Solving Problems Using Trigonometry
Solving real life problem using trig ratios. Example: Finding the angle of elevation or the angle of depression. Finding the angle between two lines. Finding equation of a line that passes through two points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-problems-using-trigonometry
Voronoi Diagrams
In this TI-84 family activity, students will create Voronoi Diagrams and apply them to real world scenarios.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/voronoi-diagrams_84
Tiles in a Bag
How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24 tiles some blue and some green. A green tile is considered a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Tri This!
Students investigate linear equations that form a triangle and determine which vertex is a solution to a system of equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tri-this
Building a Garden Fence
In this activity, students will use basic concepts of perimeter and area to investigate a classic problem situation requiring maximization. They must decide how to build a garden fence to enclose the largest possible area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-a-garden-fence
Going Into Business
Students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-into-business
Tessellations
Students will explore tessellations of triangles and quadrilaterals. They will use the transformation tools of symmetry, reflections, rotations, and/or translations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tessellations
Inference for Correlation and Regression
In this activity, students test if a significant relationship exists between a bivariate data set, and then calculate the confidence and predictive intervals. They also improve the interval-prediction capabilities by automating the process.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inference-for-correlation-and-regression
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Sharpshooter
It is believed that an unusually high occurrence of cancer in a small area may represent a "cancer cluster." Because this is rare, it is more likely to be a case of "Texas Sharpshooting." For example, suppose a person randomly shoots a gun several times at the side of a barn and draws a circle ar...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
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - Outliers
In "Take Out," Amita and Charlie help the FBI track financial transfers from the US to Mexico . There are so many transfers that it is difficult to find the specific transfer. Charlie explains that it is 'a matter of using a target-specific optimization model. Something called Outlier Detection.'...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--outliers
Forecasting
Students use regression to forecast values from a data. They study exponential smoothing. They also use the program FORECAST to automate a multiplicative model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forecasting
Fitting an Equation to Bivariate Data
In this activity, students fit a linear least-square regression line to a population data. They explore various functions to model the given data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fitting-an-equation-to-bivariate-data

Estimating and Finding Confidence Intervals
In this activity, students estimate statistical measures and find confidence intervals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-and-finding-confidence-intervals
Heads Up! (continued)
In this activity, students explore how to write and enter a calculator program that will simulate coin tossing for a given number of times and count the number of heads and tails. They analyze the program and modify it.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heads-up-continued
Heads Up!
In this activity, students study some important concepts of probability. They use coin tossing experiments to determine the probability of a tossed coin coming up heads. They examine both short and long term experimental probabilities and their relationship to the theoretical probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heads-up
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Longshot" - Not So Great Expectations
In "Longshot," Charlie explains that the racetrack uses a pari-mutual betting system - the odds of winning vary with the amount bet on each horse. This system not only calculates proportional payoffs for the bettors, but also guarantees a profit for the racetrack owners by removing a percentage o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--longshot--not-so-great-expectations
