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
Bats Triangular
Students use manipulatives to construct a pyramid. The manipulative pyramid then becomes the basis students use to construct a pictorial representation of a pyramid. The TI-10 is used to show symbolic representation of students actions and also aids students in viewing the developing pattern.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bats-triangular
Amazing Appetites
Students learn to count and solve original word problems. They learn to add by combining sets and subtract when removing the set. They use manipulatives to reflect the reasoning used in problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/amazing-appetites
Vectors
Describes how to use the TI-89 for coordinate system transformations, vector algebra, and vector component transformations. The functions rec2cyl(), cyl2rec(), rec2sph(), and sph2rec() are created in this chapter for vector component transformations and are used in Chapters 10 and 11.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors
Who's in the House
Students construct a model of a house, drawing pictures of the people and pets in the house. Students use skip counting strategies to find possible combinations of people and pets that live in their classmates houses with the help of pictures and TI-10.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whos-in-the-house
Manipulating Lab Data: The Diode
Introduces the Shockley diode equation, which gives the voltage-current characteristics of a diode. The equation is plotted and compared to actual diode data taken in a laboratory. The method of importing data to the TI-89 is shown, followed by instructions on how to manipulate the data to prep...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-lab-data--the-diode
Football Scores
Students will determine the possible combinations of scoring events in a football game to reach a specific end score.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/football-scores
Comparing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students compare univariate data distributions using statistical concepts like boxplots, stemplots, and histograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-distributions-of-univariate-data
Sampling Distributions
Students studies the distribution of sample proportions with a simulation. They find small sample size leads to skewed distribution and as the sample size increases, the distribution becomes more normal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling-distributions
Golden Rectangles
Students measure rectangles and calculate ratio between the sides. They compare the ratio to the Golden Ratio (1.618).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/golden-rectangles
What Makes a Food Nutritious?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritious
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. For this activity, students need prior experience writing linear models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan_1
The Ordinary Man
Students will estimate the heights of various celebrities in feet and inches. They will use the TI-34 MultiView™ scientific calculator to convert actual heights in inches to feet and inches, and they will compare the actual heights with their estimated heights. Finally, they will graph the estima...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man

Introduction to the Fundamental Theorem
This activity builds student comprehension of functions defined by a definite integral, where the independent variable is an upper limit of integration.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-the-fundamental-theorem
Move Those Chains
Students practice using the Chain Rule to differentiate compositions of functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/move-those-chains_1
