There ar...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-formula-and-discriminant
Calculations at the Crazy Cookie Company
Performing matrix multiplication for the first time, students are prompted to use reasoning skills to determine if matrix products are possible for given pairs of matrices. The tutorial leads them through matrix product operations to find rules for matrix multiplication and predicting dimensions ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculations-at-the-crazy-cookie-company
Parallel Lines cut by a Transversal with Cabri Jr.
Using Cabri Jr, the students (with the teachers help) will create parallel lines cut by a transversal, measure angles, and compare the relationships of the angles formed using features of the Cabri Jr.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal-with-cabri-jr
Best Class
Students will 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/best-class

Linear Regression: Wing Span/Height
Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class compares the different equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression-wing-spanheight
Hypothesis Testing: Means
Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size at the five-percent significance level. The test statistic is found and compared to the critical value.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hypothesis-testing-means
How Random!
Students use simulations and graphs to explore the common sense notion that repeatedly flipping a coin results in "heads up" about half of the time. First, they simulate an experiment by representing single coin flips with random numbers. Next, they use a given formula to simulate multiple coin f...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-random_1
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree" - A Pursuit Curve Problem
In "Spree", two lovers have committed a series of crimes at various locations. Agents Eppes and Edgerton have plotted a map of their movements and have enlisted Charlie's help in trying to detect a pattern. Charlie says that the map shows only half of the story, and this pattern 'is a variation o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--spree--a-pursuit-curve-problem
Now You See It, Now You Don't - TI-83
