NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Finders Keepers" - Barging In
In "Finders Keepers," the body of a diver is found in the ocean. The body is traced to a salvage barge that has a bloody handprint on it. After further investigation, it is discovered that the blood is not from the dead diver, but someone else murdered on the barge. In order to find the other vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--finders-keepers--barging-in
Perpendicular Slopes
Students investigate the "negative reciprocal" relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines. The final phase of the activity is appropriate for more advanced students as they are led through an algebraic proof of the relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-slopes_1
Perfect Squares and Roots

Sequence of Bounces Activity - Modeling Motion
This activity serves as a follow-up to Activity 12 in the Explorations book, Modeling Motion: High School Math Activities with the CBR by Linda Antinone, Sam Gough, and Jill Gough (Texas Instruments Incorporated, 1997).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequence-of-bounces-activity--modeling-motion
Circles in the Plane
In this activity, students will use the Cabri™ Jr. application to explore circles in a plane. They will investigate the relationship between the equation of a circle, the length of its radius, and the coordinates of its center.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circles-in-the-plane
Sequence Patterns
Sonya Kovalevsky(1850-1891)was fascinated by infinite sequences. Fill in the spaces to continue the sequences in the attached document.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequence-patterns
Sequences
Students learn how to graph the first n terms of a sequence, how to set the window and how to evaluate the nth term of a sequence. They also explore the Fibonacci sequence and Web plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sequences
Circumcenter and Incenter
In this activity, students examine the location of the circumcenter and incenter for different triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circumcenter-and-incenter
NUMB3RS - Season 2 -"Hot Shot" - A Stab in the Dark
In "Hot Shot," two victims of a possible serial criminal are found.

Shark Attack
Students use the Transformation Graphing application to separate what effect each change in the Point-Slope equation has on the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shark-attack
Circumscribing a Circle About a Triangle
In this activity, students use the distance of the circumcenter of a triangle to each vertex of the triangle as the radius and draw a circle using the circumcenter as the center. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and de...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circumscribing-a-circle-about-a-triangle
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Assassin" - Experimenting with Paper Airplanes
