Factoring Special Cases
Given a set of shapes whose combined areas represent the left-hand expression, students manipulate them to create rectangles whose areas are equal to the right-hand expression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factoring-special-cases
Back In Time?
Students will explore the definition of a function through use of a graph, a set of ordered pairs, and an input-output diagram.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/back-in-time
Closure Tables
Students create and complete closure tables to determine if the sets of whole numbers, integers, even numbers, and odd numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/closure-tables_1
Using Technology to Tame the EOC
The following are some examples of strategies that may be used on the Algebra I End Of Course Tests. These strategies do not replace instruction but may be helpful in your test review.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-technology-to-tame-the-eoc
Bounce Back
In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bounce-back
Box It Up (A Graphical Look)
Students graph the relationship between the length of the sides of the cut-out squares and the volume of the resulting box. They trace the graph to decide the best square-size which can result in a box of maximum volume.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up-a-graphical-look
Velocity and the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will explore the position of the ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/velocity-and-the-bouncing-ball
Learning to Do Linear Regressions
This activity compares children's age to height to teach linear regressions. The handout includes notes for students and teachers with a step-by-step lesson on how to do 3 types of linear regressions - Best Fit line, Median Median Line and Least Squares Line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/learning-to-do-linear-regressions
Depreciation
In this activity, students perform computations involving depreciation of assets. They will study methods such as Straight line depreciation, Sum of the digits method and Double declining balance depreciation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/depreciation
Tracing Paper Inequalities
Students graph systems of linear inequalities in two variables in the Cartesian coordinate plane and find their solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tracing-paper-inequalities
Complex Numbers
Students calculate problems to determine the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/complex-numbers
What's Your Combination
Students are first introduced to the counting principle and the factorial symbol. Then, they will calculate combinations and permutations using these formulas and the nCr, n!, and nPr commands on the graphing calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-combination
What is the Inverse of a Function?
Students will understand patterns, relations, and functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-the-inverse-of-a-function
Defining the Parabola
The teacher will graph a horizontal line and plot a point using TI-Navigator™, and the class will provide the points that create a parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/defining-the-parabola
Building curves
Students approach performing the basic operations on the polynomials from a graphical perspective. Given the graphs of two functions, they plot points that lie on the graph of the sum of the functions and draw conclusions about its behavior. Next, they calculate a regression to fit the points the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-curves
Geometric Sequences & Series
Students find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet and create scatter plots of the sequences to see how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio and/or the sign of the first term of the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-sequences--series_1
At a Snail's Pace
