Measure Up!

In this activity, students' create a plot showing the heights of some of their classmates. They determine the extreme values and the median for the height data and construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the height statistics.

Experimentally Calculating Pi

Because the diameter of a circle is related to the circumference of a circle, we can find this constant relationship by measuring several lids and fitting a regression line to the data. The slope of this line is pi. This is a great activity to allow students to discover that Pi is the relations...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Finders Keepers" - The Leaf Drops

In "Finders Keepers," a world-class racing yacht sinks in the ocean. The NSA has the exact location where its homing beacon shut down and assumes that is where the ship sank. The NSA is stumped when they cannot find the yacht at this location because they assumed the boat sank directly to the bot...

Similar Triangles and Proportions

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the similar triangles formed when a segment is constructed parallel to one side of a triangle. They will explore the various ratios that exist between the lengths of the sides of similar triangles.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - A Bit of Basic Blackjack

In "Double Down," three students are tied up in a money-laundering scheme involving money won in the card game blackjack. In this activity, we discuss a simplified version of blackjack and analyze the probability of winning in various situations. Because cards are drawn from the deck and not re...

Segments Formed by Intersecting Chords, Secants, and Tangents

This activity is designed to help students discover several important theorems concerning lengths of segments formed by intersecting chords, secants, and tangents.

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - No Desk Left Behind

In "Democracy", Charlie calculates the likelihood that five people who knew each other would have died by accident in a two-week period. He estimates that the odds of this are 700 million to 1. To estimate likelihood of an event, a simulation can be used. In this activity, students use a simulati...

Some Nonparametric Tests

Students explore nonparametric tests for dependent and independent data samples.

Means With Confidence

Students estimate the true mean of a population when the standard deviation is known by finding the sample mean, margin of error and confidence interval.

Testing Hypotheses (Means, Proportions, and Standard Deviations)

In this activity, students evaluate hypotheses.

Testing Goodness-of-Fit and Two-Way Table Chi-Square

Students perform chi-square tests to see if data follows a hypothesized distribution. They also study the two-way table analysis.

What! A Mistake!

Students learn about Type I and Type II errors. Then, for a given scenario, they calculate the probabilities of errors and the power of the test.

Testing Claims About Proportions

Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "The O.G." - Is It Really Rare?

Suppose that historically, a shooting has occurred in Los Angeles an average of once every 6 hours. Suppose that Charlie is interested in the probability of 2 shootings occurring in a given 24-hour period. He could use a Poisson distribution to find that probability.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--the-o-g---is-it-really-rare

Claims About Two Proportions

Students test claims about two proportions by calculating test statistics, critical values, and P-values, for both one-tailed and two-tailed tests.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Soft Target" - Are You Sure?

In "Soft Target," Charlie uses Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), a multiple regression method, to predict the next terrorist attack. This method, like many others used to predict events, may use a tree diagram to visualize possibilities. The use of tree diagrams is seen in probability.

Square it Up!

Students investigate the method of least squares by finding the residuals and the sum of the squares of the residuals.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-it-up_1

Collecting Data

In this activity, students investigate how to use random numbers to collect samples and how to randomly assign subjects to experiments to collect data. They also use the CBL system to collect data in real time.

Is it Rare?

Students use the Poisson distribution to determine the probabilities for various numbers of hurricanes hitting the United States in a given year.

Intro to the Central Limit Theorem

Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.

Candy Pieces

Students use a chi-square test for goodness-of-fit to determine if there is a significant difference between the proportions they find in the sample, and the proportions they would expect if the manufacturer produced equal proportions of each color.
