NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Longshot" - Expected Value

In "Longshot", a man is murdered after the horse he bet on won a race. A notebook filled with horse racing data and equations is found on the victim. Charlie finds that the equations were designed to pick the second place finisher. He explains that the racetrack uses a pari-mutuel betting system,...

The Euler Line and Its Ratios

In this activity, students will explore the Euler Line of a triangle. Students will discover that the centroid, circumcenter, and orthocenter are collinear. Students will also find that if the triangle is isosceles, then the centroid, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter are all collinear. Stu...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Hardball" - Less it More

In "Hardball", an amateur mathematician named Oswald Kettner creates a mathematical process that uses baseball statistics to identify players who are abusing steroids. The FBI, with Charlie's assistance, is called in to protect Oswald from being a murder target for his findings. In this activity,...

Transforming "F" on the coordinate plane

Students move their cursor in activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x coordinate") and sketch the resulting transformation on their worksheet...

Triangle Congruence with Activity Center

When the activity is started in Navigator, students receive a diagram on their calculators with 6 regions representing the possible answers to a triangle congruence problem. The teacher displays a pair of triangles on the overhead projector or whiteboard and students move their cursor to the regi...

The Tangent Ratio

In this activity students explore the tangent ratio. Students construct a right triangle using perpendicular lines, and a line that forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. When students construct the hypotenuse line it is very important that the second point that forms the line is not on the perpen...

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Assassin" - The Escape Game

In "Assassin," Charlie is trying to figure out where a killer might strike given that he knows who the victim will be. By analyzing the movements of the would-be victim, Charlie models the decisions that the assassin will make. This is an example of behavioral game theory, where the motives of tw...
