Probability

Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.

Ellipses with center at (h, k)

Students will put the equations of an ellipse with center at (h, k) in standard form. Identify the center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, length of diamter axis, and length of the minor diameter. They will graph the ellipses.

Shark Frenzy

Students examine equations in the family of linear functions which are of the form y = m x, each of which correspond to a different family of sharks. They relate the slope to the ratio of the shark’s fork length to its total length. When comparing two sharks of the same length, students con...

Inference for Correlation and Regression

In this activity, students test if a significant relationship exists between a bivariate data set, and then calculate the confidence and predictive intervals. They also improve the interval-prediction capabilities by automating the process.

Shortest Distance Problem

This is a great follow-up to the Introduction to Properties in Reflections. Students may have trouble producing a scaled drawing. Using a scale of 1 to 5 works well. See the figure below for a possible scaled construction.

On Your Mark, Get Set, React

This session will demonstrate a novel approach to reaction time experiments done in junior science and mathematics courses. Participants will use a Calculator-Based Ranger (CBR™) and a TI-83+ to record their reaction times. A statistical extension will be presented for use in mathematics classes....

Forecasting

Students use regression to forecast values from a data. They study exponential smoothing. They also use the program FORECAST to automate a multiplicative model.

Exponential Growth Experiment

Students will work in pairs and will conduct a growth experiment. They will record their answers for 7 to 10 trials. They will make a scatterplot of their data and share their graphs with the class.

Exploring Exponential Decay

Students will work in pairs and conduct an experiment with M&M's where they start with a cupful and continue to decrease the n umber of M&M's in their cup.

Estimating and Finding Confidence Intervals

In this activity, students estimate statistical measures and find confidence intervals.

Heads Up! (continued)

In this activity, students explore how to write and enter a calculator program that will simulate coin tossing for a given number of times and count the number of heads and tails. They analyze the program and modify it.

Get on the Stick

Students use a CBR 2™ to measure the reaction time of catching a stick. They also learn how to interpret a box plot and make a five number summary of a single variable data set.

Measure Up

Students compare their height with the average height of students in the classroom. They create histograms to analyze the data, and construct boxplots to summarize the height statistics.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up_1

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.

TI Using the Chi-Squared Significance Test

Students will apply the chi-squared test for independence to a data set of high school AP Statistics Exam scores. They will set up a two-way table and calculate the chi-squared test statistic by hand.

Run Me a Hypothesis Test

This activity is designed to give students' practice in determining which type of test to run given certain background information. Additionally, it provides practice towards understanding the meaning of rejecting or failing to reject a null hypothesis.

Some Nonparametric Tests

Students explore nonparametric tests for dependent and independent data samples.

What Is Your Grade (Part 2)

In this activity, students use the CellSheet Application to determine the missing value in a weighted mean. They use the application to write a formula to find the weighted mean and also learn to use the copy and paste features.
