Using CBR in Egg Drop Competition
Egg drop competition is a popular activity to reinforce the lessons in force and motion. In the activity, the students are asked to design a vehicle to carry the egg safely when dropped from a height of 10 feet (about 3 m) or more. Real-time and concrete data collected and analyzed during the de...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-cbr-in-egg-drop-competition
What's the Plan?
Students investigate area with nonstandard and standard units of measure. They work to plan a unique vegetable garden and calculate the costs of plants for the garden.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-the-plan
Ratios in Regular Polygons
Students use linear measurement and calculators to investigate the ratios between corresponding parts of regular polygons.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-in-regular-polygons
Reading Picture Graphs
Students learn to read simple picture graphs with the help of a calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reading-picture-graphs
Only Half There?
Students use measuring tools and calculators to make half-sized drawings of themselves.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/only-half-there
Taxonomy
This StudyCards(tm) stack enables students to review the vocabulary used in studying taxonomy.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taxonomy
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Students' learn about adding and subtracting decimals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-and-subtracting-decimals
Convolution
Shows the convolution of two functions. To simplify the details, the functions are finite, piecewise, and continous.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convolution
DC Circuit Analysis
Shows three examples of the use of nodal analysis to solve linear circuits. The first two examples use the solve() command to solve a set of linear equations for circuit. The third example shows how to write the equations in matrix form and use simult() to solve them.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dc-circuit-analysis
Exploring Hurricane Strength
In the activity, we explore multiple regression equations among Saffir-Simpson Scale, Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm Surge of hurricanes. We relate our models to Hurricane Katrina, Gustav, and Ike.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hurricane-strength
Data Analysis and Probability
Students explore the basics in data analysis and probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/data-analysis-and-probability
Median and Interquartile Range
In this lesson students are introduced to the median and, by taking the median of each half of the data, to quartiles and the interquartile rangehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/medians-and-iqrs-bc
Amazing Appetites
Students learn to count and solve original word problems. They learn to add by combining sets and subtract when removing the set. They use manipulatives to reflect the reasoning used in problem solving.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/amazing-appetites
Who's in the House
Students construct a model of a house, drawing pictures of the people and pets in the house. Students use skip counting strategies to find possible combinations of people and pets that live in their classmates houses with the help of pictures and TI-10.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whos-in-the-house
Measurement and Geometry
Students explore the use of manipulatives to conduct simple geometry and measurement activities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measurement-and-geometry
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
Mean As a Fair Share
This lesson introduces students to mean as a way to describe the center of a set of data. Often called the average, the mean can also be visualized as “leveling out” the data in the sense of “fair share”.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-fair-share-bc
Mean As A Balance Point
In this lesson, students calculate deviations from the mean, how far each value is above or below the mean. Students also focus on the balance point of a distribution, where the sum of the absolute deviations below the mean is equal to the sum of the absolute deviations above the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-as-a-balance-point-bc
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
Box Plots
In this lesson, students plot the two extreme values (minimum and maximum), the lower quartile (LQ), upper quartile (UQ), and the median (a five-number summary) on a number line to create a graph called is a box plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/box-plots-bc
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
Stepping Stones
Students use volume formulas and proportional reasoning to calculate the amount of concrete needed to make stepping stones of a specific size.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stepping-stones
Banquet Meal
Students use proportional reasoning skills to increase a family-size recipe to a banquet-size recipe.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/banquet-meal
Golden Rectangles
Students measure rectangles and calculate ratio between the sides. They compare the ratio to the Golden Ratio (1.618).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/golden-rectangles
Finding the area of a perfect polygon.
