Closure Tables
In this activity, 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
Bewildered Babies
Students test the limits of the combinations formula by applying it to a labeling situation. 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_1
What Is My Rule?
This activity encourages students to gain experience with the language of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each of the problems shows two points, z and w. Point z can be dragged, and point w moves in response. In describing the rule that governs the location of point w, students will most likely ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-my-rule
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
Pi Song - Little Help
Solving literal equations with Pi. In this activity, students will explore formulae that have Pi in it.

The equations make this activity of interest to geometry and physics classes for a short...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pi-song--little-help
Conditional Statements
In this activity, students construct examples of conditional statements such as parallel and perpendicular lines. After completing the conditional statement, they will write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive and determine if each is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-statements
Midpoint Quadrilateral
This problem presents an opportunity for students to think about properties of quadrilaterals, and also to work on confirming observations through geometric reasoning. If your state has adopted the Common Core State Standards, this alignment might be helpful: Geometry: Prove Geometric Theorems G....https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midpoint-quadrilateral
Exploring Geometric Sequences
Students explore geometric series by considering the effect of the value for the common ratio and first term using sliders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-geometric-sequences_1
Polly, Want Some Division?
In this activity, students will use polynomial calculations to determine quotients and remainders when performing polynomial division using CAS commands. The Remainder Theorem is introduced and applied to identify roots or zeros and to determine function values. Graphs are incorporated to visuall...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polly-want-some-division
