Shark Frenzy

Students examine equations in the family of linear functions which are of the form y = m x, each of which correspond to a different family of sharks. They relate the slope to the ratio of the shark’s fork length to its total length. When comparing two sharks of the same length, students con...

Is an equilateral triangle a special case of isosceles?

The definition of isosceles triangle can determine whether an equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for which definition makes the most sense. Along the way, they get experience with a perpendicular bisector, me...

Is a square a special case of rectangle?

The definition of square can determine whether it is a special case of a rectangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for why its definition makes sense. Along the way, they get experience with perpendiculars, parallels, measuring lengths, and an informal look at the inte...

Parabolic Hoops

In this coding activity for the TI-84 Plus CE Python, students will create a virtual basketball court.  Using the location of the hoop and the vertex, the shooter will calculate the amplitude, a, needed to “Swish” nothing but net!

Fraction Tic Tac Toe

In this TI-84 Plus CE Python coding activity, students will create a fraction based, tic tac toe game using Python and mathematics.

Putt Putt with Python

In this coding activity for the TI-84 Plus CE Python edition, students will create a golf game.  The golf game gives the user two random points, one for the golf ball and one for the golf hole.  The user will enter a value for the slope.

Inference for Two-way Tables

Students use the chi-square test to analyze whether two categorical variables are independent or dependent calculating expected frequencies, the test statistic and the critical values.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inference-for-twoway-tables

Inference for Correlation and Regression

In this activity, students test if a significant relationship exists between a bivariate data set, and then calculate the confidence and predictive intervals. They also improve the interval-prediction capabilities by automating the process.

Independence is the Word

Students use a simulation to find the experimental probability of independent events.

Shortest Distance Problem

This is a great follow-up to the Introduction to Properties in Reflections. Students may have trouble producing a scaled drawing. Using a scale of 1 to 5 works well. See the figure below for a possible scaled construction.

Similar Figures

In this activity, students investigate the properties of similar triangles.

Law of Large Numbers: Adding It Up

In this activity, students examine the relationship between relative frequency and theoretical probability to understand the Law of Large Numbers. They will explore the concept of independent events. They will also discern the difference between relative and cumulative frequencies.

Perimeter and Area of a Square

Students study the perimeter and area of a square, and explore the relationship between them and the length of the side of the square.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perimeter-and-area-of-a-square

Law of Large Numbers: A Weighty Decision

In this activity, students will explore the Law of Large Numbers. By examining unfair models, they will expand their understanding of probability. They predict the weighting of an unfair model by analyzing experimental data and distributions. They will also formulate and test a hypothesis on the ...

Perimeter of a Rectangel with Fixed Area

Students will investigate the relationship between the base of a rectangle with area of 35 or 36 and its perimeter.

Percentiles - IB

The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile. In doing so, students will learn how to use the Normal CDF and Inverse Normal commands on t...

Perimeters, Areas, and Slopes - Oh, My!

Students create geometric figures, and use analytic and coordinate geometry to investigate their attributes. They go through the process of proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Sharpshooter

It is believed that an unusually high occurrence of cancer in a small area may represent a "cancer cluster." Because this is rare, it is more likely to be a case of "Texas Sharpshooting." For example, suppose a person randomly shoots a gun several times at the side of a barn and draws a circle ar...
