Median and Interquartile Range
In this lesson students are introduced to the median and, by taking the median of each half of the data, to quartiles and the interquartile rangehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/medians-and-iqrs-bc
Mean As a Fair Share
This lesson introduces students to mean as a way to describe the center of a set of data. Often called the average, the mean can also be visualized as “leveling out” the data in the sense of “fair share”.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-fair-share-bc
Mean As A Balance Point
In this lesson, students calculate deviations from the mean, how far each value is above or below the mean. Students also focus on the balance point of a distribution, where the sum of the absolute deviations below the mean is equal to the sum of the absolute deviations above the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-balance-point-bc
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
Box Plots
In this lesson, students plot the two extreme values (minimum and maximum), the lower quartile (LQ), upper quartile (UQ), and the median (a five-number summary) on a number line to create a graph called is a box plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-bc
Building Expressions
In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expres...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-expressions-bc

What is a Variable?
In this lesson students evaluate expressions, write expressions that correspond to given situations, and use expressions and formulas to solve problems. Students also examine a product of the form ax for given integer values of a in terms of how the value of the product changes for a one unit cha...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-variable-bc
What is an Equation?
In this lesson students begin by establishing the difference between an expression and an equation. Students then investigate expressions and equations to develop what it means to have a solution to an equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-equation-bc
What is an Exponent?
Why are exponents useful and how do they behave? An exponent indicates how many times the base to which it refers is a factor; i.e., in , the 4 indicates that the base, 3, is used as a factor four times. This lesson focuses on how the definition can be used in a variety of situations to make sens...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-exponent--bc
Equations and Operations
In this lesson students investigate the relationship between the solution to an equation and the solution to a new equation formed by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing one or both sides of the original equation by a numerical value.
