear equations given two points. The two points will be the location of the students' houses. They will partner with someone and try to make an equation that will go through the two houses which are coordinates shown on the activity center background.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/writing-linear-equations-using-activity-center-and-houses
Math TODAY - Home Sales Records
This activity will help students think about the monthly cost to pay back a home loan, how the length of time of the loan and the rate of interest affect monthly payments, and the total cost paid for the house over the length of time for the loan.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today--home-sales-records
Lines, Models, CBR - Let's Tie Them Together (Electronic Format Only)
In this activity, students use a motion detector to collect "linear" motion data and examine the relationship between a physical action and a mathematical and/or graphic model of that action. The students will use the "eyeball" method to find the mathematical model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lines-models-cbr--lets-tie-them-together-electronic-format-only
Lines, Models, CBR - Let's Tie Them Together
In this activity, students use a motion detector to create the data set and examine the relationship between a physical action and a mathematical and/or graphic model of that action.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lines-models-cbr--lets-tie-them-together
