Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intro-to-the-central-limit-theorem
Candy Pieces
Students use a chi-square test for goodness-of-fit to determine if there is a significant difference between the proportions they find in the sample, and the proportions they would expect if the manufacturer produced equal proportions of each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/candy-pieces
Difference Between Two Proportions
Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/difference-between-two-proportions
Analyzing Variance (ANOVA)
Students analyze variances of various data samples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-variance-anova
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - That's So Random
In "Double Down," three college students attempt to get an edge in a casino card game by analyzing the mechanical randomization process used to shuffle the cards. As Charlie explains, the auto-shuffler relies on an algorithm to deal the cards in random order. The students are able to crack the al...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--double-down--thats-so-random
Math TODAY: Wing Tabs Save Fuel
Using the USA TODAY® Infograph, 'Wing Tabs Save Fuel,' ratios and proportions will be used to explore the concept of similarity between a drawing/model and the actual dimensions. The effects of dilation (size change) on an image and pre-image will also be explored. In addition, students will look...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/math-today-wing-tabs-save-fuel
Multiple choice questions on Locus of points
Students use StudyCards(tm) to answer multiple choice questions about points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiple-choice-questions-on-locus-of-points
Square Tables
In this activity, students will make a variety of squares using square tiles and the Table feature of the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ to discover patterns and make predictions off those patterns.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-tables
Scientific Notation
This activity gives students an opportunity to see where large and small numbers are used and how scientific notation offers a convenient method of writing such numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/scientific-notation
Move it
In this activity, students investigate transformation, slides and scaling, of a triangle using lists. They will add, subtract and multiply numbers to the list and describe the changes that have occurred. Students are to make the connection between changing the x- or y-values and the transformation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-it
Mirror, Mirror, on the Graph
In this activity, students review basic geometry vocabulary while investigating reflections on a coordinate grid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mirror-mirror-on-the-graph
Extension: Parallel Lines and the Sum of the Angles
Students construct a line parallel to the base of a triangle and measure the angles formed. They use the construction to prove that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/extension-parallel-lines-and-the-sum-of-the-angles
