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
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
Graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form
See attachedhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-linear-equations-in-slopeintercept-form

Students stretch and translate the parabola given by y = x2 and determine the effects on the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-the-quads
Arithmetic Sequences & Series
Students use formulas to find the differences of the consecutive terms, plot a scatter plot of each sequence, and determine that sequences with common differences (called arithmetic sequences) have scatter plots whose points form a straight line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arithmetic-sequences--series_1
Circle Product Theorems
Students will use dynamic models to find patterns. These patterns are the Chord-Chord, Secant-Secant, and Secant-Tangent Theorems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-product-theorems

This activity will explore operations on integers with a focus on different vocabulary used to describe changes in signs and changes in operations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/operations-of-signed-numbers-focus-on-vocabulary
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
Inference for Two-way Tables
Students use the chi-square test to analyze whether two categorical variables are independent or dependent calculating expected frequencies, the test statistic and the critical values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inference-for-twoway-tables
Shortest Distance Between Points and Lines
This activity investigates concepts such as the shortest distance between two points in a plane, and the shortest distance between a line and a point not on the line. The analytical explanation of these concepts is supported with visual illustrations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distance-between-points-and-lines
One- and Two-Variable Statistics--Review
Students review one-variable topics such as graphing quantitative variables, calculating measures of central tendency and spread, and making comparisons.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-and-twovariable-statisticsreview
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Sharpshooter
...g." For example, suppose a person randomly shoots a gun several times at the side of a barn and draws a circle around the holes that are closest to each other. Since they fit in a 'cluster,' the person declares himself to be a Texas Sharpshooter. Students will examine and simulate Texas Sharpshoo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--sharpshooter
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
Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment
Students learn to draw a segment and its perpendicular bisector. They understand right angles and congruent segments. Students observe that changing the length or orientation of the segment changes the perpendicular bisector. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-bisector-of-a-line-segment
Perpendicular Segments in a Circle
Students learn about chords of a circle. They draw a line perpendicular to the chord and passing through the center of the circle. They explore the lengths of the two segments of the chord. They investigate with a different chord and with different sized circles. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: A...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-segments-in-a-circle
Parallel Lines Cut By A Transversal
In this activity, students learn and increase their knowledge about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric re...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal_1
Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Using Activity Center, students can move on a picture of a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer teacher questions related to the picture. The picture is set up so that it is on the screen of the student calculator as well as the classroom display.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal
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."
