After making charts and using logic to list possible label arrangements, students compare their results with the output of the combinations formula and nCr command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bewildered-babies
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 Matrices to Enter Data and Perform Operations
Students will select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data and understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-matrices-to-enter-data-and-perform-operations
Using Symmetry to Find the Vertex of a Parabola
Students graph a quadratic function and investigate its symmetry by choosing pairs of points with the same y-value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-symmetry-to-find-the-vertex-of-a-parabola
Common Denominator
Students will review and practice adding fractions with unlike denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator
Connecting Factors and Zeros
Students will determine if a quadratic formula is factorable, then they will factor the equation, set each factor equal to 0, and solve for X. (Categories include linear functions, graphing, and factoring.)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/connecting-factors-and-zeros
Approximation of Pi Using an Area Model
Students will approximate pi by setting up trigonometric ratios and calculating the areas of regular polygons inscribed within and circumscribed about a circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi-using-an-area-model
Conserving Energy
Students will find both the kinetic and potential energies as the cart rolls down the ramp. They will find the sum of the two energies, and show that this value is constant at all times.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conserving-energy
Constant Rate of Change
This StudyCards™ stack is a teaching activity that demonstrates that the constant rate of change idea is present in many situations outside the mathematics classroom. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 2.3, 4.1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constant-rate-of-change
Constructing Lines from Individual Points in the Activity Center
Students will understand that a line is made up of many points that all follow the same rule.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-lines-from-individual-points-in-the-activity-center
Using the Transform Application in an Algebra Class
