Finding the Minimal Path to Put Out a Fire

A camper (at position A) must quickly put out a campfire (at position B). The river is represented by the horizontal line segment CD passing through point P. Where should point P be positioned on the river so that the camper will travel the shortest (minimal) path from point A, to the river at po...

Investigating the Angles of a Triangle

The following will find the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and the sum of the remote interior angles of a triangle. Students can then change the type of triangle. The student will see that the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees. Also, the student will see that the sum of t...

Comparing Two Means

In this activity, students will test hypotheses concerning means of two populations. They calculate the test statistic and the critical values and then graph the critical region and plot the value of the test statistic.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-two-means_1

Confidence Levels for Means

Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.
