Geometric Distributions
Students simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die to determine experimental probabilities and calculate theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-distributions_1
Density Curves
Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control
Perms and Combs?
Review of the vocabulary and concepts of factorials, combinations, and permutations. Students use built-in commands to evaluate the expressions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perms-and-combs_1

Texas Instruments challenges students to design solutions that improve everyday life
...ents to design solutions that improve everyday life Enter the TI Codes Contest today to win prizes and finish the school year on top DALLAS – (March 20, 2018) Today, Texas Instruments (TI) issued a coding challenge for students: develop a solution using TI education technology that helps improve ...https://education.ti.com/en/about/press-center/3-20-2018-ti-codes-contest
Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios_1
Common Core Nuggets: Geometry
These are a series of short, interactive LUA applets that help students grasp the important ideas of specific indicators in the Common Core Curriculum. This collection contains applets that will help teachers implement Common Core Geometry Standard G-GPE 1, 3 for High School Mathematics. There ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-core-nuggets-geometry
Walk the Line - 84
This activity will introduce the Calculator-Based Ranger™ 2 motion sensor and the Vernier EasyData® app. Students will collect data and analyze both linear and non-linear data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walk-the-line_84
NASA - Diving Down Deep
In this activity, students will explore a method for adding air to a gas cylinder diving tank, and determine the amount of gas needed by a support diver during a diving session.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--diving-down-deep
Sound of the Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students will develop a mathematical model that is based on the time interval of the sound the ball makes on impact between consecutive bounces. They will then use the model to predict how long the ball would (theoretically) bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sound-of-the-bouncing-ball
Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
