Explore Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Students will use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will find that parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts and that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. This Technology Lab accompa...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/explore-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
You're Probably Right, It's Wrong - TI-83
In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/youre-probably-right-its-wrong--ti83
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Contenders" - Dialing Ben
In "Contenders," David's friend, Ben Ellis, is a suspect of two murders. The FBI can not find Ben when he stops using his cell phone. Charlie explains that Ben may be using a friend's cell phone and might be identified by his unique calling pattern, so he compares the cell phone records of Ben an...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--contenders--dialing-ben
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Contenders" - Choosing Contenders
In "Contenders," the FBI asks Charlie and Amita to look at official league rankings of each fighter and compare them with their own 'rankings,' created using the skill levels and past performances of each fighter. They find that one fighter has had an easy path to the championship because this fi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--contenders--choosing-contenders
Chi-Squared Tests
In this activity, students will look at a problem situation that involves categorical data and will determine which is the appropriate chi-square test to use: the chi-squared goodness of fit or the chi-squared two-way test.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chisquare-distributions
Explore Transformations with Matrices
Students will use a graphing calculator to explore transformations with matrices. They will analyze how each element of the matrix affects the position of the image. This Technology Lab accompanies Lesson 12-3 from the ©2007 Holt, Rinehart and Winston Geometry textbook.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/explore-transformations-with-matrices
Calculating the Area of a Triangle Using Heron's Formula
Students will measure the lengths of the sides of three different triangles and apply Heron's Formula to calculate the area in acres. The measurements for this activity may be done outside or, using a specified scale, completed inside. Students will calculate the area using their graphing calcul...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/calculating-the-area-of-a-triangle-using-herons-formula
Got an equilateral triangle? with Cabri Jr.
Using the Compass tool in Cabri Jr., students will construct an equilateral triangle, and check the length of each side. When a vertices is moved using the Alpha hand, the triangle remains equilateral.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/got-an-equilateral-triangle---with-cabri-jr
Effective Annual Rate & Nominal Rate
In this activity, students use the effective annual rate calculation to compare the nominal rates of various financial instruments.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/effective-annual-rate--nominal-rate
Activity Center Golf Course
There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation of the line that connects the golf ball to the hole. The cor...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-center-golf-course
Binomial Multiplication
Students will enter an expression showing the multiplication of two binomials into Y1 in an equation that can be graphed. They will also multiply the binomials and enter the result into Y2 to verify that the graph remains the same. Finally, they will combine like terms and enter the result into...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-multiplication
