The mathematics that students learn from activities determines the activities' true value. Using two TI-Nspires and two Calculator Based Ranger 2s, collect data from each end of a ramp as we roll a can up the ramp and allow it to return. Then, discuss what questions we can ask students that will engage them in significant mathematical thinking.
