Texas Instruments: Jason: Tracking the Path of Animals
Rainforest at the Crossroads: Simulate the motion of an animal using a rectangular object placed at different positions on the floor. Then measure and graph the animal's coordinates, and examine its path.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Geoboard App
Students use the Geoboard App to measure arcs, line segments, area, and perimeter, as well as rotate, reflect, and translate objects.

Texas Instruments: Falling Down Adventure 5
Students use the CBR 2 to study how a change in mass affects the average speed of a falling object. They graph distance as a function of time, and interpret and analyze graphs representing motion.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: 47 Ways To
In this investigation teams of students will explore variations in measured data. Students will drop an object from the same height 47 times and record the time for each drop.

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Lost and Found
Based off the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to chaos theory, and specifically Levy flight paths. These allow students to "trace back" where an object may have originated, given its endpoint. This lesson is...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Patterns in Counting
Students' learn to count in multiples of numbers using concrete objects and a calculator. They also connect number symbols to quantities, and look for patterns in the number symbols.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Geometry and Measurement
Students learn to explore relationships between units of measure and objects to be measured. They develop an understanding of length, area, and volume.
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
Texas Instruments: Copying an Angle
Explore relationships (including congruence and similarity) among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: You're So Dense Ti 83
Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.

Nctm: Illuminations: Volume of a Cube
"The volume of a cube can be developed by considering unit cubes, a single row (longs) of unit cubes or a single layer (flats) of cubes using this applet." This easy software makes it possible to easily construct a cube and take it...
