NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration
In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion. In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--rampage--i---it---itera---iteration

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Harvest" - Markov Chain Links
In "Harvest," Charlie is trying to identify possible destinations and unrecorded routes of an ambulance driver suspected of transporting stolen organs. Charlie tells Colby that they can use a Hidden Markov Model to help narrow down these possibilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--harvest--markov-chain-links
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - That's So Random
In "Double Down," three college students attempt to get an edge in a casino card game by analyzing the mechanical randomization process used to shuffle the cards. As Charlie explains, the auto-shuffler relies on an algorithm to deal the cards in random order. The students are able to crack the al...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--double-down--thats-so-random
Fractions Number Line
A number line showing equivalent fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-number-line
Equations of Circles
In this activity, students will explore the relationship among the location of the center of the circle, the radius of a circle, and the equation of a circle in a plane. They will also investigate the relationship between the points inside, on, and outside a circle, and the equation of the circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equations-of-circles_1
Fractions to Decimal Form
This program and activity sheets allow teachers and students to explore both terminated and repeating decimal forms of any fraction (within limits). This version 1.0 allows for one conversion but can be rerun indefinitely.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-to-decimal-form
Multiple choice questions on Locus of points
Students use StudyCards(tm) to answer multiple choice questions about points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiple-choice-questions-on-locus-of-points
Points in the Coordinate Plane
In this activity, students will use the Cabri™ Jr. Application to explore the coordinate system.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-in-the-coordinate-plane
Organized Guess and Check using CellSheet
Students will use the APP CellSheet to aid in answering a typical guess and test problem. The activity will help in their organizational ability as well as with cell sheet usage. Their answers will be shared using Navigatorhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/organized-guess-and-check-using-cellsheet
Vertical Angles
In this activity, students visualize and explore the angles that are formed when two lines intersect. By measuring angles formed by intersecting lines, they enhance their understanding of vertical angles, supplementary angles, and a linear pair.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-angles
Give Me a Hand or Leaf Me Alone - TI-83
In this activity, students find the surface area of geometric shapes cut from card paper and relate it to its mass. They use this data to find the surface area of irregularly shaped objects.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/give-me-a-hand-or-leaf-me-alone--ti83
A Move in the Right Direction
Students physically provide motion data that is collected by a CBL™ and then graph the data. They determine if they "moved in the right directions" by comparing their graph with those printed in the activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-move-in-the-right-direction
Handy Reflections
The purpose of this investigation is to: Revise plotting points on the Cartesian plane Use and understand aspect ratios Improve estimation skills Use a spreadsheet or a graphing calculator to draw a graph Learn how to reflect lines and points in the x & y axis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/handy-reflections
Calculating Sale Prices
In this activity, students will find discounts and sale prices for items selling at 20% off and 40% off by using tables. They will then find the general rules, using a variable, for finding those discounts and prices.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-sale-prices
It's a Bug's Temp
Uses information provided in a table to determine what if any relationship exists between the air temperature and the temperature of an insect.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/its-a-bugs-temp
