Texas Instruments: Exploring Infinite Series
In this activity, students learn to identify geometric series. They determine if a sequence converges and also learn to calculate the sum of numbers in a geometric series.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Dimensions and Area
In this activity, students discover the relationship between a change in the dimensions of a rectangle and the change in the corresponding area.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Traveling Shapes Motion Geometry
In this activity, students describe how to move a shape from one place to another in a plane. They learn about translations, rotations, and line reflections. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Step by Step Activity Data Collection & Analysis
In this activity, students create a situation that produces linear behavior by stepping heel to toe and taking distance readings as each step is taken. Students then apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for motion.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: 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.

Texas Instruments: Nevada Hspe Practice Exams Science
Students can use these LearningCheck item banks to prepare for the following - grade 10 science exam.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: What Is Boiling?
In this lesson, students investigate the effects of heat on matter by studying boiling water.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Minimum and Maximum Perimeter
The students can use varying numbers of tiles to form shapes, and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Balloon
Students inflate a balloon and observe the relationship between the rate its volume is changing and the rate points on its surface are getting closer to each other. They use the their calculator to determine the exact rate of change.

Texas Instruments: A Move in the Right Direction
Students physically provide motion data that is collected by a CBL and then graph the data. They determine if they "moved in the right directions" by comparing their graph with those printed in the activity.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Maintaining Balance
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students determine center of mass for a series of objects (approximate JENGA blocks), and then to push each level so that it "hangs over" the level below it. Following this,...

Texas Instruments: Circulation
This StudyCards stack enables students to review the vocabulary and physiology of the circulatory system.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Linear Programming and the Inequalz App
This activity uses the Inequality Graphing Application to take some of the frustration out of linear programming.It allows students to concentrate on the important part of the lesson, so they can learn the basic concepts with greater depth.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Absolute Values
This set contains questions about graphs of V - shaped absolute value functions. Students are asked to determine maximum and minimum values, state whether the graph is opening up or down, and solve absolute value inequalities.
