Building a Garden Fence
In this activity, students will use basic concepts of perimeter and area to investigate a classic problem situation requiring maximization. They must decide how to build a garden fence to enclose the largest possible area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-a-garden-fence
Compound Interest: Show Me the Money
This is an activity at the conclusion of the exponential relationship unit where students have experience with equations in the form y=a*b^x. Students use the random integer function on the TI-83 Plus to generate a rate of return for the investment profile they choose.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/compound-interest-show-me-the-money
Box Plots and Histograms
Students 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/box-plots-and-histograms
Snowflake Points
Students will connect the centers of snowflakes with a line preferably by applying the point-slope formula.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/snowflake-points

Quadratic Equations with the CBL 2
Students will generate parabolas using the motion sensor. They will then determine the vertex form of the equation and compare it to the regression equation from the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quadratic-equations-with-the-cbl-2
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
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
