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
Matching quadratics equations with pictures!
Students will submit equations in vertex form that will match the roller coaster using activity center. They will also find the intersection point of two roller coasters.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/matching-quadratics-equations-with-pictures
Linear Force: May the Force be With Us
Using the TI-Navigator, students will send linear equations with STAR WARS movie pictures in the background. Focus on slope and y-intercept with linear lightsabers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-force-may-the-force-be-with-us
Linear Programming and the Inequalz App
This activity uses the Inequality Graphing Application to take some of the frustration out of linear programming. It allows students to concentrate on the important part of the lesson, so they can learn the basic concepts with greater depth.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-programming-and-the-inequalz-app
Linear Regression
Each set of 32 reproducible masters teaches appropriate keystroking and ample practice for each topic in mathematics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression
