Students will explore Bernoulli probabilities. They will use them to calculate the probabilities of various single and cumulative events. They will also explore the Bernoulli probability distribution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many
Transforming Relationships
In this activity, students will assess the strength of a linear relationship using a residual plot.

Students will then learn to transform one or two variables in the relationship to creat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-relationships_1
Tootsie Pops & Hand Span
Students will collect data, find the linear regression model of the data, and address aspects of the data that affect regression.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tootsie-pops--hand-span
Probability Distributions
Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_2
Population Mean: σ unknown
Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/population-mean-σ-unknown
NASA - Spacewalk Training
In this activity, students will plot data, looks at patterns, and draw conclusions given a real-world context of astronauts training in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, TX.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--spacewalk-training
Means With Confidence
Students estimate the true mean of a population when the standard deviation is known by finding the sample mean, margin of error and confidence interval.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/means-with-confidence_1
Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions
Compare data from two different scenarios -- linear and exponential growth.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-linear-and-exponential-functions_1
Catching the Rays
Students will fit a sinusoidal function to a set of data. The data are the number of hours of daylight starting January 1st and collected on the first and sixteenth days of the months in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/catching-the-rays
Comparing Linear and Exponential Data
Compare a linear and an exponential relationship.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-linear-and-exponential-data
Box Plots & Histograms
Students create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots--histograms
Binomial Probability in Baseball
In this activity, students will explore the link between Pascal's Triangle, the Binomial Theorem, and binomial probability experiments.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probability-in-baseball
Motorcycle Tire Balancing
In this activity, students will explore linear and angular velocities and the relationship between them. This exploration is based on using a spin balancer to balance motorcycle tires of different sizes. Since a spin balancer rotates at a constant velocity, the linear and angular velocities of th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-tire-balancing
Modeling Situations Using Piecewise Functions
In this activity, the students use piecewise functions to describe and model everyday situations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-situations-using-piecewise-functions
Area of a Triangle
The student will use three methods for finding the area of a triangle. They will find the area using the determinant of a matrix, two sides and the included angle (trig) and Heron's formula (three sides).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-a-triangle
NASA - Rendezvous For Two
When the space shuttle launches from NASA Kennedy Space Center, it must launch within a certain time frame (called a launch window) in order to successfully dock with the ISS. Launch windows are calculated so that the space shuttle will reach an orbit that is slightly lower than the ISS, but in t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--rendezvous-for-two
