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
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems.

How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
Absolutely!
Students first solve linear absolute value equations in a single variable using the definition of absolute value to write and solve two equations. They then explore the handheld's functionalities for solving and checking such equations. Students view graphs of absolute value inequalities, compare...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolutely
Evaluating Logarithms
In problem 1, students explore the logarithm (base 10) function and compare the functions y = 10x and y = log 10x first through a table of values, then through a graph. In problem 2, students explore logarithms with other bases via tables, graphs, the calculator application and the change of base...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/evaluating-logarithms
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. Animations and multiple choice, self-check questions, make this activity accessible to Algebra students. 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
Families of Rectangles
Students create a family of similar rectangles and then write the equation of the curve that will connect the upper-right vertex of each rectangle. Students will then create a family of rectangles that have the same area and will write the equation of the curve that connects the upper-right verti...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/families-of-rectangles
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
Accelerated Returns
Students compare periodic and continuous compounding and apply continuous compounding to a variety of problem situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/accelerated-returns
It's a Parallelogram, You Say?
Students represent complex numbers in the complex plane as points or vectors and display the sum and difference of two complex numbers as diagonals of the parallelograms they define.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-a-parallelogram-you-say
Alternating Series
Students will use the capabilities of their handhelds to find limits and compare two series to determine if the alternating series converges or diverges. Then students will approximate the sum of an alternating series by using a table to find partial sums and using the Alternating Series Remainde...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/alternating-series_1
An ounce of prevention
Students will collect measures off of containers for the volume in both milliliters and ounces. They will set up a plot to determine the relationship between the two measures. Students will predict values for volumes in one unit, given the other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-ounce-of-prevention
Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Common Denominators
This activity uses interactive number lines to investigate addition and subtraction of fractions that refer to the same whole, with like denominators. Students may reason about the process as 1) decomposing each fraction into unit fractions and counting the total number of unit fractions that wou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-and-subtracting-fractions-with-common-denominators
Perms and Combs?
Review of the vocabulary and concepts of factorials, combinations, and permutations. Students use built-in commands to evaluate the expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perms-and-combs_1
Modeling Probabilities
This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities_1
Binomial Probabilities
Students begin with a hands-on experiment of rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures. They then simulate their experiment by using the randBin command on their handheld. Next, they use the binomPdf command to find the theoretical probabilities and compare their ex...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities_1
