If life hands you LemonHeads, make math problems!

The ability to display and analyze data is a crucial skill in today's world, and the TI-Nspire CX or CXII makes it easy for your math students to master! This step-by-step instruction sheet (8 pages), shows them several ways to calculate the statistical values that middle grades students need to understand: mean, median, mode, the five-number summary, and mean absolute deviation (MAD). Also included are links to resources for other related activities. Note: this is one section of my "Graphing, S

Creating colorful bar graph and pie/circle graphs is easy on a TI-Nspire! Your students can create and customize graphs, and analyze their data. Understanding data is a crucial skill in today's world, and this step-by-step instruction sheet will help them learn to do it with today's technology.
