Cancer Clusters
Students will investigate cancer incidence rates in a number of states. Hypothesis testing is introduced and used along with a two-proportion z-test to compare cancer rates. This activity helps students to determine when a difference in data is actually statistically significant. This should enco...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cancer-clusters
But What Do You Mean?
In this activity, students learn about the concept of mean or average, in addition to learning several ways to find the mean on the TI-Nspire handheld (including using a spreadsheet and the mean command). Students also use these methods to find the mean when given the frequencies of each number i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/but-what-do-you-mean
Random Samples
Compare the results of the three estimation methods to show that random samples of rectangles provide estimates that, on average, are closer to the true population mean than the other two methods.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/random-samples
Combinations
This activity introduces students to combinations. They derive the formula for the number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time by starting with a list of permutations and eliminating those that name the same group, just in a different order. From here they see how the number of combinat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/combinations
Plane Mirrors
In this lesson, students will investigate the relationship between an object and its image in a plane mirror. Understanding how plane mirrors work provides a useful scaffold for understanding more complex situations, such as those involving concave and convex mirrors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/plane-mirrors
Sampling
Students learn about each of the four types of random sampling methods and use the randInt command to find each kind of sample from a given population.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling
To Replace or Not to Replace? That Is The Question
In this activity, students explore situations that involve compound events with and without replacement. They use different ways to conceptualize theoretical probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/to-replace-or-not-to-replace-that-is-the-question
The Spread of Disease
In this activity, students simulate the spread of a disease in a population. They use the Probability Simulation application to learn that certain sums occur more often than others because of combinations of addends of those sums.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-spread-of-disease
A Move in the Right Direction
Students physically provide motion data that is collected by a CBL™ and then graph the data. They determine if they "moved in the right directions" by comparing their graph with those printed in the activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-move-in-the-right-direction
Depreciation
In this activity, students perform computations involving depreciation of assets. They will study methods such as Straight line depreciation, Sum of the digits method and Double declining balance depreciation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/depreciation
Repeating Elevens
Students compute multiples of 11, 111, 1111, and so forth, search for patterns in the products, and write generalizations of those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/repeating-elevens
Magic Nines
Students compute multiples of 9, 99, 999, and so forth, search for patterns in the products, and write generalizations of those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/magic-nines
What Makes a Food Nutritional?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritional
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways

Students view graphs of absolute value inequalities, compare them to those of compound inequalities, and practice writing absolute value inequalities as compound inequalities. They solve absolute value inequalities a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolutely
Common Denominator
In this activity, students will use an interactive model that multiplies the fraction by "1" to help determine the common denominator. Then they will use what they have learned to add and subtract fractions without the same denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/common-denominator_1
