Graphical Displays of Univariate Data
Students will sort data and construct stemplots, dotplots, histrograms, and frequency plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphical-displays-of-univariate-data
Box Plots
In this lesson, students plot the two extreme values (minimum and maximum), the lower quartile (LQ), upper quartile (UQ), and the median (a five-number summary) on a number line to create a graph called is a box plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-bc
Summarizing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students understand statistical concepts like center of data and the amount of data variation from the center. They calculate the measures of the center of a distribution and the measures of spread for the data collected as a list. Students also create boxplots for the data. They examine the effe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/summarizing-distributions-of-univariate-data
Proportional Flag
Students will use the concepts of similarity to create a scale drawing of the national flag, that is large enough to cover most of a football field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proportional-flag
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
Stepping Stones
Students use volume formulas and proportional reasoning to calculate the amount of concrete needed to make stepping stones of a specific size.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stepping-stones
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros
Creating Word Problems
Students write word problems based on the whole numbers generated by the calculator. They decide on an operation to solve the problems. Finally, they analyze the problems to determine the problem characteristics when using operations on whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-word-problems
Thrift Store Markdowns
Students will calculate a series of discounts using increasing unit fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/thrift-store-markdowns
Exploring the Unit Circle
In this activity, students explore the properties of a unit circle and its mapping functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-unit-circle
Finding the area of a perfect polygon.
To find the area of a "regular polygon."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-the-area-of-a-perfect-polygon
Pizza Extravaganza
Students will conduct a survey of the class to determine favorite pizza toppings. They use this sample information to predict the preferred toppings for the school and use the TI-15 to help them with the calculations to plan a school-wide pizza party.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pizza-extravaganza
Meal Manager
Students will use percentages and proportional reasoning skills to solve problems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/meal-manager
Building Expressions
In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expres...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/building-expressions-bc
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Modeling Median Incomes
In this activity, students investigate and examine the data underlying the claim that women’s income is catching up to men’s income.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-median-incomes
What is an Equation?
In this lesson students begin by establishing the difference between an expression and an equation. Students then investigate expressions and equations to develop what it means to have a solution to an equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-equation-bc
What is an Exponent?
...at the base, 3, is used as a factor four times. This lesson focuses on how the definition can be used in a variety of situations to make sense of the computations: , , and in particular, allows students to investigate whether exponents “distribute” over operations other than mul...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-an-exponent--bc
Equations and Operations
In this lesson students investigate the relationship between the solution to an equation and the solution to a new equation formed by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing one or both sides of the original equation by a numerical value. Students develop an understanding of “solution...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/equations-and-operations-bc
