The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-systems-at-the-races
How Many States Have You Visited?
This is a beginner activity for students using the TI-84. Students will collect data from the class and create a Box & Whisker plot based on how many States students have visited. This is easy for the teacher to learn, and steps are relatively easy for students that are new to using 'stat plots...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-states-have-you-visited
Introduction to Absolute Value
Students numerically explore absolute values using the calculator, plot points to graph y = |x|, and use the Transform application to perform transformations with absolute value functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-absolute-value_1
Radical Transformations
Students will use the Transformational Graphing application to examine how the square root function is transformed on the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radical-transformations
The Discovery of Pi
The Discovery of Pi With Cabri Jr., and hands on materials Students will measure the diameter and circumference of various round objects and compare them to determine pi. They will then perform this acivity again utilizing the Cabri Jr. App on the TI 84 Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-discovery-of-pi
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
Transformations With Lists
Students use list operations to perform reflections, rotations, translations and dilations on a figure, and graph the resulting image using a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-with-lists
Midpoints in the Coordinate Plane
Beginning with horizontal or vertical segments, students show the coordinates of the endpoints and make a conjecture about the coordinates of the midpoint.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midpoints-in-the-coordinate-plane_1
Hide and Seek on the Coordinate Plane
The activity is designed as an introduction to the activity center on TI-Navigator™. Prior to the activity students should have covered graphing points on the coordinate plane, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers, as well as absolute value and comparing and ordering integers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hide-and-seek-on-the-coordinate-plane
Exterior & Remote Interior Angles
Students investigate an exterior angle and its two remote interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exterior--remote-interior-angles_1
Hypothesis Testing: Means
Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size at the five-percent significance level. The test statistic is found and compared to the critical value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hypothesis-testing-means
Law of Large Numbers: A Weighty Decision
In this activity, students will explore the Law of Large Numbers. By examining unfair models, they will expand their understanding of probability.

The three factors are weighted differently in different parts of the race. They compare the experimental and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/off-to-the-races
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
