The Pentagon Problem
This activity provides a simple, virtual "geoboard" that allows students to manipulate the polygon displayed on a unit grid. The grid squares provide a visual means of finding area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pentagon-problem
Comparing Double Line Graphs and Box Plots
Students are given a data table and are asked to look at the double-line graph to understand the trends that they observe in regards to indoor and drive-in movie theaters. They are then asked to investigate the trends that are presented to them when a box plot is created with the same data. Stud...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-double-line-graphs-and-box-plots
Exploring Functions
Students will explore functions and identify domain and range using graphs, equations, and function tables. This activity was created for students who have had a lesson of functions and have some basic knowledge of TI-Nspire technology.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-functions
Exploring the Normal Curve Family
Students will investigate the relationship of the equation of a normal curve to its graph. They will use a slider to change the values of two parameters, m and s, to investigate their effects on the normal curve, noting in particular that m represents the location of the mean and that s represent...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-normal-curve-family_1

SD: How Far is Typical?
This lesson involves gaining a basic understanding of what standard deviation is measuring by examining the location of data around the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sd--how-far-is-typical
Statistical Inference: Confidence Intervals
The students will construct 1-proportion confidence intervals. This lesson begins by having the students construct a confidence interval with the formula and then leads them through the steps needed to use the Nspire's statistical applications to construct confidence intervals. Students would do ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/statistical-inference-confidence-intervals
Finding Extraneous Solutions
Students will solve different types of equations step by step graphically. They will discover that some of the equations have an extraneous solution and they will investigate at which step in solving the equation that these "extra" solutions appear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-extraneous-solutions
Meaning of Power
In this lesson, samples are generated from a population for a particular hypothesis test, leading to the conjecture that the null hypothesis is actually false.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/meaning-of-power
Center of Mass
Students will identify and interpret the mean geometrically as the location of the coins on the ruler such that the sum of the distances on either side of the mean is the same.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/center-of-mass
Center and Spread
Students will recognize that the mean and standard deviation (SD) and the median and interquartile range (IQR) are two ways to measure center and spread.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/center-and-spread
Maximums, Minimums, and Zeroes
Determine when a function has a maximum or minimum based on the derivative of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximums-minimums-and-zeroes
MacLaurin Polynomials
Students will use TI-Nspire technology to explore MacLaurin polynomials. They will develop polynomials that approximate very special functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maclaurin-polynomials_1
Confidence Levels for Proportions
This activity involves generating a confidence interval for a population proportion from a random sample of size 100 and considering how certain one can be that this interval contains the actual population proportion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-proportions
Confidence Levels for Means
Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-means

Confidence Intervals for 2 Sample Proportions
Do senior citizens and college students have different memories about high school? The activity Confidence Intervals: 2-Sample Proportions involves investigating random samples from two populations from a large Midwestern city with respect to the question: "When you were in high school, did you h...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals-for-2-sample-proportions
Properties of Logarithms
Logarithms are just another way of writing exponents. Just like exponents, logarithms have properties that allow you to simplify expressions and solve equations. In this activity, students Will discover some of these properties by graphing and confirm them with algebra.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms
NASA - Space Shuttle Guidance, Navigation, and Control Data
In this activity, students will see how the position of the shuttle is deteremined and how the GNC officer ensures that the space shuttle arrives at its pre-determined destination as outlined by mission objectives.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-guidance-navigation-and-control-data
NASA - Space Shuttle Ascent
