Tides of Yaquina Bay
Students will use real data to determine average low and high tideshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tides-of-yaquina-bay
Linear Functions using the CBL 2™

How Many States Have You Visited?
This is a beginner activity for students using the TI-84. Students will collect data from the class and create a Box & Whisker plot based on how many States students have visited. This is easy for the teacher to learn, and steps are relatively easy for students that are new to using 'stat plots...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-states-have-you-visited
Ellipses with center at (h, k)
Students will put the equations of an ellipse with center at (h, k) in standard form. Identify the center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, length of diamter axis, and length of the minor diameter. They will graph the ellipses.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ellipses-with-center-at-h-k
Introducing Families of Functions
Students will be able to identify important characteristics of specific function families. This activity focuses on linear and quadratic functions, but can be easily adapted to work with any family.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-families-of-functions
Exponential Growth Experiment
Students will work in pairs and will conduct a growth experiment. They will record their answers for 7 to 10 trials. They will make a scatterplot of their data and share their graphs with the class.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth-experiment
"Snail Mail" Postal Rate History
This is a listing of the First Class Postal Rates for students to create a scatter plot and appropriate model. It generates good discussion as to which data is appropriate which changes models from exponential to linear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/snail-mail-postal-rate-history
Survey Project
Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/survey-project
Data Analysis: Home Runs in Major League Baseball
This activity provides an opportunity to collect data from the internet, and perform data analysis employing capabilities of the TI-83/84.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-home-runs-in-major-league-baseball
Approximation of Pi Using Statistical Testing
Students will use a Monte Carlo method to collect data. This data, along with an area model of pi, will be used to approximate pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi-using-statistical-testing
Measures of Central Tendency Activity: Height of the Class
The purpose of this lesson is to have students create a box and whiskers plot from collecting class data of each person's height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measures-of-central-tendency-activity-height-of-the-class
Using Vases to Help Understand What Graphs Mean
Students will predict what the graph will look like for different vases as they are filled with water. Then students will use the vases of different shapes and fill them with a set amount of water before each measurement. Students then measure the height of the water in the vase (their y-interc...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-vases-to-help-understand-what-graphs-mean
Constructing Quadrilaterals
In this activity, students will construct different types of quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy. This activity asks for constructions based on a minimal definition of the quadrilateral. The activity will reinforce the difference between a construction and a drawing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-quadrilaterals
Polynomial Addition, Subtraction
