Arrow- An Activiaty for Plotting Points

Students are given points to plot in activity center. The points will form an arrow. The teacher can then direct students to change the coordinates to translate the picture. Students practice plotting points, integer operations, and see transformations in one activity.

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.

Graphing Systems at the Races

This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm. The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.

Arithmetic Sequences & Series

Students use formulas to find the differences of the consecutive terms, plot a scatter plot of each sequence, and determine that sequences with common differences (called arithmetic sequences) have scatter plots whose points form a straight line.

Circle Product Theorems

Students will use dynamic models to find patterns. These patterns are the Chord-Chord, Secant-Secant, and Secant-Tangent Theorems.

Operations of Signed Numbers( focus on vocabulary)

This activity will explore operations on integers with a focus on different vocabulary used to describe changes in signs and changes in operations.

Quick Stats with Quick Poll

It's so simple. Since Quick Poll gives a bar graph when a poll is taken, the teacher can use these graphs to do all kinds of neat statistical manipulations with the students.

Inference for Two-way Tables

Students use the chi-square test to analyze whether two categorical variables are independent or dependent calculating expected frequencies, the test statistic and the critical values.

Shortest Distance Between Points and Lines

This activity investigates concepts such as the shortest distance between two points in a plane, and the shortest distance between a line and a point not on the line. The analytical explanation of these concepts is supported with visual illustrations.

One- and Two-Variable Statistics--Review

Students review one-variable topics such as graphing quantitative variables, calculating measures of central tendency and spread, and making comparisons.

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Sharpshooter

...g." For example, suppose a person randomly shoots a gun several times at the side of a barn and draws a circle around the holes that are closest to each other. Since they fit in a 'cluster,' the person declares himself to be a Texas Sharpshooter. Students will examine and simulate Texas Sharpshoo...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Different or Not?

In the episode, the FBI discovers that children in the area of a sinkhole seem to have an unusually high occurrence of cancer. FBI agent Megan Reeves believes that this might represent a "cancer cluster," but Charlie warns her not to jump to this conclusion too quickly. Students will use a statis...

Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment

Students learn to draw a segment and its perpendicular bisector. They understand right angles and congruent segments. Students observe that changing the length or orientation of the segment changes the perpendicular bisector. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties ...

Perpendicular Segments in a Circle

Students learn about chords of a circle. They draw a line perpendicular to the chord and passing through the center of the circle. They explore the lengths of the two segments of the chord. They investigate with a different chord and with different sized circles. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: A...

Parallel Lines Cut By A Transversal

In this activity, students learn and increase their knowledge about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric re...

Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

Using Activity Center, students can move on a picture of a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer teacher questions related to the picture. The picture is set up so that it is on the screen of the student calculator as well as the classroom display.

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "The Art of Reckoning" - Spies Like Us

In "The Art of Reckoning," Charlie discusses the security of a prison. "It's a hyper-secure system, but prisoners have nothing to do except think about how to crack it. Like two opposing armies." Charlie explains that analyzing such a situation involves determining the 'probabilities of penetrati...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - Outliers

In "Take Out," Amita and Charlie help the FBI track financial transfers from the US to Mexico . There are so many transfers that it is difficult to find the specific transfer. Charlie explains that it is 'a matter of using a target-specific optimization model. Something called Outlier Detection.'...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree" - A Pursuit Curve Problem

In "Spree", two lovers have committed a series of crimes at various locations. Agents Eppes and Edgerton have plotted a map of their movements and have enlisted Charlie's help in trying to detect a pattern. Charlie says that the map shows only half of the story, and this pattern 'is a variation o...
