Binomial simulation using TI-83+ or TI-84+ graphing calculators. Students will use the Probability Simulation application on the calculator to simulate Eric Gordon shooting free throws. TI-Navigator™ instructions are also included.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-simulation-lab--using-probsim-app
Move it
In this activity, students investigate transformation, slides and scaling, of a triangle using lists. They will add, subtract and multiply numbers to the list and describe the changes that have occurred. Students are to make the connection between changing the x- or y-values and the transformation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-it
Exploring Platonic Solids

This activity uses Cabri Jr. to classify triangles according to the length of their sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/classifying-triangles-by-the-length-of-the-sides-using-cabri-jr
Parametric Equations
We express most graphs as a single equation which involves two variables, x and y. By using parametric mode on the calculator you may use three variables to represent a curve. The third variable is t, time. (Topics - parametric functions)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parametric-equations
Identifying Types of Correlation from a Graph and Calculator
Students will identify different types of correlations graphically and by using the linear regression analysis obtained from a TI-84 Plus calculator. Students will also obtain and know the significance of a correlation coefficient as a result of this lesson.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/identifying-types-of-correlation-from-a-graph-and-calculator
Home for the Holidays
