Vectors
Describes how to use the TI-89 for coordinate system transformations, vector algebra, and vector component transformations. The functions rec2cyl(), cyl2rec(), rec2sph(), and sph2rec() are created in this chapter for vector component transformations and are used in Chapters 10 and 11.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vectors
Action-Packed Subtraction Patterns
Students learn to use manipulatives and calculators to explore what happens when they change one number at a time in a subtraction number sentence. They record and develop the pattern that develops.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-subtraction-patterns
Action-Packed Stories
Students learn to use whole numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction. They choose a number and create a story using the number selected and illustrate the number story. They represent the action in the story on the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/actionpacked-stories
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
Marching Columns
Students investigate constructing arrangements of different numbers of manipulatives into equal groups. They learn to use mathematical language, identify patterns with numbers, recognize the commutative property, and transfer the arrangements made with manipulatives to grid paper.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/marching-columns
Map It!
Students explore map making. Students read a story, identify the locations of different places in the story, decide the distance between each set of places in the story, and create a map with a legend.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/map-it
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
How Salty Is It?
Students learn to solve a real-world problem involving salt water. Students will determine the amount of sea salt needed to turn an aquarium into a simulated salt-water environment. They also experiment with items and check their buoyancy in water with varying salt concentrations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-salty-is-it
How do You Measure Up? (with the TI-10)
Students measure weight, height, and length with the help of a balance, scales, rulers, yardstick, and tape measures. They use their TI-10 to find proportions and to round off answers to whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-you-measure-up-with-the-ti10
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Graphs and Fractions
Have students draw squares on graph paper and half some of the squares on the outside. Number all the squares and continue numbering with the halfs. Students are then instructed to create their own ratios such as: 4 halves to eight wholes of odd numbers etc. Encourage student's to be creative by ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-and-fractions
Football Scores
Students will determine the possible combinations of scoring events in a football game to reach a specific end score.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/football-scores
Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event happening. Students investigate the binomial and geometric prob...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-as-relative-frequency
Confidence Intervals
Students understand the confidence intervals for a proportion and for a mean. They also examine the confidence intervals for the difference between two means, and for the difference between two proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals
The Normal Distribution
Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-normal-distribution_1
Exploring Bivariate Data
Students graph scatter plots and understand the concepts of correlation and least-squares regression. They also perform transformations to achieve linearity in the data plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-bivariate-data
Sampling Distributions
Students studies the distribution of sample proportions with a simulation. They find small sample size leads to skewed distribution and as the sample size increases, the distribution becomes more normal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling-distributions
Sampling Distribution of Differences
This activity covers the distribution of a difference between two independent sample proportions or two independent sample means.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling-distribution-of-differences
