Move Those Chains
In this activity, students will explore the Chain Rule. Students are asked to make a conjecture of the derivative of f(x) = (2x + 1)2 based on the Power Rule. They are then asked to graph their derivative function and compare it to the graph of f´(x). They will then examine "true" statements abou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-those-chains
Are They Truly Random?
Students will develop lists of random numbers generated by the TI-Nspire handheld.

Hypothesis Testing: Means
Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size using the test statistic and the critical value. They also find the area under the curve to find the p value. Then, students will see how the result would change if they used a one-percent significance level or smaller sample size. An op...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hypothesis-testing-means_1
