NASA - Space Shuttle Guidance, Navigation, and Control Data
In this activity, students will see how the position of the shuttle is deteremined and how the GNC officer ensures that the space shuttle arrives at its pre-determined destination as outlined by mission objectives.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-guidance-navigation-and-control-data
NASA - Robonaut 2: First Humanoid Robot in Space
NASA uses robots in many ways to help with space exploration. When it’s possible for robots to perform tasks, rather than people, there are some obvious advantages. Robots do not have to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. They can perform tasks over and over in exactly the same way without gett...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--robonaut-2-first-humanoid-robot-in-space
Intersecting the Solutions
In this teacher-led activity, students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically. They will learn the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions and create equations that draw upon this connection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solutions
How Many Solutions?
Students graph systems of linear functions to determine the number of solutions. In the investigation, students are given one line and challenged to draw a second line that creates a system with a particular number of solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-solutions
MVT for Integrals
Demonstrate how the average value of a function over an interval is related to the definite integral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mvt-for-integrals
The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Students make visual connections between a function and its definite integral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-second-fundamental-theorem-of-calculus_1
Areas In Intervals
Students use several methods to determine the probability of a given normally distributed value being in a given interval. First, they use the Integral tool to find areas under the curve and to the left of given values. Students continue the activity to find probabilities for which the correspond...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/areas-in-intervals

Binomial Pdf- Eye Color
This lesson involves binomial trials, distributions, and probabilities. Students can create the tns file following the steps in Binomial_Pdf_Create_Eye_Color, or they can use the premade file Binomial_Pdf_Eye_Color.tnshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-pdf-eye-color
Binomial Experiments
Students use the multiplication rule for independent events to find the probability of the first success in the nth trial. Students use their results to derive and test a general formula. Then, students expand on this foundation to derive and test a rule for the probability of x successes in n tr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-experiments
Exploring Quadratic Equations
Students will stretch and translate the parabola given by y = x2 and determine the effects on the equation. Students will also explore finding the vertex and zeros of a parabola and relate them to the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-quadratic-equations
Exponential Growth
The purpose of this exploration is to investigate properties of exponential functions including the relationship between the graphical and algebraic forms of the functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth
Difference in Means
This activity involves investigating whether a difference really seems to exist between two sample means.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/difference-in-means
Introduction to the Central Limit Theorem
Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-the-central-limit-theorem_1
