NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Traffic" - What is Random
In "Traffic", Charlie lectures about randomness, explaining that 'our brains misperceive evenness as random and wrongly assume that groupings are deliberate'.

Using Cabri Geometry to Create Fractals
With Cabri™ Geometry Jr. you never need to leave your classroom! The use of fractals can help understand the concepts of fractals and prepare for the HSPA. There are 2 separate activities to do in the classroom with the answers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-cabri-geometry-to-create-fractals
Angles Formed By Parallel Lines
Students will use Cabri Jr. to construct parallel lines and transversals. They will make conjectures about the angles that are formed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-formed-by-parallel-lines
Tangents from the same exterior point with CABRI JR.
Use Cabri™ Jr. to discover what happens when we have two tangents from the same exterior point. After students investigate with Cabri Jr. they have a questions and a flow-proof to complete.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tangents-from-the-same-exterior-point-with-cabri-jr

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "All's Fair" - Guess My Type or Lose
In "All's Fair," Charlie attempts to use social image typology to analyze motivations and strategies to determine which person(s) would be most likely to commit a terrorist act. With social image typology, one can study why people make decisions that they do. Based on what they know about each su...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--alls-fair--guess-my-type-or-lose
