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
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
Students take a numerical and tabular look at finding the maximum value of an open box constructed by folding a rectangular sheet of material with cutout square corners. They also understand the concepts of independent and dependent variables.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-it-up
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
Let's Go to the Furniture Market
