Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control

Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios_1
Finite Differences
Investigate the sets of finite differences for linear and quadratic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finite-differences
What is Log?
In this activity, students will solve simple logarithmic equations and verify solutions using the corresponding exponential equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-log
Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball
How High Will it Bounce?
Students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They also learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value of a parabola, analyze and find an exponential regression for the rebou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-high-will-it-bounce

Exploring Hyperbolas
Students will explore the hyperbola by investigating links between its standard equation form and its graph. They will also discover the center and the focal lengths of the hyperbola as well as see applications of the hyperbola in the real world.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hyperbolas
Motorcycle Jump
Students will explore quadratic functions in the form of a motorcycle jumping off of a ramp. Students will maximize the height of the jump and the airtime of the jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motorcycle-jump
Discriminating Against the Zero
In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no real zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should then follow up with a formal discussion on the discriminant.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discriminating-against-the-zero
Exploring Higher Degree Polynomials
Investigate graphical and algebraic representations of a polynomial function and its linear factors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-higher-degree-polynomials
Modeling Probabilities
This activity approaches probability distributions as functions taking information about a dataset as inputs and outputting a set of probabilities. This is analogous to the familiar process of choosing a function to model a set of x-y pairs. Students use simulations to explore increasing number o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-probabilities_1
Orbit Of Jupiter
This activity explores models for the elliptical orbit of Jupiter. Problem 1 reviews the geometric definition of an ellipse as students calculate a and b from the perihelion and aphelion of Jupiter.
