Students will work through a scenario of a business venture involving washing dogs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/going-into-business
REAL LIFE REAL WORLD Activity: Air Traffic Control
In this lesson, students will model and solve air traffic control problems with geometry software. The Cabri Jr. application will be used to construct a model of the problem situation and concepts from trigonometry and proportions are then applied to find the solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/real-life-real-world-activity-air-traffic-control
Ain't No River Wide Enough
Students simulate the process a surveyor would use to measure the width of a river by measuring length on one side of the river and angles formed by various reference points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/aint-no-river-wide-enough
Exploring Vertical Asymptotes- 84
This lesson involves observing how changing the values in a rational function affects the continuity of the graph of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-vertical-asymptotes_1
Binomial Probabilities
Students simulate rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures by using the randBin command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities
End Behavior of Polynomial Functions - 84
This lesson involves determining the similarities and differences among functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/end-behavior-of-polynomial-functions_1
The Amazing Race: Algebra Edition
This is a full lesson, and the guided practice section utilizes the Navigator system. The independent practice is the game The Amazing Race (explained in the PDF).https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-amazing-race--algebra-edition
Exploring Cavalieri's Principle
Students explore Cavalieri's Principle for cross sectional area and volume.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-cavalieris-principle
Using the Distance Formula to find Trapezoidal Area
This activity can be used as a formative assessment review of algebra and coordinate geometryhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-distance-formula-to-find-trapezoidal-area
Percentiles - IB
The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile. In doing so, students will learn how to use the Normal CDF and Inverse Normal commands on t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles
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...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-segments-in-a-circle
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Traffic" - What is Random
In "Traffic", Charlie lectures about randomness, explaining that 'our brains misperceive evenness as random and wrongly assume that groupings are deliberate'. In mathematics, we expect to see some clustering, or an occasional appearance of a pattern, when examining truly random events. In this ac...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--traffic--what-is-random
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.'...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--outliers
