NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - That's So Random
In "Double Down," three college students attempt to get an edge in a casino card game by analyzing the mechanical randomization process used to shuffle the cards. As Charlie explains, the auto-shuffler relies on an algorithm to deal the cards in random order. The students are able to crack the al...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--double-down--thats-so-random

Math TODAY: Wing Tabs Save Fuel
Using the USA TODAY® Infograph, 'Wing Tabs Save Fuel,' ratios and proportions will be used to explore the concept of similarity between a drawing/model and the actual dimensions. The effects of dilation (size change) on an image and pre-image will also be explored. In addition, students will look...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today-wing-tabs-save-fuel
Square Tables
In this activity, students will make a variety of squares using square tiles and the Table feature of the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ to discover patterns and make predictions off those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-tables
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Soft Target" - Is This Seat Taken?
In "Soft Target," Alan is considering how to arrange people in seats at a wedding. Charlie points out that although there are many possibilities for seating arrangements, you reduce those possibilities if you decide who needs to sit next to whom.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--soft-target--is-this-seat-taken
