NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Killer Chat" - The Perfect House
The FBI found three bodies in different unoccupied houses, all for sale. Because the victims are completely unrelated, Charlie decides that profiling the houses might reveal a distinct pattern to find out where the killer will strike next. By using a Multi-Attribute Compositional Model, the house...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--killer-chat--the-perfect-house
Number and Operation Sense: Whole Numbers
Students attain a basic understanding of numbers and number operations, developing number sense, and gaining fluency in arithmetic computation. They also learn to use the calculator to explore the mathematical principles behind the standard multiplication algorithm for multidigit numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-and-operation-sense-whole-numbers
Names for One-Half
Students use their understanding of integers, fractions, decimals, and operations to find mathematical expressions that equal one-half.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/names-for-onehalf
Calculator Pattern Pizzles
This lesson will allow young children to explore number patterns and relationships while introducing the calculator at the same time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculator-pattern-pizzles
Area Patterns
Students investigate patterns in ordered pairs generated by constructing a sequence of similar shapes. They will then use the patterns and the calculator to predict the number of blocks it will take to build a specific shape in the sequence.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-patterns
Analyzing Number Cube Sums
Students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not necessarily equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-number-cube-sums
Action-Packed Subtraction Patterns
Students learn to use manipulatives and calculators to explore what happens when they change one number at a time in a subtraction number sentence. They record and develop the pattern that develops.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-subtraction-patterns
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Describing Categorical Data - Advanced Placement
Students categorize data using tables and bar charts. They also determine relative frequencies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/describing-categorical-data--advanced-placement
Special Cases of Normally Distributed Data
Students perform single and two-sample t procedures to investigate special cases of normally distributed data. They explore inference for a least-square regression line, including the confidence interval.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-cases-of-normally-distributed-data
What's the Spin?
Students discover properties of rotations using the TI-89 and CABRI Geometry II by rotating a triangle around a point and through a specified angle. They will discover the definition of a rotation. (Topic -- Rotations and their relation to reflect)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-spin
