Stacking Bricks - 84
This activity presents a real-world situation--stacking bricks in a pile--that can be modeled by a polynomial function. Students create a small table to show how the number of bricks relates to the number of rows, and calculate the first, second, and third differences of the data. Next they use t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stacking-bricks

Reflections over the Axes
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are reflected over the x-axis or the y-axis. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-over-the-axes
Special Segments in Triangles
Students will construct and explore medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles. They then drag the vertices to see where the intersections of the segments lie in relation to the triangle, and they measure distances to identify relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-segments-in-triangles_2
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion
Graph My Center
Students create a box plot or histogram. They will find measures of central tendency and identify which best describes the data set.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graph-my-center
Goodness-Of-Fit
Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit
Percentiles & Z-Scores
Students calculate percentiles, z-scores, and probabilities using normal distributions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles--zscores
Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Students will develop and strengthen their knowledge about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. The measurement tool helps them discover the relationships between and among the various angles in the figure. Students will draw parallel lines, draw a transversal, and expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal_2
Population Mean: σ unknown
Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/population-mean--σ-unknown
SSS Triangle Congruence
Students will: 1. Construct a triangle and measure its sides and angles. 2. Construct a second triangle with corresponding sides equal in length. 3. Try to alter the properties of their construction by moving the vertices.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sss-triangle-congruence
Tiles in a Bag
How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24 tiles some blue and some green. A green tile is considered a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Stretching Slinkies
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to explore the TI-84 graphing calculator in conjunction with Microsoft Excel®.

They will either: enter data into Microsoft Excel to synch with the TI-84, OR, enter da...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-slinkies
Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are rotated in the coordinate plane by 90 or 180 degrees, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rotations-in-the-coordinate-plane
