The Integrated Medical Model
As NASA is designing a new spacecraft capable of taking humans into deep space, and with the future advent of commercial spaceflight, a deeper and better understanding of medical risk has become even more vital for maintaining spaceflight safety and health for humans.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-integrated-medical-model
Statistical Inference: Confidence Intervals
The students will construct 1-proportion confidence intervals. This lesson begins by having the students construct a confidence interval with the formula and then leads them through the steps needed to use the Nspire's statistical applications to construct confidence intervals. Students would do ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/statistical-inference-confidence-intervals
Inverse Variation
Students explore multiple representations of the inverse variation function, beginning with a geometric representation (a rectangle with fixed area), and progressing to a table of values, an algebraic expression, and finally a graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-variation
Polar Necessities
Students graphically and algebraically find the slope of the tangent line at a point on a polar graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polar-necessities
Comparing Two Means
In this activity, students will test hypotheses concerning means of two populations. They calculate the test statistic and the critical values and then graph the critical region and plot the value of the test statistic.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-two-means_1
MacLaurin Polynomials
Students will use TI-Nspire technology to explore MacLaurin polynomials. They will develop polynomials that approximate very special functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maclaurin-polynomials_1
Confidence Levels for Means
Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-means

Natural Logarithm
Construct the graph of the natural logarithm function from its definition.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/natural-logarithm
Move Those Chains
In this activity, students will explore the Chain Rule. Students are asked to make a conjecture of the derivative of f(x) = (2x + 1)2 based on the Power Rule. They are then asked to graph their derivative function and compare it to the graph of f´(x). They will then examine "true" statements abou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-those-chains
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
The Classic Box Problem - Calculus
The Box_Problem_Calculus.tns document takes a classic problem from calculus and uses the dynamic linking capabilities of TI-Nspire to enact the problem in multiple representations: diagramatic, graphic, numeric, geometric, and symbolic. The problem is posed on the title screen shown at the right.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-classic-box-problem--calculus
Exploring Asymptotes
In this activity, students will explore asymptotes and singularities, paying particular attention to the connection between the algebraic and graphical representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-asymptotes
Exploring Inverse Functions
Students will investigate the fundamental concept of an inverse, generate the inverse graphs of relations applying this concept, and algebraically determine the inverse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-inverse-functions
Volume by Cross Sections
Students will be introduced to the concept of finding the volume of a solid formed by cross sections of a function that form certain shapes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/volume-by-cross-sections_1
Exponential Growth
