Then, they use a dynamic illustration to make observations, using sliders to ch...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-normal-anyway
Probability Distributions
Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_2
Probability Distributions
Students will describe how the distribution of a random sample of outcomes provides information about the actual distribution of outcomes in a discrete sample space.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_1
NASA - Spacewalk Training
In this activity, students will plot data, looks at patterns, and draw conclusions given a real-world context of astronauts training in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, TX.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--spacewalk-training
Computing with Mathematical Formulas
Evaluate formulas for given values of a variable.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/computing-with-mathematical-formulas
Box Plots & Histograms
Students create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots--histograms
Area of a Triangle
The student will use three methods for finding the area of a triangle. They will find the area using the determinant of a matrix, two sides and the included angle (trig) and Heron's formula (three sides).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-a-triangle

NASA - Rendezvous For Two
When the space shuttle launches from NASA Kennedy Space Center, it must launch within a certain time frame (called a launch window) in order to successfully dock with the ISS. Launch windows are calculated so that the space shuttle will reach an orbit that is slightly lower than the ISS, but in t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--rendezvous-for-two
Infinite Geometric Series
In this activity, students will explore infinite geometric series. They will consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and determine whether an infinite geometric series converges or diverges. Students will numerically analyze infinite geometric series using spreadsheets.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/infinite-geometric-series_1

Law of Sines: The Ambiguous Case
A simple model is used to illustrate the various possibilities of the ambiguous case of the Law of Sines. Students manipulate the model to create each of the possible cases and then make conjectures about the relationship between the various given measurements and the number of possible triangle...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-sines-the-ambiguous-case
Law of Cosines
Students are introduced to the concept of the Law of Cosines. They will explore the concept graphically, numerically, and algebraically. They will discover the Law of Cosines at the conclusion of the activity using TI-Nspire CAS.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-cosines
