Comparing Pi's and Roots
This lesson involves manipulating the radius of a circle and the sides of a right triangle in an attempt to set the circumference of the circle equal to the hypotenuse of the right trianglehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-pis-and-roots
Comparing Double Line Graphs and Box Plots
Students are given a data table and are asked to look at the double-line graph to understand the trends that they observe in regards to indoor and drive-in movie theaters. They are then asked to investigate the trends that are presented to them when a box plot is created with the same data. Stud...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-double-line-graphs-and-box-plots
Exploring Functions
Students will explore functions and identify domain and range using graphs, equations, and function tables. This activity was created for students who have had a lesson of functions and have some basic knowledge of TI-Nspire technology.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-functions

Effective Blocking
This lesson involves investigating the effectiveness of two mosquito sprays in a large tract of land by using three different experimental designs - one randomized design and two randomized block designs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/effective-blocking
Slope - Confidence Interval and Hypothesis Test
This lesson involves investigating the confidence interval and hypothesis test for the slope of a regression line.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope--confidence-interval-and-hypothesis-test
