While solving equations, many students make ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solve-me--multistep-equations
Goodness-Of-Fit
Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions. Students will work through two problems, one in which the theoretical proportions of each category are the same and one in which they are not. Students will use spreadsheets to calculate test statistics and the I...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit_1
Square it Up!
Students investigate the method of least squares by adding the squares to a scatter plot and moving a line to find the minimum sum. Then they compare their line to the built-in linear regression model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-it-up
Finding Extraneous Solutions
