NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - No Fly Zone
In "Take Out", a series of restaurant robberies prompts the FBI to ask Charlie to help predict the restaurant most likely to be targeted next. Charlie says that it can be thought of like a spider catching its prey in a web. Even the best constructed web can not catch all insects. There exist regi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--no-fly-zone
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree, Part II - Daughters" - Galton Board
In this activity, students will study Galton boards. A Galton board is a vertical or inclined board with a series of staggered pins arranged in a triangle. As balls are dropped from the top of the board, they strike the pins and will fall either to the left or to the right and eventually land in ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--spree-part-ii--daughters--galton-board
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
Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
...ime-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s). The voltage, v(t), of a sourceless, parallel, RLC circuit with initial conditions is found through the Laplace transform method. Then the solution, v(t), is graphed. Also shows how to find and plot the poles and zeros of a circuit's transfer...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/laplace-analysis--the-sdomain
How do You Measure Up? (with the TI-10)
Students measure weight, height, and length with the help of a balance, scales, rulers, yardstick, and tape measures. They use their TI-10 to find proportions and to round off answers to whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-you-measure-up-with-the-ti10
Graphs and Fractions
Have students draw squares on graph paper and half some of the squares on the outside. Number all the squares and continue numbering with the halfs. Students are then instructed to create their own ratios such as: 4 halves to eight wholes of odd numbers etc. Encourage student's to be creative by ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-and-fractions
What's the Trig?
Students will be introduced to right triangle trigonometry. They will use the TI-89 and Geometer's Sketchpad to construct a right triangle and calculate sin, cosine, and tangent of various acute angles. (Topic - Right Triangle Trigonometry)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-trig
Angle Theorem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the relationship between angle and ratio in a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-theorem
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
What's the Spin?
Students discover properties of rotations using the TI-89 and CABRI Geometry II by rotating a triangle around a point and through a specified angle. They will discover the definition of a rotation. (Topic -- Rotations and their relation to reflect)https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-spin
Area of Triangle
This Cabri Geometry activity enables students to review the relationship between the height of a triangle and its perimeter and area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-triangle
Conics in Geometry
This lesson has students construct 3 conic sections through geometric definitions. Using the CABRI™ Geometry II application for the TI-89, students construct a parabola, an ellipse, and a hyperbola. (Topics - geometric shapes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-geometry
Cottage Water Problem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to solve a geometry problem. They move the vertex point that is common to two right triangles along the base to find the smallest possible sum of the length of the hypotenuse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cottage-water-problem
Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
