Intersecting the Solutions
In this teacher-led activity, students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically. They will learn the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions and create equations that draw upon this connection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solutions
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
How Many Solutions?
Students graph systems of linear functions to determine the number of solutions. In the investigation, students are given one line and challenged to draw a second line that creates a system with a particular number of solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-solutions
Are They Truly Random?
Students will develop lists of random numbers generated by the TI-Nspire handheld. They will explore their set of numbers and engage in a discussion of whether the random number generator is truly generating numbers at random. In addition, students will look at statistical models of their num...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-they-truly-random
MVT for Integrals
Demonstrate how the average value of a function over an interval is related to the definite integral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mvt-for-integrals
Half-Life
Students will explore exponential decay through an experiment and use the gathered data to generate an exponential regression equation. Students will then repeat the process with a data set and forecast future results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/halflife

In this activity, you will explore the relationship between the complex roots of a quadratic equation and the related parabola's graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/complex-roots-a-graphical-solution
Areas In Intervals
Students use several methods to determine the probability of a given normally distributed value being in a given interval. First, they use the Integral tool to find areas under the curve and to the left of given values. Students continue the activity to find probabilities for which the correspond...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/areas-in-intervals
But What Do You Mean?
In this activity, students learn about the concept of mean or average, in addition to learning several ways to find the mean on the TI-Nspire handheld (including using a spreadsheet and the mean command). Students also use these methods to find the mean when given the frequencies of each number i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/but-what-do-you-mean
