Light at a Distance: Distance and Light Intensity
In this activity, students will use a light sensor to record the light intensity at various distances from a bulb. They will compare the data to an inverse square and a power law model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/light-at-a-distance-distance-and-light-intensity
Perms and Combs?
Students will use built-in commands to evaluate factorials, combinations, and permutations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perms-and-combs
Exponent Game
Students compare powers and decide whether to add or subtract values to a cumulative total so that the total stays as close to zero as possible.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exponent-game
The Ordinary Man
Students estimate the heights of people and compare the estimates to the actual heights in a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-ordinary-man
From a Distance...You Can See It!
Students find the distance between points using common fractions and decimals, with the concepts of midpoint and distance. They also learn to solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-a-distance---you-can-see-it
Remember Me?
Students use the calculator to compute the value of expressions involving order of operations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/remember-me
Let Us Count the Ways!
Students evaluate expressions using permutations and combinations of data elements on the calculator. They solve problems using these counting principles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/let-us-count-the-ways
How Close is Close?
Students compute statistical measures like the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the data set. They understand how measures of variability can be interpreted.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-close-is-close
Going Out of Business
Students use the Pythagorean theorem to compute the diagonals of rectangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-out-of-business
What's Your Mileage?
Students use linear equations to model and solve real-world problems. Students also see the correlation between the graph of an equation and its calculated slope by plotting graphs by hand and then calculating slopes with the calculator and comparing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-your-mileage
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. Students need prior experience writing linear models for this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan
What Makes a Food Nutritional?
Students will analyze select nutritional values of specific food products and then compare those values to the recommended daily allowances published by the U.S.D.A. They will calculate percentages and fractions based upon the information they find.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-a-food-nutritional
Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the situation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/will-girls-and-boys-be-equal
Let’s Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways
How Hot Is It?
Students who are familiar with the two most common standards of measuring temperature learn how to reliably convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Students also see how order of operations is crucial in an equation, through discussion and data entry on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-hot-is-it
