Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks
Tiles in a Bag
How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24 tiles some blue and some green. A green tile is considered a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are rotated in the coordinate plane by 90 or 180 degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rotations-in-the-coordinate-plane

Systems of Linear Equations
This activity is a series of LearningCheck™ documents to be used during a unit on solving systems of linear equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/systems-of-linear-equations_1
Binomial Probabilities
Students simulate rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures by using the randBin command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities
Quick Stats with Quick Poll
It's so simple. Since Quick Poll gives a bar graph when a poll is taken, the teacher can use these graphs to do all kinds of neat statistical manipulations with the students.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quick-stats-with-quick-poll
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Different or Not?
In the episode, the FBI discovers that children in the area of a sinkhole seem to have an unusually high occurrence of cancer. FBI agent Megan Reeves believes that this might represent a "cancer cluster," but Charlie warns her not to jump to this conclusion too quickly. Students will use a statis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--different-or-not
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "The Art of Reckoning" - Spies Like Us
In "The Art of Reckoning," Charlie discusses the security of a prison. "It's a hyper-secure system, but prisoners have nothing to do except think about how to crack it. Like two opposing armies." Charlie explains that analyzing such a situation involves determining the 'probabilities of penetrati...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--the-art-of-reckoning--spies-like-us
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - Outliers
In "Take Out," Amita and Charlie help the FBI track financial transfers from the US to Mexico . There are so many transfers that it is difficult to find the specific transfer.
