Chords and Circles
Students will begin this activity by exploring how the chord in a circle is related to its perpendicular bisector. Investigation will include measuring lengths and distances from the center of the circle. These measurements will then be transferred to a graph to see the locus of the intersection ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chords-and-circles

Geometric Series
Students will use TI-Nspire™ technology to explore infinite geometric series and the partial sums of geometric series. The students will also determine the limits of these sequences and series using tables and graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-series
Tossing Coins
In this activity, students will use a simulation to find the experimental probability of independent events, tossing two coins. They will find the sample space and then compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tossing-coins
Does a Correlation Exist?
In this activity, students will determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient. Then, they will find the linear regression equation and calculate the correlation coefficient. They will use this line to predict the value of y for a given x and vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/does-a-correlation-exist
Riemann Sums
Visualize values for different Riemann sums and use these values to estimate the area of a region.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/riemann-sums
7 Calculator Functions Your Students Need | Texas Instruments

Nuclear Binding Energy
Students explore the energy that results from the strong force in nuclei. The activity begins with the unexpected result that the mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In Part 2 of the activity, students analyze a graph to determine the r...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-binding-energy
Human Body Assessment
This TI-Nspire™ question set (.tns) has assessment questions relating to Biology: Human Body.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/human-body-assessment
Nspired Crossword NC
This activity is designed for students completely new to TI-nspire. No mathematical knowledge is required to complete this task. Students complete a crossword puzzle where the clues relate to application menus and the answers are the menu items. The activity helps students navigate TI-Nspire and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nspired-crossword-nc
Nuclear Decay and Chain Reactions
Students determine the decay constant and half-life and begin to look at nuclear fission by simulating a chain reaction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nuclear-decay-and-chain-reactions
Polarization of Light
Students use data collected during a lab to explore the relationship between polarized light and light intensity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polarization-of-light
Discrimination of Parabolas
Students manipulate progressively more flexible parabolas whilst a ‘special number’ is displayed on the screen. The problem for students to solve is ‘what is so special about this number’. Students continually review their conjectures as the parabola becomes more and more flexible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discrimination-of-parabolas
Light and Waves
Students explore the interference patterns of waves formed by two point sources. Students are able to collect data and draw conclusions about the nodal lines formed by the interference.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-and-waves
Give Me Five
This activity explores the calculations of the five figure summary: {min, Q1, median, Q3 and max}. How is an outlier determined? What is positive / negative skew? By physically dragging the maximum point students can determine when the whisker ‘breaks’ and an outlier is created. T...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/give-me-five
Light Intensity
Students investigate the relationship between light intensity and distance with a flashlight. They use the collected data to identify a mathematical model for the relationship. They then compare this model with the inverse-square law for an ideal point source.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-intensity
Magnetic Field of a Coil - Data Collection
In this lesson, students will explore the proportional relationship between the magnetic flux density at the center of a long, electrically charged coil and the strength of the electrical current.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/magnetic-field-of-a-coil--data-collection
