The Ordinary Man
Students estimate the heights of people and compare the estimates to the actual heights in a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
From a Distance...You Can See It!
Students find the distance between points using common fractions and decimals, with the concepts of midpoint and distance. They also learn to solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-a-distance---you-can-see-it
Eating Out
Students examine data and make graphs to represent the data. They interpret the data and answer questions. They also learn to calculate percentages and angle measures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/eating-out
CDs Anyone?
Students write rules for real world functions. They make a table to compare function values and graph linear functions on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cds-anyone
Stuff It!
Students learn to calculate volume of a sphere and a rectangular prism. They explore methods of determining how many volleyballs can be placed in a room.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stuff-it
How Fast for Whiplash? Going with the Flow
Students recognize direct variation as a rate of change and apply it in problem situations. They also use average rates of change to make decisions in problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-fast-for-whiplash-going-with-the-flow
Quilt Block Areas
Students will draw and color scaled drawings of traditional quilt block designs. They then find the appropriate fraction, decimal, and percent of the overall design for each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-block-areas
What's So Special about 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11_1
Quilt Blocks
Students will see how fractions, decimals, and percents are interrelated, then explore and learn how to convert between them. Students will also practice estimating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quilt-blocks_1
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in inches. They will convert inches to feet, and they will interpret the calculator results to express the estimated heights in feet and inches. Finally, they will graph the estimated heights and actual heights of the celebrities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man_1
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros_1
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan
Find the Square Root...
Students who understand the basic concept of square roots learn how to evaluate expressions and equations that have rational and irrational solutions. Students also explore solutions to equations and investigate the differences between exact and approximate solutions using the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/find-the-square-root
What Makes a Food Nutritional?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritional
The First Twelve Days of School
Students learn to organize data, look for patterns, and solve problems. They will count the number of "coins" in a variation of The Twelve Days of Christmas song. They will also generalize the patterns through symbolic expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-first-twelve-days-of-school
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways
Domain, Range and Function Mapping
Students explore the concept of domain, range and function mapping through a variety of visual representations. Interactive sets, ordered pairs and graphs provide for opportunities for students to explore, the idea is then flipped as students build a function to match the domain and range supplied.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/domain-range-and-function-mapping
It's To Be Expected - 84
Students use a tree diagram to find theoretical probabilities and use this information with lists to find the expected value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-to-be-expected
