Modeling CO2 Levels
This TI-84 Family activity uses data on monthly carbon dioxide (CO2) levels collected from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. It provides an opportunity to engage students with data that is relevant to contemporary discussions of climate change.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-co2-levels_84
3D Surface Area and Volume
In this TI-84 activity, students will be finding both the Surface Area and Volume of several 3D objectshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/3d-surface-area-and-volume_84
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...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shark-frenzy
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inference-for-correlation-and-regression
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distance-problem
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....https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/on-your-mark-get-set-react
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forecasting
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponential-growth-experiment
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-exponential-decay
Estimating and Finding Confidence Intervals
In this activity, students estimate statistical measures and find confidence intervals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-and-finding-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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heads-up-continued
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/get-on-the-stick
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up
TI Using the Chi-Squared Significance Test
