Proportionality in Tables, Graphs, and Equations
Learners create different methods to analyze their data. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to make their...

Dynagraphs
Students collect and graph their data. In this precalculus instructional activity, students identify the input and out of a function. They find the domain and range and the inverse of a function.

Multiply Boxplots
Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. For this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.

Percentiles
Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.
