Compound Interest
This activity for the TI-84 Plus CE family, involves exploring the formula for compound interest as a function of the initial deposit, interest rate, and the number of pay periods per year.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/compound-interest_84
Transformations of Logarithmic Functions - 84
This lesson involves the family of logarithmic functions of the form f(x) = c*logb(x+a).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-of-logarithmic-functions-@-ti@84
Shark Frenzy
Students examine equations in the family of linear functions which are of the form y = m x, each of which correspond to a different family of sharks. They relate the slope to the ratio of the shark’s fork length to its total length. When comparing two sharks of the same length, students con...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shark-frenzy

Get on the Stick
Students use a CBR 2™ to measure the reaction time of catching a stick. They also learn how to interpret a box plot and make a five number summary of a single variable data set.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-on-the-stick
Measure Up
Students compare their height with the average height of students in the classroom. They create histograms to analyze the data, and construct boxplots to summarize the height statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up_1
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - A Bit of Basic Blackjack
In "Double Down," three students are tied up in a money-laundering scheme involving money won in the card game blackjack. In this activity, we discuss a simplified version of blackjack and analyze the probability of winning in various situations. Because cards are drawn from the deck and not re...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--double-down--a-bit-of-basic-blackjack
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Killer Chat" - Stylometry

Stylometry, the practice of applying statistical an...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--killer-chat--stylometry
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
Chi-Squared Tests
In this activity, students will look at a problem situation that involves categorical data and will determine which is the appropriate chi-square test to use: the chi-squared goodness of fit or the chi-squared two-way test.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chisquare-distributions
Exploring Quadratic Data with Transformation Graphing
Students practice with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the curve. They use this concept to find a quadratic model. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-quadratic-data-with-transformation-graphing
Function of a Circle
Students use Cabri,Jr. to construct a circle and its radius, measure both the circumference and the radius, and then collect data showing the relationship between the two. Using the TI-Navigator students input their data into lists and see the scatterplot of the collected data displayed on a coo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-of-a-circle
Lines, Models, CBR - Let's Tie Them Together (Electronic Format Only)
In this activity, students use a motion detector to collect "linear" motion data and examine the relationship between a physical action and a mathematical and/or graphic model of that action. The students will use the "eyeball" method to find the mathematical model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lines-models-cbr--lets-tie-them-together-electronic-format-only
Function Notation
This StudyCards™ stack teaches the meaning of the notation f(x). Cards also address finding, for example, f(2) given f(x), and the connection to the point on the graph of f(x). Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, Ch. 3.1.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-notation
Determine Equation of Absolute Value Function Given 3 Noncollinear Points
Given 3-noncollinear points, find the absolute value that contains all 3 points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/determine-equation-of-absolute-value-function-given-3-noncollinear-points
Understanding the Linear Equation (Function Families)
I used this activity with my grade nines to assist their understanding of the parts of the equation y=mx+b.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/understanding-the-linear-equation-function-families
Investigating the Sine and Cosine Functions
Students use Cabri? Jr. to draw a circle and investigate the relationship between the coordinates of a point on the circle and sine and cosine of the angle whose terminal side passes through that point.
