Using Vases to Help Understand What Graphs Mean
Students will predict what the graph will look like for different vases as they are filled with water. Then students will use the vases of different shapes and fill them with a set amount of water before each measurement. Students then measure the height of the water in the vase (their y-interc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-vases-to-help-understand-what-graphs-mean
The Midpoint Formula
The purpose of the activity is for students to verify the results of the Midpoint Formula using the dynamic capabilities of Cabri Jr.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-midpoint-formula
The Letter Product Game
This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-letter-product-game
Area of Circles Review
Review Area with PowerPoint™ then use LearningCheck™ as an assessment.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-circles-review
Investigating the Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular lines
In this activity, students investigate how equations of parallel and perpendicular lines relate to each other. They use the drawing and measurement tools of Cabri™ Jr. to explore the slopes of lines. NCTM Geometry Standards: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-the-slopes-of-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
Congruent Triangles
Explore the results when a new triangle is created from an original triangle using the SSS, SAS, and ASA sets of conditions for congruence. In doing so, they will use the Cabri Jr. Compass tool to copy a segment and the Rotation tool to copy an angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/congruent-triangles_3
Points, Lines and Slopes (Oh My!) - 84
In this activity students will explore the relationship between coordinates of points and locations on the coordinate plane, the relationships of lines with their equations, slopes and y-intercepts, and lastly, the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-lines--slopes-oh-my@84@ib
Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle
Prime Numbers Number Line
A number line showing prime numbers less than 100.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/prime-numbers-number-line
Estimating Square Roots
By estimating the value of a square root students will get practice in identifying perfect squares, in checking for reasonableness of an answer, and in mental math.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-square-roots
Integer Assessments
A series of LearningCheck™ activities to determine students' knowledge of integer operations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/integer-assessments
Perimeter Pattern
Students will explore a perimeter pattern created using hexagon and triangle pattern block pieces. They will continue the given pattern and use the values obtained to complete a table of values. They will enter the data into the calculator, create a scatter plot and determine the viewing window...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perimeter-pattern
Transformations of Quadratics
