Modeling Mantid Striking Distance
In this TI-84 family activity, students investigate the relationship between how hungry a praying mantis (also called a “mantid”) is and the distance at which the praying mantis will strike (jump) at prey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-mantid-striking-distance
Paying off a Loan
In this coding activity for the TI-84 Plus CE Python edition, students will write a program that asks for the principle, annual interest rate and monthly payment. The output will display the approximate number of months it will take to pay off as well as the total amount paid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/paying-off-a-loan_-84
Limits of Rational Functions
In this activity, students will use limit notation and intercepts to describe rational functions given in analytic form for a partner to sketch a graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/limits-of-rational-functions
Factor Darts
In this coding activity for the TI-84 Plus CE Python, students will create a dart game that generates four random quadratic expressions. For each question the player answers correctly, the player will get another shot at the dart board.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/factor-darts_84
End Behavior of Polynomial Functions - 84
This lesson involves determining the similarities and differences among functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/end-behavior-of-polynomial-functions_1
Circles - Angles and Arcs
In this TI-84 family activity, students explore angles constructed in a circle and how their measures are related to the measures of the intercepted arcs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-and-arcs
Shark Frenzy
Students examine equations in the family of linear functions which are of the form y = m x, each of which correspond to a different family of sharks. They relate the slope to the ratio of the shark’s fork length to its total length. When comparing two sharks of the same length, students con...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shark-frenzy
Financial Mathematics

Experimentally Calculating Pi
Because the diameter of a circle is related to the circumference of a circle, we can find this constant relationship by measuring several lids and fitting a regression line to the data. The slope of this line is pi. This is a great activity to allow students to discover that Pi is the relations...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/experimentally-calculating-pi
You're Probably Right, It's Wrong - TI-83
In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-probably-right-its-wrong--ti83
Move it
In this activity, students investigate transformation, slides and scaling, of a triangle using lists. They will add, subtract and multiply numbers to the list and describe the changes that have occurred. Students are to make the connection between changing the x- or y-values and the transformation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-it
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
Where Did the Parentheses Go
In this activity, students use the order of operations and number properties to create a unique expression from a set of numbers that must equal another number.
